Driving Through Water - Polaris Sportsman 570 2018 Owner's Manual

OPERATION

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth
equal to the bottom of the footrests. 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. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
NOTICE
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected
after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the maintenance
chart. See page 86. The following areas need special attention: engine oil,
transmission oil, demand drive fluid and all grease fittings.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after
operating in water, service is required before starting the engine. Your
POLARIS dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle
in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined on page 115, and
take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.
