Equipment Modifications
We strongly recommend that consumers do not install on a Polaris
RANGER 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 RANGER 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.
The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Use only Polaris-approved accessories, and
familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Park Brake Lever
To help prevent the vehicle from rolling, engage the park brake when
parking the vehicle. When the park brake is fully engaged and the park
brake indicator is illuminated, engine speed is limited to 1300 RPM in
all gears, except neutral. If throttle is applied, this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects the park brake pads from excessive
wear.
Tip: This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or switch
(under the hood) malfunctions or becomes disconnected, or if the switch
has moved. Check for disconnection, then see your dealer promptly if this
feature fails to operate properly.
Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter to ensure proper cable tension.
See page 80.
Always apply the service brakes
before engaging or releasing the
park brake.
1. Apply the brakes.
2. Pull the park brake lever
downward as far as possible.
3. To release the park brake,
apply the brakes. Press the
park brake release inward and
move the lever upward as far
as possible.
WARNING! Operating the vehicle while the park brake is engaged could cause
loss of control and result in serious injury or death. Always disengage the park
brake before operating the vehicle.
