SAFETY

Rider Safety

Always inspect your vehicle before each use
to verify that it's in safe operating condition.
See page 44. Follow the inspection and
maintenance procedures outlined in this
manual.

Keep both hands on the handlebars. Keep
both feet on the footrests.

Always travel slowly when operating on
unfamiliar terrain. Use extra caution.

Always follow the procedures outlined in this
manual for turning. See page 47.
Never turn sharply at excessive speeds,
which can lead to vehicle overturn.

If the vehicle 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.
