operating condition. Always follow the inspection procedures
described in this manual.
• Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfa-
miliar terrain. Be alert to changing terrain.
• Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.

Never open the throttle suddenly or 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 trav-
eling 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.

• 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.
• Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of
accessories.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. Cargo should

trailer. Allow a greater distance for braking.
• Always engage the park brake before getting out of the vehicle. See
page 29.
• Always apply the brakes before engaging or releasing the park brake.
• 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. See page 17 for fuel safety
warnings.
• Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent unauthorized use or accidental starting.

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.

overturn. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Avoid exhibition
driving.
Operating in Unfamiliar Terrain
Failure to use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain could result in
an accident or overturn. Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes that could cause loss of control or overturn.
