SAFETY
Safety Decals and Locations
S To avoid serious injury or
death, read and understand all
warnings and the Owner's
Manual before operation. If the
manual is missing, contact a
Polaris dealer for a replace-
ment.
S This vehicle is capable of high
speeds. Buried objects or un-
even terrain can cause loss of
control. Reduce speed and
use extreme caution when operating in unfamiliar terrain.
S Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can re-
sult in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid
unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.
S Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this ve-
hicle.
S In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located
on the top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then
pull the brake lever to stop.
S Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate
clothing while operating this vehicle.
S This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age
requirements.
S When operating with a passenger (on approved models only) reduce
speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger
reduces your ability to control the vehicle.
S When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads,
steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and
allow extra space to turn or stop.
S To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you
should have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See
Owner's Manual for proper use of traction products.
S Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of
braking ability.
S Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave
brake engaged for more than five minutes.
S Before starting engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper
operation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in position to
control the vehicle.
Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when refueling.
