INTRODUCTION

SAFETY
OWNER REQUIREMENTS
Improper use, maintenance, or modification of this vehicle can lead to
serious injury or death.
Require proper use of your vehicle. Do not allow
anyone to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger
unless they are properly instructed and you are sure
they are willing to ride responsibly. To prevent
unauthorized use, always remove the ignition key
when the vehicle is not in use.
Any modifications or installation of non-POLARIS-approved accessories
could increase the risk of injury. While you may find aftermarket products
similar in design and quality to POLARIS accessories, recognize that some
aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential
safety hazards to you or others. It is never appropriate to install any additional
seating.
Check with the manufacturer to determine any potential effect of a modification
or accessory on the safe use of your vehicle. You are responsible for injuries
related to modifications to the vehicle. Modifications or accessories may:
• Damage machine components - especially modifications that increase speed
or power.
• Make the vehicle less stable at higher speeds.
• Add weight, reducing the amount of cargo and total weight you can carry, and
raise the vehicle’s center of gravity.
• Overload the vehicle’s electrical system capacity (see page 149). Blowing a
fuse may cause a loss of lights or engine power.
• Reduce the effectiveness of occupant protection systems, including the
seatbelts and the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS).
• Make it illegal to own or operate your vehicle. POLARIS-authorized spark
arresters, mufflers, and emissions control components are mandatory for
ownership or operation in many areas.
• Void your warranty.
The vehicle ROPS, when used with the seat belts and doors, provides a
structure to help protect occupants. The structure will not protect occupants
in all rollovers or accidents.

SAFETY

DRIVER AND PASSENGER QUALIFICATIONS
Make sure operators are 16 or older with a valid
driver’s license. Just because a teenager has a
license does not mean that they will make good
judgments about driving and avoid risk taking.
POLARIS recommends that you supervise younger drivers.
Set rules and put limits on how, when, and where they are
allowed to use this vehicle. For example, young drivers
may need to have an adult in the vehicle with them and not
be allowed to drive with their friends in the vehicle.
Make sure all riders fit the vehicle. Be sure that the driver and all passengers
are able to:
• sit with their backs against their seat,
• adjust the seat belt to fit properly,
• have both feet flat on the floor, and
• have both hands on the steering wheel or on a passenger hand hold.
Do not allow children who need child safety seats or booster seats to ride
in the vehicle. The vehicle is not designed to restrain automotive child safety
seats.
You are responsible for your passengers. Be sure passengers are seated
properly, belted, holding the passenger hand hold, and ready to brace.
Unrestrained riders can fall out or be thrown around and from a moving vehicle.
Every person must be properly seated and belted in their own seat. Two
people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can
crash into one another in a collision and be seriously injured. Never carry
passengers in the cargo bed as they could be thrown against or out of the
vehicle or come into contact with moving parts.
Do not let people drive or ride after using alcohol or drugs.

SAFETY

Improper tire maintenance can lead to loss of control and an accident, which
could result in serious injury or death. To reduce your risk of injury:
• Maintain POLARIS recommended tire pressure. Check pressure before
operating. Even if your vehicle has only been driven a short distance, the tire
pressure readings can become higher.
• Make sure tire pressures match the specifications listed in the table below.
• Only use the size and type of tires specified for this vehicle.
• Do not operate your vehicle with worn or damaged tires.
• Always follow your tire manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance.

