RIDING

Backing Up

1. Avoid backing up on steep inclines.
2. Always back slowly.
3. When in reverse, apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
4. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
5. Never open the throttle suddenly while backing.
6. Never activate override button while throttle is open. Loss of

control may result.

NOTE: Most Polaris ATVs are equipped with a reverse speed limit-

er. The override button should be used with caution as rearward

vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open

throttle. Only open the throttle enough to maintain a desired

speed. Manual shift models (Xpedition) do not have a reverse

speed limiter or an override.

Opening the throttle more than required may cause excessive

fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or

engine damage.
