OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your POLARIS vehicle can operate through
water up to a maximum recommended depth
equal to the floorboards.
NOTICE: Serious damage can occur to the
electrical system and batteries if the
vehicle is operated in water deeper than
the floorboards.
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 obsta-
cles.
4. Avoid operating through deep or fast-
flowing water.
5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeat-
edly until braking action is normal.
Driving Over Obstacles
Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:
1. Always check for obstacles before
operating in a new area.
2. Look ahead and learn to read the ter-
rain. Be constantly alert for hazards
such as logs, rocks and low hanging
branches.
3. Travel slowly and use extra caution
when operating on unfamiliar ter-
rain. Not all obstacles are immedi-
ately visible.
4. Move the drive mode switch to low
mode if needed. See page 20.
