read and understand all warnings
and the Owner’s Manual before
operation. If the manual is miss-
ing, contact a Polaris dealer for a
replacement.
S
This vehicle is capable of high
speeds. Buried objects or un-
even terrain can cause loss of
control. Reduce speed and use
extreme caution when operating
in unfamiliar terrain.

Excessive speed, especially at
night or with limited visibility, can
result in insufficient time for you
to react to terrain changes, to avoid unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.

In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located on the top
of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then pull the brake lever
to stop.

while operating this vehicle.

When operating with a passenger (on approved models only) reduce speed
and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger reduces your
ability to control the vehicle.

and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and allow extra space
to turn or stop.
S
To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you should have
a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See Owner’s Manual for
proper use of traction products.

Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of braking
ability.

Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave brake
engaged for more than five minutes.

Before starting engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper opera-
tion. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in position to control the ve-
hicle.
