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. Avoid applying brake and throttle at the same time. 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, 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 119, and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity. 62
