FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Park Brake Lever

To help prevent the vehicle from rolling, engage the park brake when

parking the vehicle. When the park brake is fully engaged and the park

brake indicator is illuminated, engine speed is limited to 1300 RPM in

all gears, including neutral. If throttle is applied, this limiting feature

prevents operation, which protects the park brake pads from excessive

wear.

NOTE:

This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or

switch (under the hood) malfunctions or becomes disconnected, or if

the switch has moved. Check for disconnection, then see your dealer

promptly if this feature fails to operate properly.

Always apply the service brakes

before engaging or releasing the

park brake.
1. Apply the brakes.
2. Pull the park brake lever

downward as far as possible.

3. To release the park brake,

apply the brakes. Press the

park brake release inward and

move the lever upward as far

as possible.

When the park brake is fully engaged and the park brake indicator is

illuminated, engine speed is limited to 1300 RPM in all gears, including

neutral. If throttle is applied, this limiting feature prevents operation,

which protects the park brake pads from excessive wear.
Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of

operation and every 100 hours thereafter to ensure proper cable tension.

See page 90.

NOTE:

This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or

switch (under the dash) malfunctions or becomes disconnected, or if

the switch has moved. Check for disconnection, then see your Polaris

service technician promptly if this feature fails to operate properly.

WARNING

Operating the vehicle while the park brake is engaged could cause loss of

control and result in serious injury or death. Always disengage the park brake

before operating the vehicle.
