OPERATION

Driving Through Water

Your vehicle can drive through shallow 

water. Make sure the water is no deeper 

than the floor of the vehicle. Follow 

these precautions when driving through 

water:
1. Check water depth. Never drive 

through water that is deeper than 

the floor level.

2. After driving through water, test 

the brakes. Apply them lightly 

several times while driving slowly. 

The friction will help dry out the 

pads.

NOTICE: Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly 

inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in 

the maintenance chart. See page 57. Give special attention to 

engine oil, transmission oil and all grease fittings.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that 

exceeds the floor level, 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 on page 86, and take the vehicle in for service 

at the first opportunity.
