SAFETY
• Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual.
Check the terrain carefully before attempting to climb a hill. Never climb hills
with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Never apply throttle suddenly.
Never make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of a hill at high
speed.
• Always follow the proper procedures outlined in this manual for traveling
downhill and for braking on hills. Check the terrain carefully before
descending a hill. Never travel downhill at high speed. Avoid going downhill at
an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel
straight down the hill where possible.
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
the proper procedures outlined in this manual when operating over obstacles.
• Always be careful of skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces such as ice,
travel slowly and exercise caution to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
• Never operate your vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water deeper than that
specified in this manual. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them lightly several times
to let friction dry out the pads.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind your vehicle when
operating in reverse. When it's safe to proceed in reverse, move slowly. Avoid
turning at sharp angles in reverse.
• Always use the proper size and type of tires specified in this manual. Always
maintain proper tire pressure as specified on safety labels.
• Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of non-
POLARIS approved accessories.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. Cargo should be
properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow the
instructions in this manual for hauling cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow a greater
distance for braking.
• Always place the transmission in PARK before getting out of the vehicle.
• Always engage the park brake when leaving the vehicle unattended.
• Always stop the engine before refueling. Remove flammable material
containers from the box before filling them with fuel. Make sure the refueling
area is well ventilated and free of any source of flame or sparks. Gasoline is
extremely flammable.
• Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent
unauthorized use by someone under the age of 16 or without a driver's
license and proper training, or accidental starting.
