OPERATION

Driving with a Passenger

1. Make sure the passenger is at least

12 years of age and is tall enough to

comfortably reach the footrests and

grab handles.

NOTE: Footwell risers should be installed

for smaller passengers. Please

see your Polaris dealer about

installing or purchasing a footwell

riser kit.

2. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear, includ-

ing an approved helmet with a rigid chin guard. See page 12.

3. Perform the pre-ride

inspection. See page 62.

4. Convert the seat for 2-up

riding. See page 50.

Make sure the passenger

seat lock-out is function-

ing properly.

5. Lock the parking brake.
6. Mount the vehicle from

the left side. After the

operator is seated, the

passenger should mount

the vehicle from the left

side. Always make sure

the brake is engaged to

ensure the vehicle

remains motionless whenever a passenger mounts or dismounts.

7. Allow a passenger to ride only in the approved passenger seat.
8. Do not carry more than one passenger.
9. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on

board. Allow more time and distance for braking.
