WARNING! Improperly installed wheels can adversely affect tire wear and vehicle handling, which can
result in serious injury or death. Always ensure that all nuts are torqued to specification. Do not service
axle nuts that have a cotter pin installed. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

Fuses
If the engine stops or will not start, or if you experience other electrical failures, a fuse may
need replacement. Locate and correct any short circuits that may have caused the blown fuse,
then replace the fuse. Raise the driver's seat to access the fuses. Spare fuses are provided in
the fuse box. The power steering fuse (if equipped) is located on the power steering wiring
harness near the fuse box.
If you suspect that a fuse or relay may not be working properly, please see your POLARIS
dealer.
