OPERATION WARNING
The operation warning label is located on the console.
WARNING
• To avoid serious injury or death, read and understand all warnings and the
Owner's Manual before operation. If manual is missing, contact a POLARIS
dealer for a replacement.
• This vehicle is capable of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven terrain can
cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme caution when operating
in unfamiliar terrain.
• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can result in
insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid unexpected
obstacles, or to stop safely.
• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located on the top
of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then pull the brake lever
to stop.
• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate clothing
while operating this vehicle.
• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age
requirements.
• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only) reduce speed
and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger reduces your
ability to control the vehicle.
• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, steering
and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and allow extra space
to turn or stop.
• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you should have a
proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See Owner's Manual for proper
use of traction products.
• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of braking
ability.
• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave brake
engaged for more than five minutes.
• Before starting engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper
operation. Make sure hood and side panels are latched. Be seated and in
position to control the vehicle.
Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when refueling.
