Rider Safety

If a Quadricycle has been involved in

an accident, always have an

authorized Polaris dealer inspect the

entire vehicle for possible damage,

including (but not limited to) brake,

throttle and steering systems.

Always follow the procedures

outlined in this manual for driving on

hills. See page 52. Never operate on

hills too steep for the Quadricycle or

for your abilities. Practice on smaller

hills before attempting larger hills.

Avoid climbing hills steeper than 15°.
Never operate with the differential

unlocked (

) while operating on a

hill or other irregular terrain. See pages 23 and 31. Always move the 4X4 switch

to ADC 4X4 before ascending or descending a hill.

Always follow the procedures

outlined in this manual for driving

downhill and for braking on hills. See

page 55.

Always follow the procedures

outlined in this manual for crossing

the side of a hill. See page 54.
Never attempt to turn the

Quadricycle around on any hill until

you've mastered (on level ground)

the turning technique outlined in this

manual.
