Operation Warning

WARNING

• To avoid serious injury or death, 

read and understand all warn-
ings and the Owner's Manual 
before operation. If manual is 
missing, contact a POLARIS 
dealer for a replacement.

• This vehicle is capable of high 

speeds. Buried objects or uneven 
terrain can cause loss of control. 
Reduce speed and use extreme 
caution when operating in unfa-
miliar terrain.

• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can 

result in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to 
avoid unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.

• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehi-

cle.

• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located 

on the top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then 
pull the brake lever to stop.

• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate 

clothing while operating this vehicle.

• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age 

requirements.

• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only) 

reduce speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A 
passenger reduces your ability to control the vehicle.

• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, 

steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and 
allow extra space to turn or stop.

• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you 

should have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See 
Owner's Manual for proper use of traction products.

• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss 

of braking ability.

• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave 

brake engaged for more than five minutes.

• Before starting engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper 

operation. Make sure hood and side panels are latched. Be seated 
and in position to control the vehicle.

Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when 
refueling.
