OPERATION Driving Through Water Your vehicle can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to floor level. Follow these precautions when operating through water: 1. Determine water depth and current before entering water. 2. Choose a crossing where the water level is lowest and where both banks have gradual inclines. Never operate in water that exceeds the maximum recommended depth. Floor Level WARNING! The large tires on your vehicle may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast-flowing water, which could result in loss of traction, loss of control, rollover or accident. 3. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving 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 81. Give special attention to engine oil, transmission oil, demand drive fluid, rear gearcase oil (if equipped) and all grease fittings. If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that exceeds the floor level, take it to your POLARIS dealer for service before starting the engine. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine, perform the service outlined on page 119, and take the vehicle to your dealer at the first opportunity. 63

water.
2.
Choose a crossing where
the water level is lowest
and where both banks
have gradual inclines.
Never operate in water that
