Driving Through Water

Your ATV can safely operate through shallow water. The recommended maximum depth for your ATV is below the bottom of the footrests. Follow these precautions when operating through water:

  1. Determine water depth and current before entering water.

  2. If crossing a stream, choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.

  3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.

  4. After driving through water, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the levers (while moving) until braking action is normal. If you do not perform this procedure, your brakes may be ineffective.

NOTICE

Serious engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operating in water deeper than the footrest level. As soon as possible, perform the inspections and maintenance services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Engine oil, gear case oil and all grease fittings need special attention.

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, and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.
