OPERATION

Know Your Riding Area/Tread Lightly

Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the opera-

tion of this off-road vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in

which you ride. Find out where the designated riding areas are by con-

tacting your Polaris dealer, a local riding club or local officials.
Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road

enthusiast, you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor

example) for others to follow. Tread lightly. Operate with respect for the

terrain, avoid littering, and always stay on the designated trails.

Trail Etiquette

Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance

between your vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area.

Communicate to oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehi-

cles in your group. When stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the

trail as far as possible to allow others to pass safely.
