WARNING
- To avoid serious
injury or death, read and understand all warnings and the Owner's
Manual before operation. If manual is missing,
contact a POLARIS dealer for a replacement.
- This vehicle is capable
of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven terrain can cause loss of
control. Reduce speed and use extreme
caution when operating in unfamiliar terrain.
- Excessive speed,
especially at night or with limited visibility, can result in insufficient
time for you to react to terrain
changes, to avoid unexpected obstacles,
or to stop safely.
- Never consume alcohol
or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
- 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.
- Always wear an approved
helmet, eye protection, and adequate clothing while operating this
vehicle.
- This vehicle is designed
for adult use only. Check local laws for age requirements.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeated stops from
high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of braking ability.
- Parking brake may
relax when used for long periods. Do not leave brake engaged for more
than five minutes.
- Before starting engine,
check throttle, brake, and steering for proper operation. Make sure
hood and side panels are latched.
Be seated and in position to control the
vehicle.
