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
