Safety Training

ATV safety training is a top priority for Polaris. Polaris strongly encourages you and any family members who will be riding the ATV to take a training course.

If you purchased a new Polaris ATV in the United States, your dealer provided instruction to you about the authorized ATV RiderCourse that is available to you and your eligible family members. This training is included in the purchase price of your ATV. You were also provided with printed materials that explain safe operating procedures. You should review this information on a regular basis.

If you purchased a used Polaris ATV in the United States, you can enroll

in the ATV RiderCourse

for a fee. Call ATV Enrollment Express at

(800) 887-2887 or visit www.atvsafety.org. If you purchased a Polaris ATV outside the United States, please contact

your dealer or local law enforcement agencies for information about safety training.

A Polaris ATV is 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.
