WARNING

Failure to heed the warnings and safety precautions contained in this manual can result in severe injury or death. Your POLARIS vehicle is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate. This vehicle handles differently than cars, trucks or other off-road vehicles. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers like turning, or driving on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.

• Read this owner’s manual and review the safety DVD that came with your vehicle. A free extra copy of the DVD can be obtained by contacting your local POLARIS dealer. Understand all safety warnings, precautions and operating procedures before operating the vehicle. Keep this manual with the vehicle.

• This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. You MUST be at least age 16 and have a valid driver’s license to operate this vehicle.

• No person under the age of 12 may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. All riders must be able to sit with backs against the seat, both feet flat on the floor and both hands on the steering wheel (if driving) or on a passenger hand hold.

• Always use the cab nets (or doors) while riding in this vehicle. Always keep hands, feet and all other body parts inside the vehicle at all times.

• Always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants and over-the-ankle boots.

• Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol, as these conditions impair judgment and reduce operator reaction time.

• Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on pages 52-53. Never allow a guest to operate this vehicle until the guest has completed the New Operator Driving Procedures.

European Vibration and Noise

The driver-perceived noise and hand/arm and whole body vibration levels of this machinery is measured per prEN 15997.

The operating conditions of the machinery during testing: The vehicles were in like-new condition. The environment was controlled as

indicated by the test procedure(s). The uncertainty of vibration exposure measurement is dependent on many

factors, including:

• Instrument and calibration uncertainty

• Variations in the machine such as wear of components

• Variation of machine operators such as experience or physique

• Ability of the worker to reproduce typical work during measurements

• Environmental factors such as ambient noise or temperature

Helmet

W earing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury . Whenever riding this POLARIS vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards.

Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label.

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

Safe Riding Gear

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.

Gloves

Wear gloves for comfort and for protection from sun, cold weather and other elements.

Boots

Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots for support and protection. Never ride a POLARIS vehicle with bare feet or sandals.

Clothing

Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.

Rider Comfort

Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger 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.

Safety Warnings

Equipment Modifications

Your POLARIS vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as directed. Modifications to your vehicle 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 vehicle may become less stable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds.

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-POLARISapproved 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.
