INTRODUCTORY SAFETY MESSAGE TO PARENTS
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles
differently from other vehicles including motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover
can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers such as turning and driving on hills
or over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.
Children differ in skills, physical abilities, and judgement. Some children may not be
able to operate an ATV safely. Parents should supervise their child’s use of the ATV
at all times. Parents should permit continued use only if they determine that the child
has the ability and maturity to operate the ATV safely.
Failure to follow the warnings contained in this manual can result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
• Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures de-
scribed.
• Never operate an ATV without proper instruction. Take a training course. Riders
should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized Polaris
ATV dealer or call Polaris at 1-800-342-3764 to find out about the training courses
nearest you.
