Welcome
Dear Children:
Before you ride your new Polaris ATV, there are some important things that you need to
know. You must learn how to keep yourself and those around you safe while you're riding.
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. You must also take an ATV
training course before you begin riding.
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. Never drive your ATV alone. Always make sure an adult is
watching you when you ride.
Drive safely and enjoy riding your new Polaris ATV!
