SAFETY

Safety Warnings

Operating Improperly in Reverse

Improperly operating in reverse could result in a

collision with an obstacle or person. Always

follow proper operating procedures as outlined

in this manual. See page 67.
Before shifting into reverse gear, always check

for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.

When it's safe to proceed, back slowly.

Improper Tire Maintenance

Operating this vehicle with improper tires or with improper or uneven tire

pressure could cause loss of control, accident or rollover.
Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain

proper tire pressure as described in this owner's manual and on safety labels.

Skidding or Sliding

Failure to use extra caution when operating on

excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain

could cause loss of traction, loss of control,

accident or rollover. Do not operate on

excessively slippery surfaces. Always slow

down and use additional caution when

operating on slippery surfaces.
Skidding or sliding due to loss of traction can

cause loss of control or rollover (if tires regain

traction unexpectedly). Always follow proper

procedures for operating on slippery surfaces

as described in this owner's manual. See page 61.

Operating Over Obstacles

Improperly operating over obstacles

could cause loss of control or rollover.
Before operating in a new area, check

for obstacles. Avoid operating over

large obstacles such as large rocks and

fallen trees. Always follow the proper

procedures outlined in this manual

when operating over obstacles. See

page 66.

SAFETY

Safety Warnings

Operating Through Water

Operating through deep or fast-flowing

water can cause loss of traction, loss of

control, rollover or accident. Never operate

in fast-flowing water or in water that

exceeds the floor level of the vehicle.
Always follow proper procedures for

operating in water as described in this

owner’s manual. See page 65.
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping

ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while

driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.

Operating on Frozen Bodies of Water

Severe injury or death can result if the

vehicle and/or the operator fall through the

ice. Never operate the vehicle on a frozen

body of water unless you have first verified

that the ice is sufficiently thick to support

the weight and moving force of the vehicle,

you and your cargo, together with any

other vehicles in your party.
Always check with local authorities and

residents to confirm ice conditions and

thickness over your entire route. Vehicle

operators assume all risk associated with

ice conditions on frozen bodies of water.

Operating a Damaged Vehicle

Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any rollover or

other accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for

possible damage, including (but not limited to) seat belts, rollover protection

devices, brakes, throttle and steering systems.

SAFETY

Safety Warnings

Improper Cargo Loading

Overloading the vehicle or carrying/towing cargo improperly may cause

changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an

accident.
• Always follow the instructions in this owner’s manual for carrying cargo. See

page 68.

• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. See page 13.
• Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached. See page 68.
• Reduce speed when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow a greater distance

for braking.

Poor Visibility

Operating this vehicle in darkness or inclement weather could result in a

collision or accident, especially if operating on a road or street. This vehicle is

not equipped with highway-approved lights. Operate this vehicle off-road only.

Use caution and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility such

as fog, rain and darkness. Clean headlights frequently and replace burned out

headlamps promptly.

Refueling

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always turn off the engine when refueling.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated area free of any source of flame

or sparks.

• Always use an approved gasoline container to store fuel and remove the

container from the vehicle before filling to avoid fuel ignition due to electrical

static discharge.

• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where

refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.

• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and

water and change clothing.

SAFETY

Safety Warnings

Exposure to Exhaust

Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or

death in a short time. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.

Operate this vehicle only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.

Hot Exhaust Systems

Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle.

Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system

components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust

system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass, to

avoid debris build-up around the exhaust system.

Unauthorized Use of the Vehicle

Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by

someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper

training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition

key when the vehicle is not in use.

Equipment Modifications

Your POLARIS vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as

directed. Modifications to your vehicle may negatively impact vehicle stability.

Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with any

modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. This vehicle may

become less stable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of

control may occur at higher speeds.
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.
