Driving In Reverse - Polaris Hawkeye 300 4X4 Owner's Manual

Driving Safely

Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions
when operating in reverse:
1. Always check for
obstacles or people
behind the vehicle.
2. Always avoid backing
downhill.
3. Back slowly.
4. Apply the brakes
lightly for stopping.
5. Avoid turning at sharp
angles.
6. Never open the throttle suddenly.
Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in serious injury
or death. Before shifting into reverse, always check for obstacles or people
behind the vehicle. When it's safe to proceed, back slowly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required for vehicle
movement. Use with caution.
Avoid backing on inclines, and avoid turning at sharp angles.
NOTE:
Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. Use the
override button with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly
increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle.
Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may cause fuel to
build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.
Operate the throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed.
