Owner's manual

• 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.

EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS

Never install any accessory that grounds to the vehicle chassis. The chassis is a

floating ground to protect against electrical short circuits and hazards.

Do not install any non-POLARIS-approved accessory or modify the vehicle for

the purpose of increasing speed or power. Any modifications or installation of

non-POLARIS-approved accessories could create a substantial safety hazard

and increase the risk of bodily injury.

The warranty on your POLARIS vehicle will be terminated if any non-POLARIS-

approved equipment and/or modifications have been added to the vehicle that

increase speed or power.

The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers,

blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics

of the vehicle. Use only POLARIS-approved accessories, and familiarize

yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.
