DRIVING THROUGH WATER
NOTICE
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after
operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart. The following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil,
demand drive fluid and all grease fittings.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after
operating in water, service is required before starting the engine. Your
POLARIS dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle
in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Vehicle
Immersion section of this manual, and take the vehicle in for service at the first
opportunity.
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth
equal to the bottom of the footrests. Follow these procedures when operating
through water:
1. Determine water depths and
current before entering water.
2. Choose a crossing where both
banks have gradual inclines.
3. Avoid operating through deep or
fast-flowing water.
4. After leaving water, test the
brakes. Apply them lightly
several times while driving
slowly. The friction will help dry
out the pads.
If it’s unavoidable to enter water deeper than the footrest level:
• Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
• Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements.
• Maintain a steady rate of speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops. Do not
make sudden throttle changes.
