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 vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first 2 full tanks of gasoline. 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.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.
CVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)
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 CVT intake and outlet duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
KNOW YOUR RIDING AREA/TREAD LIGHTLY®
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle. Find out where the designated riding areas are by contacting your POLARIS dealer, a local riding club, or local officials.

MAINTENANCE
DRIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Lubricate the drive chain with Polaris chain spray lube or an approved chain lube at the interval specified in the Maintenance Schedule, see page 87. Lubricate more often under severe use, such as in dirty or wet conditions.
IMPORTANT
Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or solvents can cause
premature wear and chain failure. Do not use a high pressure washer or
gasoline to clean the drive chain. Operating the vehicle with improper rear
drive chain deflection can result in severe damage to the transmission and
drive components. Always make sure the chain adjusted within the stated
specifications.
1. Remove cap from rear of the cargo area.
2. Loosen upper nut chain tensioner bracket.
