SAFETY TRAINING

Safety training is a top priority for POLARIS. POLARIS strongly encourages you
and any family members who will be riding this vehicle to take a training course

ROHVA® (Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association®) provides both an
online safety e-course and a hands-on safety course. To access this valuable
training, visit www.rohva.org.

Your POLARIS vehicle is considered an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself
with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your
area.

We strongly advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance
program outlined in your owner's manual. This preventive maintenance program
is designed to ensure that all critical components on your vehicle are thoroughly
inspected at specific intervals.

For more information about recreational off-road vehicle safety in the
United States, visit www.rohva.org or call POLARIS at 1-800-342-3764.

SAFE RIDING GEAR

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants,
over-the-ankle boots and seat belt at all times. Protective gear reduces the
chance of injury.

11

SAFETY

RIDER COMFORT

Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust
system can elevate temperatures in the rider cab area. The condition occurs
most frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures
at low speeds and/or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The
use of certain windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to this
condition by restricting airflow.

Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can
be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and
by varying speeds to increase airflow.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label.

12

SAFETY

Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania
bear the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists
of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the
distinguishing number of the country which has
granted approval. The approval number and serial
number will also be displayed on the label.

EYE PROTECTION

Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding
this POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof
helmet face shield. POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or
CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept clean.

Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.

22

SAFETY

• 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.

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.

• Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of non­POLARIS approved accessories.

• 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 place the transmission in PARK before getting out of the vehicle.

• Always engage the park brake when leaving the vehicle unattended.

• Always stop the engine before refueling. Remove flammable material
containers from the box before filling them with fuel. Make sure the refueling
area is well ventilated and free of any source of flame or sparks. Gasoline is
extremely flammable.

• Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent
unauthorized use by someone under the age of 16 or without a driver’s
license and proper training, or accidental starting.

23

SAFETY

EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS

Do not install any non-POLARIS approved accessory or modify the vehicle for
the purpose of increasing speed or power. Any modifications or installation of
non-POLARIS approved accessories could create a substantial safety hazard
and increase the risk of bodily injury.

The warranty on your POLARIS vehicle will be terminated if any non-POLARIS
approved equipment and/or modifications have been added to the vehicle that
increase 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.

before operating increases the risk of an accident. Always perform the Pre-

Ride Inspection outlined in the Operation chapter before each use of your

vehicle to make sure it's in safe operating condition. Always follow the

inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this

owner’s manual. See the Periodic Maintenance section of the Maintenance

chapter.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,

accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and

understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD

The break-in period for your new RANGER is the first 25 hours of operation, or
the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of fuel. No single action on your
part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new
engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine.
Perform the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE

Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage close-

fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high

speeds during the first 3 hours of use.

67

OPERATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN

1. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel.

2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil
level in the normal (safe) operating range.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize
yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the
daily pre-ride inspection checklist.

6. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours.

7. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

8. Pull only light loads.

PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)

Always break in the clutches and drive belt of new vehicles, as well as after a
belt replacement.

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower
speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle is in safe operating condition before
operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the vehicle before
each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.

synthetic rope. The term “winch cable” will be used for either unless noted
otherwise.

WINCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead
and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle.
See the Shock Loading section on page 94.

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear
of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not
being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped
around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped
cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

10.Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the
vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the
vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle
to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever possible.

85

WINCH GUIDE

12.If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

a. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack” or

accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one
end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.

b. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to

feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13.Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching
vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14.Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated
capacity.

15.The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more
than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and
permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

16.Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.

17.Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy
gloves.

18.Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.

19.Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.

20.Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

21.Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.

86

WINCH GUIDE

22.Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch
components.

23.Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to
prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.

24.Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable to collect
debris that will shorten the life of the cable.

87

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH OPERATION

Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using your
winch.

TIP

Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually

need to use it in the field.

WARNING

Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow

all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Each winching situation is unique.

• Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do.

• Proceed slowly and deliberately.

• Never hurry or rush during winching.

• Always pay attention to your surroundings.

• You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working.

• Always remember that your winch is very powerful.

• There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to

deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.

1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any
signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use.

Pay particular attention to the first 3 ft (1 m) of winch cable if the winch is
being used (or has been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly.

Promptly replace any worn or damaged cable.

2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.

3. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/ or park mechanism to hold the
vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

88

4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING

Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.

• Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure
the load to the winch cable.

TIP

A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to

stretch.

89

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING

Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that

can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY

or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 94.

• Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch
cable and may result in winch cable failure.

WARNING

Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE

INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always replace

POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS

replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other

qualified dealer.

• If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the
winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce
the load on the fairlead.

• If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a tow
strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and
chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to Tread
Lightly® (treadlightly.org).

• Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch
cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

• Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always replace
damaged parts before using the winch.

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winch’s pulling
capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are
wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this
wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

90

WINCH GUIDE

8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure
safe winch use.

a. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure,

always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A damper can be heavy
jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the
energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb
can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.

b. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is

spooled out.

c. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the damper

can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable. Always
release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.

d. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible. Also,

never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable during
winch operation.

9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch
cable and may result in winch cable failure.

10.Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.

11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the
winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should
NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a
second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 94. For your
safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

a. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch

cable.

b. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s

centerline.

c. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s

frame following instructions in this manual.

d. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.

e. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.

f. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction

of winching.

g. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.

h. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the

vehicle.

i. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without

the help of the winch.

91

WINCH GUIDE

j. Detach the winch cable hook.

k. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the

instructions in this manual.

12.Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to
a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle
damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the
vehicle frame or hitch.

13.Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the
winching vehicle’s engine run while operating the winch to prevent the
battery from running low if winching for long periods.

14.The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more
than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and
permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

15.After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be
necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will
need an assistant to perform this task.

a. Release the clutch on the winch.

b. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.

c. Re-engage the winch clutch.

d. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lb (45 kg) of

tension using the hook strap.

e. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch

cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on
the drum.

f. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself

between lower layers of winch cable.

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH CABLE CARE

WARNING

Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE

INJURY.

For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with
genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS
dealer, or other qualified person.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts
including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or
replacement.

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked
winch cable.

A kinked winch cable made of wire rope
is shown at right. Even after being
“straightened out,” this cable has
already been permanently and severely
damaged. Promptly discontinue use of
a winch cable in this condition.

A kinked winch cable made of wire rope
that has been “straightened out” is
shown at right. Even though it may look
usable, the cable has been permanently
and severely damaged. It can no longer
transmit the load that it could prior to
kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a
winch cable in this condition.

A winch cable made of synthetic rope
should be inspected for signs of fraying.
Replace the cable if fraying is observed
(shown below). Promptly discontinue
use of a winch cable in this condition.
Also replace the winch cable if there are
fused or melted fibers. Such an area of
the synthetic rope will be stiff and
appear smooth or glazed. Promptly
discontinue use of a winch cable in this
condition.

93

WINCH GUIDE

SHOCK LOADING

WARNING

Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or “shock”

loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and

cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high

loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope
and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up
slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to
move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable
loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving
vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

WARNING

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts
extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the
motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a
winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow
speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the
vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an
accident.

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to
stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is
released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous.
Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation
vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage
to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced
by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always
remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock
loading.

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY

WARNING

Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE

INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this

manual.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch
cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections
to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable)
with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized
POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a
specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer
rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look
similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will
stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

WARNING

Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the

stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
