Safety
• Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this manual. Prac-
tice turning at low speeds before attempt-
ing to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at
excessive speed.
• Always have the ATV checked by an
authorized Polaris dealer if it has been
involved in an accident.
• Never operate the ATV on hills too steep
for the ATV or for your abilities. Practice
on smaller hills before attempting larger
hills.
• Always follow proper procedures for
climbing hills as described in this manual.
Check the terrain carefully before you
start up any hill. Never climb hills with
excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
Shift your weight forward. Never open
the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear
changes. Never go over the top of any hill
at high speed.
• Always follow proper procedures for
going down hills and for braking on hills
as described in this manual. Check the
terrain carefully before you start down
any hill. Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid
going down a hill at an angle which
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
