Owner's manual
• Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual.
See page 37. Check the terrain carefully before attempting to climb a hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Never go over
the top of a hill at high speed.
• Always follow the proper procedures outlined in this manual for traveling
downhill and for braking on hills. See page 37. Check the terrain carefully
before descending a hill. Never travel downhill at high speed. Avoid going
downhill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side. Travel straight down the hill where possible.
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
the proper procedures outlined in this manual when operating over obstacles.
See page 38.
• Always be careful of skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces such as ice,
travel slowly and exercise caution to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
• Never operate your vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water deeper than that
specified in this manual. See page 38. Wet brakes may have reduced
stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them
lightly several times to let friction dry out the pads.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind your vehicle when
operating in reverse. When it's safe to proceed in reverse, move slowly. Avoid
turning at sharp angles in reverse.
• Always use the proper size and type of tires specified in this manual. Always
maintain proper tire pressure as specified on safety labels.
• Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of non-
POLARIS-approved accessories.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. Cargo should be
properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow the
instructions in this manual for hauling cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow a greater
distance for braking.
• Always set the park brake and remove the key when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
