Vehicle Immersion

WARNING
If your vehicle becomes immersed, major engine damage can result if the machine is not thoroughly inspected. Take the vehicle in for service before starting the engine. Your POLARIS dealer can provide this service.

If it's impossible to take your RANGER to a dealer before starting it, follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Move the vehicle to dry land or at the very least, to water below the floorboard (or to water below seat base level if your vehicle is equipped with high mounted intakes).

  2. Dry any water present in the air box. Filter replacement is required if water is present.

  3. Remove the spark plugs. Turn the engine over several times using the electric start.

  4. Dry the spark plugs and reinstall, or replace with new plugs.

  5. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying procedure.

  6. Take the vehicle in for service as soon as possible, whether you succeed in starting it or not. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the required service.

  7. If water has been ingested into the PVT follow the procedure for drying.
