SAFETY

Safety Labels and Locations

Operation Warning

The operation warning label is also located

on the console.

• To avoid serious injury or death, read

and understand all warnings and the

Owner's Manual before operation. If

manual is missing, contact a Polaris

dealer for a replacement.

• This vehicle is capable of high

speeds. Buried objects or uneven ter-

rain can cause loss of control.

Reduce speed and use extreme cau-

tion when operating in unfamiliar ter-

rain.

• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can

result in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to

avoid unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.

• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehi-

cle.

• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located

on the top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then

pull the brake lever to stop.

• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate

clothing while operating this vehicle.

• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age

requirements.

• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only)

reduce speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A

passenger reduces your ability to control the vehicle.

• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads,

steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and

allow extra space to turn or stop.

• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you

should have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See

Owner's Manual for proper use of traction products.

• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss

of braking ability.

• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave

brake engaged for more than five minutes.

• Before starting engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper

operation. Make sure hood and side panels are latched. Be seated

and in position to control the vehicle.

Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when

refueling.
