OPERATION

Safe Operation Practices

12. Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have

first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight
and moving force of the vehicle, you and your cargo, together with
any other vehicles in your party.

13. Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep

combustible materials away from the exhaust system.

14. Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to

prevent unauthorized use.

Know Your Riding Area/Tread Lightly

Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the
operation of this vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which
you ride your vehicle. Find out where the designated riding areas are by
contacting your POLARIS dealer, a local riding club, or local officials.

Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road
enthusiast, you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor
example) for others to follow. Tread lightly. Operate with respect for the
terrain, avoid littering, and always stay on the designated trails.

Trail Etiquette

Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance
between your vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area.
Communicate to oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehi-
cles in your group. When stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the
trail as far as possible to allow others to pass safely.
