THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
This vehicle handles differently from other vehicles including motor-
cycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during rou-
tine maneuvers such as turning and driving on hills or over obstacles, if you
fail to take proper precautions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:
Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures
described.
Never allow anyone without a valid driver’s license to operate this vehicle.
Minimum age recommendation for passengers is five years old. Passengers
under five years of age require special restraints which are not available with this
vehicle. Driver and passenger should wear their seatbelts at all times.
Never permit a guest to operate this vehicle unless the guest has read this
manual and all product labels.
To reduce tipover risk, be especially careful when encountering obstacles and
slopes, when braking on hills or during turns.
Always fasten your seatbelts securely around you.
This vehicle is for off road use only. Never operate on public roads as severe
injury or death may occur. Always avoid paved surfaces.
Helmets are recommended whenever driving this vehicle in an aggressive man-
ner. Eye protection is recommended at all times.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Always travel at a speed which is proper
for the terrain, visibility and operating conditions, and your experience.
Never attempt wheelies, jumps or other stunts.
Always inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operat-
ing condition. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and
schedules described in this manual.
Always keep both hands on the steering wheel and both feet on the floorboards
of the vehicle during operation.
Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Al-
ways be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle.
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this manual. Prac-
tice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn
at excessive speed.
Always have this vehicle checked by an authorized Polaris dealer if it has been
involved in an accident.
Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual.
Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with ex-
cessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the
throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of any
hill at high speed.

Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any
hill. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle
which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the
hill where possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in
this manual. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Never at-
tempt to turn the vehicle around on any hill until you have mastered the turning
technique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of
a steep hill if possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill.
To avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual.
Dismount on the uphill side or to either side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the
vehicle around and remount, following the procedure described in this manual.
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
Always be careful of skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces, such as ice, go
slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
Never operate vehicle in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that specified
in this manual. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability.
Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them lightly several
times to let friction dry out the pads.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate
in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Avoid turning at
sharp angles in reverse.
Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual. Always maintain
proper tire pressure as described on page 83.
Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. Cargo should be proper-
ly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in
this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for brak-
ing.
Always wear the seat belts whenever the vehicle is operated. This will reduce
the severity of injury in case of a sudden stop or collision.
Always keep arms and legs inside of cab frame while the vehicle is in motion.
Always apply the parking brake before getting out of the vehicle. The parking
brake is located on the left side of the center console. Activate by pulling up on
the lever. Release by pressing the button on the end of the handle and lowering
the lever.
Always activate the foot pedal brake before releasing the park brake.
Always shut off the engine before refueling. Make sure the area is well venti-
lated and free of any source of flame or sparks. Gasoline is very flammable.

SAFETY WARNING AND OPERATION DECALS
Text found below
7077683
OPERATOR/LOAD DISTRIBUTION WARNINGS
VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL AND RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
MAKE STARTS, STOPS, TURNS AND DIRECTIONS CHANGES IN A SMOOTH
MANNER so as not to shift the load or overturn the vehicle.
THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL CONTROLS THE PRIMARY BRAKING for this ve-
hicle.
THE PARK/EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER will supply increased braking, but
should be used as an EMERGENCY OR PARKING BRAKE ONLY.
THE BOX DUMP LATCH MUST BE SECURELY LATCHED before loading and op-
erating. Unintentional box dumping will result if weight is placed in the rear of the
box and the latch is not secured.
NEVER OPERATE THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DUMP BOX IN THE RAISED
POSITION. The dump box could close unexpectedly while driving, severely injur-
ing the driver and passenger. The rear tires will catch the rear of the box, damaging
the vehicle and creating hazardous driving conditions.
THE VEHICLE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IS REDUCED WHEN CARRYING
LOADS. Reduce speeds and allow for greater stopping distances when operating
in a loaded or trailering condition.

