INTRODUCTION
Failure to heed the warnings and safety precautions contained in this manual can result in severe injury
or death. Your POLARIS vehicle is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate. This vehicle handles
differently than cars, trucks or other off-road vehicles. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even
during routine maneuvers like turning, or driving on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take proper
precautions.
• Read this owner’s manual and review the safety DVD that came with your vehicle. A free extra copy
of the DVD can be obtained by contacting your local POLARIS dealer. Understand all safety
warnings, precautions and operating procedures before operating the vehicle. Keep this manual with
the vehicle.
• Never operate this vehicle without proper instruction. Take an authorized training course.
• This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. You MUST be at least age 16 and have a valid driver’s
license to operate this vehicle.
• No person under the age of 12 may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. All riders must be able to sit
with backs against the seat, both feet flat on the floor and both hands on the steering wheel (if
driving) or on a passenger hand hold.
• Never permit a guest to operate this vehicle unless the guest has read this manual and all product
labels.
• Always use the cab nets (or doors) while riding in this vehicle. Always keep hands, feet and all other
body parts inside the vehicle at all times.
• Always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants and over-the-ankle
boots.
• Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol, as these conditions impair judgment and reduce
operator reaction time.
Safety Training
Safety training is a top priority for POLARIS. POLARIS strongly encourages you and any
family members who will be riding this vehicle to take a training course.
For more information about safety, contact an authorized POLARIS dealer or visit the
POLARIS web site at www.polaris.com.
Your POLARIS vehicle is considered an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws
and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area.
We strongly advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance program outlined in
your owner's manual. This preventive maintenance program is designed to ensure that all
critical components on your vehicle are thoroughly inspected at specific intervals.
WARNING

SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
The driver and all passengers must wear helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt,
long pants, over-the-ankle boots and seat belt at all times. Protective gear reduces the chance
of injury.
Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding this POLARIS vehicle,
always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards.
Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania bear the ECE 22.05
label. The ECE mark consists of a circle surrounding the letter E, fol-
lowed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted

Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding this
POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof helmet face
shield. POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept
clean.
Gloves
Wear gloves for comfort and for protection from sun, cold weather and other elements.
Boots
Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots for support and protection. Never ride a POLARIS vehicle
with bare feet or sandals.
Clothing
Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.
Rider Comfort
Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can ele-
vate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most frequently
when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high
load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof and/or
cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to
heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by varying
speeds to increase airflow.

SAFETY
Safety Labels and Locations
Warning labels have been placed on the vehicle for your protection. Read and follow the
instructions of the labels on the vehicle carefully. If any of the labels depicted in this manual
differ from the labels on your vehicle, always read and follow the instructions of the labels
on the vehicle.
If any label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your POLARIS dealer to purchase a

• Always follow the proper procedures outlined in this manual for traveling downhill and
for braking on hills. See page 42. Check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
Never travel downhill at high speed. Avoid going downhill at an angle, which would cause
the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight down the hill where possible.
• 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 the proper procedures
outlined in this manual when operating over obstacles. See page 41.
