Backing Up
1. Avoid backing up on steep inclines.
2. Always back slowly.
3. When in reverse, apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
4. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
5. Never open the throttle suddenly while backing.
6. Never activate override button while throttle is open. Loss of
control may result.
NOTE: Most Polaris ATVs are equipped with a reverse speed limit-
er. The override button should be used with caution as rearward
vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open
throttle. Only open the throttle enough to maintain a desired
speed. Manual shift models (Xpedition) do not have a reverse
speed limiter or an override.
Opening the throttle more than required may cause excessive
fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or
engine damage.
