OPERATION
Driving in Reverse
Follow these precautions when
operating in reverse:
1. Always avoid backing
downhill.
2. Always check for obstacles
or people behind the ATV
before operating in reverse.
Be aware that a passenger
can obstruct your view.
3. When it’s safe to proceed in
reverse, move slowly and avoid
turning at sharp angles.
4. When in reverse, apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
5. Never open the throttle suddenly while backing.
WARNING
Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in
serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse, always check
for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. When it’s safe to
proceed, back slowly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required
for vehicle movement. Use with caution.
Avoid backing on inclines, and avoid turning at sharp angles.
NOTE: Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter.
The override button should be used with caution as rearward
vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide
open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to maintain a
desired speed.
CAUTION
Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may
cause fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping
and/or engine damage.
