SAFETY
OPERATING WITH A LOAD ON THE VEHICLE
The weight of the cargo, operator, and passengers impacts vehicle operation
and stability. For your safety and the safety of others, carefully consider how
your vehicle is loaded and how to safely operate the vehicle. Follow the
instructions in this manual for loading, tire pressure, gear selection and speed.
• Do not exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle's maximum weight
capacity is listed in the specifications section of this manual and on a label on
the vehicle. When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle,
include the weight of the operator, passengers, accessories, loads in the rack
or box and the load on the trailer tongue. The combined weight of these items
must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
• The recommended tire pressures are listed in the specifications section of this
manual and on a label on the vehicle.
Always follow these guidelines:
UNDER ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS:
Operator and/or cargo exceeds half the
maximum weight capacity

CAB NETS (IF EQUIPPED)
Riding in this vehicle without using the cab nets (or doors, if equipped) increases
the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Cab nets
(or doors) must be used by both operator and passengers at all times. Make
sure all latches are secure before operating the vehicle.
Always inspect cab nets and latches for tightness, wear and damage before
each use of the vehicle. Use the strap adjusters to tighten any loose straps.
Promptly replace worn or damaged cab nets and latches with new cab nets and
latches. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
CAB DOORS (IF EQUIPPED)
Riding in this vehicle without closed and latched cab doors increases the risk of
serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Always make sure
all cab doors are closed and latched while riding in this vehicle. Cab doors are
NOT intended to be used as arm rests. Always keep hands and feet inside the
