SAFETY
Avoid Collisions With Other Vehicles
When following another vehicle or operating in the same area as others, keep a
safe distance to avoid collisions. Allow extra space when sight distances are
limited by dust, snow, curves, hills, or other conditions. Plan ahead to avoid
having to swerve or leave the trail to avoid a collision.
On trails, be prepared to make space for other vehicles to pass. If you need to
stop on a trail, move your vehicle to the edge of the path to allow others to pass
safely.
Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
Never apply the brakes during a skid.
If the vehicle begins to slide downhill or you feel it may tip, turn downhill
immediately and stop. Maneuver slowly and carefully until you can drive straight
downhill.
Do not continue driving if your vehicle may be damaged or if you were in a
crash or rollover.
Operating the vehicle while damaged or after a crash or rollover can cause loss
of control, rollover, or accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. If you
cannot safely transport the vehicle on your own, contact a recovery and towing
service.
After any crash, rollover, or other accident, have a POLARIS dealer inspect the
vehicle for possible damage, including seat belts, ROPS, brakes, suspension,
and steering systems.
Be prepared in case your vehicle becomes damaged or disabled, especially in
remote areas. Consider in advance how to get help and stay safe until it arrives
whenever you ride.
There is a recovery tow loop at the front and back of the vehicle to attach a
winch or strap.
Use these loops to recover this vehicle if it is stuck, to pull it onto a tow truck,
trailer, or to use this vehicle to recover another vehicle. These loops are for
emergency recovery only and are not for towing vehicles to another location.
Improper recovery may lead to loss of control or vehicle damage. Only attach
straps to specified locations. Do not attach to any other point on the vehicle.
Only recover a vehicle of equal or lesser size and weight. When recovering a
disabled vehicle, place the disabled vehicle's transmission in neutral. Do not
move a disabled vehicle faster than 16 km/h.
