OPERATION

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.

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.

NOTE: Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter.

The override button should be used with caution as rearward

vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide

open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to maintain a

desired speed.

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.
