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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
2. Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt. Secure the cab doors (if
equipped).
3. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Apply the brakes. Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the engine.
5. Turn the ignition key past the ON/RUN position to START. Engage the starter
for a maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the engine starts.
6. If the engine does not start within five seconds, return the ignition switch to
the OFF position and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the
engine starts.
7. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up until the
engine idles smoothly.
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.
