SAFETY
Equipment Modifications
Your POLARIS vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used
as directed. Modifications to your vehicle may negatively impact vehi-
cle 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 on a POLARIS vehicle any equipment that may increase
the speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to
the vehicle for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equip-
ment of the vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the
risk of bodily injury.
The warranty on your POLARIS vehicle is terminated if any equipment
has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to
the vehicle, that increase its speed or power.
The addition of certain accessories may change the handling character-
istics of the vehicle. Use only POLARIS-approved accessories, and
familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.

The vehicles were in like-new condition. The environment was con-
trolled 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
