VEHICLE IMMERSION
NOTICE
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 vehicle to a dealer before starting it, follow the
steps outlined below.
1. Move the vehicle to dry land.
2. Check the air box. See page 163. If water is present, dry the air box and
replace the filter with a new filter.
3. Remove the fuse/relay center cover. See the Fuse/Relay Center section for
details. Allow any moisture to dry, then reinstall the cover.
4. Dry the spark plug wells with a clean cloth, then remove the spark plugs.
5. Turn the engine over several times.
6. Dry the spark plugs and reinstall them, or install 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 POLARIS dealer can provide the required service.
9. If water has been ingested into the PVT follow the procedure on page 161 for
drying.
STEERING WHEEL INSPECTION
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the
intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8-1.0” (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or if the steering feels rough
or “catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an authorized POLARIS
dealer or other qualified personnel.