5
SAFETY WARNING AND OPERATION DECALS
THE ABILITY TO STEER THIS MACHINE IS REDUCED WHEN OPERATING IN
A LOADED CONDITION on rough or hilly terrain. When climbing hills always hav-
ing the cargo in the rear box securely fastened and located as far forward in the box
as possible. Loaded vehicles will experience reduced steering and front brake ef-
fectiveness when operating on hills.
TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF VEHICLE TIP-OVER AND PERSONAL INJURY
always use D-1 Gear and reduced vehicle speeds when carrying heavy loads or
towing a loaded trailer.
Correct loading of this vehicle is necessary to maintain proper stability and operat-
ing characteristics. Overloading or incorrect positioning of the load effects the ve-
hicles turning, stopping distance and stability. Failure to follow loading require-
ments could cause severe injury or death. REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW
GREATER DISTANCE FOR BRAKING WHEN CARRYING CARGO.
MAXIMUM CARGO CAPACITY IS 1000 LBS. ON LEVEL TERRAIN. When oper-
ating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving
conditions. When operating at maximum cargo capacity, the cargo weight must be
evenly distributed in the rear box.
ALL LOADS MUST BE SECURED BEFORE MOVING VEHICLE. Unsecured
loads can create unstable operating conditions which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle.
LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW IN THE BOX AS POSSIBLE. Carrying
loads high in the box raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less
stable operating condition. When cargo loads are carried high in the box, the
weight of the loads must be reduced to maintain stable operating conditions.
OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When han-
dling off-centered loads which cannot be centered, securely fasten load and oper-
ate with extra caution.
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED when operating with loads extending over
the box sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing
the machine to overturn.

7
SAFETY WARNING AND OPERATION DECALS
 OPERATION ON HILLS IS DANGEROUS, especially when loaded. This
vehicle is designed for utility usage on moderate terrains. Turning, braking
and uneven terrain can induce rollovers especially if a maneuver is abrupt.
Under no circumstances should you climb, descend or traverse hills greater
than 15°∠. Vehicle stability is greatly reduced during operating on hills,
creating the possibility of vehicle rollover and serious injury, including death
or paralysis. Extreme caution should be used when operating this vehicle on
any side hill conditions. Effectiveness of brakes is significantly reduced on
hills. Some hills are too steep to safely stop or recover from an unsuccessful
climbing attempt. If vehicle slides backwards down hill, apply brakes with
gradual, even pressure and do not apply the throttle. Sudden or aggressive
application of brakes may cause loss of control.
 REDUCE SPEED when operating this vehicle on rough or hilly terrain, or
when carrying cargo.
 OFF-ROAD USE ONLY. Never operate on public roads as severe injury or
death may occur - this vehicle is not built for legal operation of public roads.
Always avoid paved surfaces.
 NEVER OPERATE THIS VEHICLE AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. You in-
crease your risk of losing control if you operate this vehicle at speeds too fast
for the terrain, visibility conditions, or your experience.
 HELMETS ARE RECOMMENDED WHENEVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE
IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER. Eye protection is recommended at all
times. (See Owner’s Manual)
 REVERSE OPERATION CAN BE DANGEROUS. Steering control becomes
difficult. When backing up, proceed slowly and apply brakes carefully;
aggressive braking may result in loss of control. Avoid backing downhill.
avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
 STOPPING DISTANCE MAY INCREASE WITH WET BRAKES OR ON
WET SURFACES.
 VEHICLE DESIGNED MAINLY FOR WARM WEATHER USE. Throttle link-
age and brakes may stick if operated in freezing weather, causing loss of
control. Dirt mud, water or other contaminants can also affect operation of
controls. Check both frequently.
 High speeds, jumps and stunts are dangerous and could result in loss of
control and other accidents.
 NEVER PERMIT A GUEST TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE unless the guest
has read the Owner’s Manual and all labels.
 NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS before or while operating the vehicle.
They slow reaction time and impair judgement.
 SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instruc-
tions.
CAUTION: Do not shift while vehicle is moving.
