Vehicle Immersion

NOTICE
Never operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water that exceeds the floorboard level of the vehicle.

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 authorized POLARIS dealer can provide this service.

If it's impossible to take your RANGER to a authorized POLARIS 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.

  2. Dry any water present in the air box and intake tube. The intake runner plug may be removed to help drain the intake tube. Filter replacement is required if water is present.

  3. Remove the intake runner drain plug if water is present in the intake duct. Reinstall the intake runner drain plug once drying is complete.

  4. Remove the fuse center covers. If water is present, dry the fuse center completely before attempting to start the vehicle.

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

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

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

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