OPERATION Driving Through Water Your Polaris vehicle 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 fastflowing water. Maximum Depth 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 49. The following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear gearcases (if equipped) and all grease fittings. If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after operating in water, restarting can result in serious engine damage. Transport the vehicle to your dealer for service before restarting the engine. If this is not possible, follow the vehicle immersion inspection and drying procedures outlined on page 80, then see your dealer for service at the first opportunity. 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. 41
