Driving Through Water

Your vehicle can operate through water up to a maximum recommended depth equal to the floorboards.

NOTICE
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that exceeds the seat base level, service is required before starting the engine. Your dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Spark Arrester section, and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.

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. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles.

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

    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 control and lead to serious injury or death. Never cross deep or fast-flowing water with your vehicle

  5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeatedly until braking action is normal.

    NOTICE
    After running your vehicle in water, it's critical that you perform the services outlined in the Polaris Maintenance Schedule. Give special attention to engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear gearcases (if equipped), and all grease fittings.
