OPERATION

BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN

Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.

PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower
speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.

KNOW YOUR RIDING AREA/TREAD LIGHTLY

Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this
vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle.
Find out where the designated riding areas are by contacting 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 vehicles in your group. When
stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the trail as far as possible to allow
others to pass safely.