SAFETY

PREPARE YOURSELF, PASSENGERS, AND
CARGO FOR THE RIDE
Wear an approved helmet. Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved
helmet increases the risk of serious injury. For example, a helmet reduces your
risk of injury from head strikes with the vehicle or other objects even if there is no
crash.
Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) label. Approved
helmets in Europe, Asia, and Oceania bear the ECE
22.05 label. The ECE mark consists of a circle
surrounding the letter E, followed by the distinguishing
number of the country which has granted approval.
The approval number and serial number will also be
displayed on the label.
Use shatterproof goggles or a shatterproof helmet face shield. Such
protective eyewear may reduce the risk of foreign material getting in your eyes
and help prevent loss of vision.
POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) that have markings
indicating they are designed to standards such as:
• VESC 8
• V-8
• Z87.1
• CE
Additional protective clothing and gear that may be appropriate for your
riding conditions includes:
• Always wear shoes when operating. Consider wearing sturdy over-the-ankle
boots suitable for the terrain you will be riding in.
• Full-finger gloves can protect against wind, sun, cold, and objects. Choose
gloves that fit snugly and allow fingers to move freely and grip on the steering
wheel or hand holds.
• Consider long sleeves and long pants to help protect arms and legs.
• Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing
loss. Properly worn hearing protective devices such as earplugs can help
prevent hearing loss. Check local laws or the rules of the riding area you are
in before wearing hearing protection to make sure its use is permitted.
14
SAFETY

Always stay completely inside the vehicle and hold the steering wheel or
hand holds. Body parts outside of the vehicle can be struck by passing objects
or crushed during a rollover. Do not put any part of your body outside of the
vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto the ROPS frame or put any part of your
body on the door.
Riding in this vehicle without closed and latched cab doors increases the risk of
serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Always make sure
all cab doors are closed and latched while riding in this vehicle.
Be sure riders pay attention and plan ahead. If you think or feel the vehicle
may tip or roll, reduce your risk of injury:
• Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or hand holds and brace yourself.
• Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason.
This vehicle is not designed to carry unrestrained pets. An unrestrained pet
can be thrown about and injure riders, even during normal operation. When
transporting pets, use a pet crate suitable for off-road use that is secured to the
vehicle.
Fuels such as gasoline can be extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death, never carry fuel or other flammable liquids on this
vehicle. Rollovers, crashes, rough riding, or changes in elevation or temperature
may lead to fuel spilling or vapor release from portable containers. Hot vehicle
parts can cause fires, even after the engine has been turned off.
Never exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight
capacity (including riders, cargo, and accessories) is 740 lbs. (336 kg) total. The
cargo box can support up to 300 lbs. (136 kg) of that total. When more rider
weight is added, cargo weight may need to be eliminated to stay under the 740
lb. (336 kg) limit. Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly will cause
changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an
accident.
Secure cargo in the cargo box as far forward, centered and as low as
possible. When cargo cannot be positioned and secured in this way, operate
with extra caution. Unsecured cargo can strike and injure riders, affect vehicle
handling, and result in loss of control.
The weight of riders and cargo changes vehicle braking, handling, and
stability. To avoid loss of control, turn gradually, operate at slower speeds, and
avoid rougher or steeper terrain.
15
SAFETY

DRIVING GUIDELINES
Drive Responsibly. This vehicle has higher
ground clearance and other features to handle
rugged terrain. It can be overturned in situations
where some other vehicles may not. Abrupt
maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat,
open areas, can cause loss of control, rollovers,
severe injury or death. To avoid loss of control and
rollovers:
• Avoid abrupt maneuvers, sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never
do donuts.
• Slow down before entering turn.
• Avoid hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop.
High speed off-road operation
Driving off-road vehicles to test the limits of your skills or abilities can be very
dangerous to you, passengers, and bystanders. Basic skills for driving a car,
ATV, or other off-road vehicles do not equip drivers to safely attempt high speed
off-road operation. Develop your skill gradually through training, practice, and
experience with the various driving modes of this vehicle and the terrain in which
you are operating. Always do a low speed reconnaissance run (prerun) to
become aware of anything you may encounter.
High speed off-road operation can lead to loss of control, crashes, or hard
landings that can seriously injure occupants (even without rolling the vehicle or
damaging it).
If you plan on using the vehicle for high speed, off-road competition, additional
safety equipment may be necessary. Check the rules that apply to your
competition.
Do not go over jumps — going airborne can lead to serious injury or death.
Going airborne can cause loss of control, rollovers, or crashing into the ground
and may damage the vehicle. Even without crashing, landings can be hard
enough to cause any vehicle suspension to fully compress (e.g., bottom out).
Serious injuries, including spinal injuries, can occur even if riders are properly
harnessed, wearing helmets and the vehicle is not damaged and remains
upright.
You may encounter slopes, "jumps", or other terrain features that could send the
vehicle airborne, depending on your speed. These may be defectively designed,
poorly maintained, or not suitable for this vehicle. Slow down, use extra care,
and avoid going airborne. Never take this vehicle over jumps.
16
SAFETY

