Welcome
Dear Parents:
We believe your children should have the opportunity to enjoy The Way Out experience
along with you. We've provided this owner's manual to assist you and your children in learn-
ing about safe operation and care of your new ATV. Please review the information in this
manual with any child who may operate the ATV. Help your children learn to operate the
ATV with safety as a top priority. Help them also learn to show respect for our environment
and for the rights of others while operating the ATV.
Children differ in skills, physical abilities and judgement. Some children may not be able to
operate an ATV safely. Always supervise your child's use of the ATV, and permit continued
use only if you determine that your child has the ability and maturity to operate the ATV
safely. Never allow a child to operate the ATV without adult supervision.
The preventive maintenance program outlined in this manual is designed to ensure that all
critical components on your child's ATV are thoroughly inspected at various intervals. For
safe and enjoyable operation of the vehicle, be sure to follow all of the instructions and rec-
ommendations in this manual. If you have any questions about the ATV, contact a Polaris
dealer for assistance.

Welcome
Dear Children:
Before you ride your new Polaris ATV, there are some important things that you need to
know. Your parents and Polaris want you to enjoy riding your new ATV, and that's why you
need to read and understand the information in your owner's manual.
Ask your parents to explain anything you don't understand, and pay close attention to the
warnings and instructions you read. Your safety and the safety of others is the most important
thing to think about at all times.
As the driver of the ATV, you must learn how to keep yourself and those around you safe
while you're riding. So read your manual, and then enjoy riding your new Polaris ATV!

Safety
Understand the Warnings
Always follow the age guidelines for your ATV. Never allow a younger child to ride on or
drive the ATV. Make sure all operators have completed an approved ATV safety training
course such as the SVIA RiderCoursesm and understand all warnings and the owner's manual
before driving the ATV.
Know Your ATV Before Riding
Parents must help their children learn the proper and safe way to ride an ATV. Read the
owner's manual with your children before starting the engine for the first time, and review it
with them periodically afterwards.

Safety Training
ATV safety training is a top priority for Polaris. When you purchased your new ATV, your
dealer instructed you on the authorized ATV RiderCoursesm available to you and your eligi-
ble family members. This training is included in the purchase price of your ATV. Polaris
strongly encourages you and your age eligible family members who will be riding the ATV
to take the ATV RiderCoursesm.
In addition, you were provided with printed material and a video or DVD that instructs oper-
ators on safe operating procedures. You should review this information with your child on a
regular basis.
If you purchased a used Polaris ATV, you can take the ATV RiderCoursesm by calling ATV
Enrollment Express at [phone] or by visiting www.atvsafety.org. Purchasers of a
used Polaris ATV will be charged for this training.
