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, or other qualified person, can
provide this service.
If it's impossible to take your POLARIS vehicle 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.
2. Dry any water present in the air box. Filter replacement is required if water is
present.
3. Dry any water present in the intake manifold.
4. Remove the spark plugs. Turn the engine over several times using the
electric start.
5. Dry the spark plugs and reinstall, or replace with new plugs.
6. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying procedure.
7. Take the vehicle in for service as soon as possible, whether you succeed in
starting it or not. Your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, can provide
the required service.
8. If water has been ingested into the PVT follow the PVT Drying procedure.
STEERING WHEEL INSPECTION
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the
intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8-1.0 in (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels rough or
“catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an authorized dealer.
