OPERATION Driving Safely Driving Through Water WARNING The large tires on your RANGER may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast-flowing water, which could result in loss of control and lead to serious injury or death. Never cross deep or fast-flowing water with your RANGER. Your Polaris RANGER can operate through water up to a maximum recommended depth equal to the floorboards (1). Follow these procedures when operating through water: 1. Always determine water depths and current before entering. 2. Choose a crossing where both banks have 1 gradual inclines. 3. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles. 4. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the lever repeatedly until braking action is normal. NOTE: After running your vehicle in water, it's critical that you perform the services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 54. Give special attention to engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear gearcases, and all grease fittings. CAUTION Immersion can result in major damage if the vehicle isn't serviced correctly and promptly. After immersion, always take the vehicle to your dealer service. Do not start the engine! If it's impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine, perform the service outlined on page 76, and take the vehicle to your dealer at the first opportunity. 43
