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 105. If water is present, dry the air box
and replace the filter with a new filter.
3. Remove the fuse/relay center cover. See page 96. 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.

succeed in starting it or not. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the
required service.

Steering Wheel Inspection

Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on
page 79.
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.
