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.
