SAFETY

Equipment Modifications

Your Polaris vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as
directed. Do not modify this vehicle in a way that will alter the weight
distribution of the vehicle. This type of modification may negatively
impact vehicle stability.

Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with
any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. This

is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds.

Do not install on a Polaris vehicle any equipment that may increase the
speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the
vehicle for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment
of the vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of
bodily injury.

The warranty on your Polaris vehicle is terminated if any equipment has
been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to the
vehicle, that increase its speed or power or alter the weight distribution
of the vehicle.

Use only Polaris-approved accessories, and familiarize yourself with
their function and effect on the vehicle before operating.

WARNING

Batteries

Battery posts, terminals and related components contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Always
wash your hands after touching or handling the batteries.

Charging a damaged battery can result in serious injury. Never attempt to
charge a frozen or bulging battery. Discard the battery appropriately and install a
new battery.

Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion
and cause serious injury or death.

Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can
result from contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Antidote:

External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,

beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away.

Ventilate when charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes
when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Battery Cleaning

If cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush.
Wash with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water.
Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the
terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. Be careful not to
allow cleaning solution or tap water into the batteries.

Battery Charging

When not in use, park the vehicle indoors and connect the battery
charger. The vehicle’s charging receptacle is located on the body below
the driver’s seat base.

WARNING! Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can
result in an explosion. Hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and will rise and
accumulate at the ceiling. Always ensure a minimum of five (5) air changes per
hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area subject to a
flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and
furnaces. Do not smoke in the charging area.

1. Position the vehicle indoors

on a level surface. Make
sure the charging area is
well ventilated.

2. Open any door enclosures
or zippers.

3. Inspect charger cords and
receptacles for cracks,
loose connections and
frayed wiring. Replace any
damaged components
promptly.

4. Always connect the charger
to the vehicle first, then plug the charger into a wall receptacle.
Make sure each charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent over­loading.

Tip: After the batteries have fully recharged, the battery charger will automati-

cally cycle in and out of the trickle charge mode to maintain the charge.

5. When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the charger
from the wall receptacle first, then disconnect the charger from the
vehicle.

NOTE: Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for further details.

Battery Fluid

A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery
fluid level often.

Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to
a battery.

Batteries should
always be watered
after charging unless
plates are exposed
before charging. If
exposed, plates should
be covered by approxi­mately 1/8” of water.
Check level after
charge. The level
should be kept 1/4”
below the bottom of
the fill well in the cell
cover.

WARRANTY

LIMITED WARRANTY

Polaris Sales Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340, gives a TWO YEAR LIM­ITED WARRANTY on all components of your Polaris vehicle against defects in mate­rial or workmanship. This warranty covers the parts and labor charges for repair or
replacement of defective parts which are covered by this warranty . This warranty begins
on the date of purchase. This warranty is transferable to another consumer during the
warranty period through a Polaris dealer. The warranty coverage ends two years from
the date of purchase.

REGISTRATION

At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer
and submitted to Polaris within ten days. Upon receipt of this registration, Polaris will
record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the
purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be the warranty entitle­ment. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy,
please contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE
ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS.

Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring trou­ble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or without proper dealer set-up will
void your warranty coverage.

89

WARRANTY

LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES

The Polaris limited warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in
material or workmanship. This warranty does not cover accidental damage, normal wear
and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does not cover any vehicle that
has been altered structurally, modified, neglected, improperly maintained, used for rac­ing, or used for purposes other than for which it was manufactured, or for any damages
which occur during trailer transit or as a result of unauthorized service or the use of
unauthorized parts. In addition, this warranty does not cover physical damage to pain t or
finish, stress cracks, tearing or puncturing of upholstery material, corrosion, or defects in
parts, components or the vehicle due to fire, explosions or any other cause beyond
Polaris' control.

The Polaris limited warranty excludes any battery failures that are not caused by a defect
in material or workmanship. Warranty claims for battery replacements require specific
testing as outlined by the Polaris Warranty Department and the battery manufacturer
U.S. Battery prior to replacement. If the Polaris Warranty Department in conjunction
with U.S. Battery determines that the failure of the battery is ca used by a de fect in m ate­rial or workmanship, Polaris will assist with the processing of the warranty claim
through U.S. Battery for a replacement battery. This warranty does not cover the time
required to test and/or diagnose issues with the battery . Consequential damage caused by
defective batteries are excluded from this warranty. Use of any charger not recom­mended by Polaris and/or modifications to the vehicle will void any stated or implied
warranty on the battery. Battery warranty limitations include abuse or neglect such as
improper fluid levels, loose wiring, or rusted or corroded hardware; Lack of proper
maintenance; Damage caused by improper installation of the battery; Neglect, breakage,
freezing, fire, explosion, wreckage, the addition of any chemical, operation of the bat­tery in an overcharged condition, or the operation of the battery in an uncharged condi­tion (below half-charge – 1.200 specific gravity); and a battery char ged by systems other
than those supplied or recommended by Polaris.

This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, chemicals, or fuels that
are not compatible with the vehicle. The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty
shall be, at Polaris' exclusive option, repair or replacement of any defective materials, or
components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE
THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS
WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIP­TION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE
THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAM­AGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT
THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states
do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or
implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you if incon­sistent with controlling state law.

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ABOVE TWO
YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS
WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply

to you if inconsistent with controlling state law

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

If your vehicle requires warranty service, you must take it to a Polaris Servicing Dealer.
