OPERATION

Driving Safely

Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions
when operating in reverse:

1. Always check for

obstacles or people
behind the vehicle.

2. Always avoid backing

downhill.

3. Back slowly.

4. Apply the brakes

lightly for stopping.

5. Avoid turning at sharp

angles.

6. Never open the throttle suddenly.

NOTE:

Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. Use the

override button with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly

increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle.

WARNING

Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in serious injury

or death. Before shifting into reverse, always check for obstacles or people

behind the vehicle. When it's safe to proceed, back slowly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required for vehicle

movement. Use with caution.
Avoid backing on inclines, and avoid turning at sharp angles.

CAUTION

Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may cause fuel to

build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.

Operate the throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed
