This vehicle is for off road use only. Never operate on public roads (unless marked for off-road use). Always avoid paved surfaces.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Always travel at a speed proper for the terrain, visibility and operating conditions, and your experience.
Never attempt jumps or other stunts.
Always inspect the vehicle before each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.
Always follow the inspection procedures described in this manual.
Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Be alert to changing terrain.
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
Always follow proper procedures for turning. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Never turn at excessive speeds.
Always have this vehicle checked by an authorized POLARIS dealer if it has been involved in an accident.
Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
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. Failure to adhere to either may impact vehicle stability, driveline durability, or general vehicle handling.
Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of non-POLARIS approved accessories.
Always re-install plastics and heat shields after vehicle is serviced.
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 engage the park brake (if equipped) when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always stop the engine before refueling. Make sure the refueling area is well ventilated and free of any source of flame or sparks.
