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 information about the authorized ATV RiderCourse
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.

SAFETY

SAFE RIDING GEAR

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

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.

components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust
system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass, to
avoid debris build-up around the exhaust system.

UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE VEHICLE

Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by
someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper
training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition
key when the vehicle is not in use.

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 POLARIS limited 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.
