Trail Etiquette - Polaris Sportsman 500 HO Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Know Your Riding Area/Tread Lightly
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the opera-
tion of this off-road vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in
which you ride. Find out where the designated riding areas are by con-
tacting your Polaris dealer, a local riding club or local officials.
Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road
enthusiast, you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor
example) for others to follow. Tread lightly. Operate with respect for the
terrain, avoid littering, and always stay on the designated trails.

Trail Etiquette

Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance
between your vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area.
Communicate to oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehi-
cles in your group. When stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the
trail as far as possible to allow others to pass safely.