Watching someone else go over a jump or go airborne does not mean you can
safely do so. Polaris cannot determine whether any jump you may encounter is
appropriate for this vehicle. Any jump, even a small one, could be poorly
maintained, designed, or not suitable for this vehicle and may cause serious
injury or death.
Plan for hills, rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and terrain.
Proceed slowly and with extra care on unfamiliar terrain. Avoid paved surfaces.
Sudden changes in terrain such as holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder
ground, or other irregularities may cause loss of control or rollover. Give yourself
time to react to rocks, bumps, or holes that may be hard to see. Operating in
deep snow or tall grass may make it harder to see obstacles.
If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as a fallen tree or a ditch, stop the
vehicle in a safe place. Get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look from both
your approach side and exit side. If you are reasonably confident you can
continue safely, choose the path that will allow you to go straight over the
obstacle to minimize the vehicle tipping sideways. Go only fast enough to
maintain your momentum, but still give yourself plenty of time to react to
changes in conditions. If there is any question about your ability to maneuver
safely over the obstacle, you should turn around if the ground is flat and you
have the room, or back up until you find a less difficult path.
Abrupt application of the accelerator pedal can cause the tires to lose traction,
reducing control of the vehicle and increasing the possibility of an accident,
especially while on sloped terrain or while crossing obstacles such as rocks or
logs.
Avoid Operating on Public Roads (Paved or Otherwise). This vehicle does
not have highway safety features that on-road vehicles may have (air bags, anti-
lock brakes, stability control, etc.). If another vehicle collides with you, the
likelihood of a serious injury or death may be greater. Also, you may not be able
to avoid a crash or rollover if you make sudden or abrupt maneuvers such as
swerving or emergency braking.
While it may be legal locally to drive on some public roads in specific parts of the
country, your vehicle was not designed or certified as an on-road motor vehicle.
Polaris does not support public road use except as may be necessary to cross-
roads designated for connecting off highway vehicle trail segments. If you must
drive on-road, drive slowly and defensively. Your vehicle may lack the features
needed to comply with state or local laws that permit limited public road use.
Modifications you make to your vehicle to meet these requirements may void the
vehicle warranty. In addition, refer to tire manufacturer’s instructions or
limitations for on-road operation, including speed limits and premature tire wear.
17
SAFETY

Improperly operating on hills can cause loss of control, rollover, or
accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. Use extra care when
operating on hills. Plan for rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and
terrain.
Driving up hills
Check the terrain before ascending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or
loose. Engage all-wheel drive for hills. Drive straight uphill, keeping speed and
throttle steady. Avoid steep hills which can cause the vehicle to overturn.
Recovering from stalling on a hill
If the vehicle loses forward speed, apply the brakes gradually and stop. Do not
attempt to turn the vehicle around. Instead, shift to reverse and allow the vehicle
to slowly roll straight downhill. Apply light brake pressure to control speed.
Overtopping a hill
Slow down when you reach the crest of a hill. Never blindly go over the crest of a
hill or a drop off at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or
person could be on the other side of the hill.
Driving down hills
Check the terrain before descending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or
loose. Engage all-wheel drive and proceed slowly, applying the brakes lightly.
Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral or if the engine is turned off.
Avoid side hilling (riding across slopes)
If unavoidable, proceed slowly and with extra caution. Avoid obstacles and
changes in terrain that could cause the vehicle to tip or slide. If it feels like the
vehicle begins to tip or slide, immediately turn downhill.
Riding near wooded areas or brush
Use extra caution when operating near trees, particularly when operating on
narrow trails. Tree branches or brush can be driven into the cab striking or
stabbing occupants.
