Operator Safety

Equipment Modifications

We are concerned for the safety of our customers and for the general

public. Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers do not install

on a Polaris RANGER any equipment that may increase the speed or

power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for

these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment of the vehi-

cle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily

injury.
The warranty on your Polaris RANGER is terminated if any equipment

has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to

the vehicle, that increase its speed or power.

NOTE:

The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mow-

ers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling

characteristics of the vehicle. Use only Polaris-approved accessories,

and familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.

WARNING

Make sure your RANGER is in excellent operating condition at all times. We

strongly recommend that the operator check all safety components before

each ride.
Polaris RANGERs are designed to provide safe operation when used as

directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from operation

with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. The

RANGER may become aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than

those for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds.

Modifications may also create a safety hazard and lead to bodily injury.
Do not make any modifications to your RANGER.
