Driving Through Water; Driving Over Obstacles - Polaris 2016 RANGER EV Li-Ion Owner's Manual

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
obstacles.
4. Avoid operating through deep or fast-
flowing water.
5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes
by applying light pressure to the pedal
repeatedly 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
terrain. Be constantly alert for
hazards such as logs, rocks and low
hanging branches.
3. Travel slowly and use extra caution
when operating on unfamiliar
terrain. Not all obstacles are
immediately visible.
4. Move the drive mode switch to low
mode if needed. See page 22.
5. Avoid operating over large obstacles such as large rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable,
use extreme caution and operate slowly.
6. Always have all passengers dismount and move away from the vehicle before operating
over an obstacle that could cause a rollover.
