VEHICLE IMMERSION
WARNING
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 RANGER to a dealer before starting it, follow the
steps outlined below:
1. Move the vehicle to dry land or at the very least, to water below the footrests.
2. Dry any water present in the air box. Filter replacement is required if water is
present.
3. Remove the spark plugs. Turn the engine over several times using the
electric start.
4. Dry the spark plugs and reinstall, or replace with new plugs.
5. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying procedure.
6. 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.
7. If water has been ingested into the PVT follow the procedure for drying.
FILTER SYSTEMS
AIR FILTER
Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart. Service the air filter more frequently if the vehicle is operated in wet
conditions or at high throttle for extended periods.
1. Lift the cargo box to access the air box.
2. Release the five (5) air box cover latches and lower the bottom to expose the
air filter.
3. Remove the air filter.
4. Inspect the air box for oil or water deposits. Wipe away any deposits with a
clean cloth.
5. Install a new filter if needed. Do not attempt to clean the air filter.
INTAKE SCREENS
An engine intake screen (if equipped) is located on the driver’s side of the
vehicle. A clutch intake screen (if equipped) is located on the passenger side of
the vehicle.
Inspect the screens before each use of the vehicle. Remove all dirt and debris
from the screens and clean them frequently with warm soapy water
