INTRODUCTION

SAFETY

OWNER REQUIREMENTS

Improper use, maintenance, or modification of this vehicle can lead to

serious injury or death.

Require proper use of your vehicle. Do not allow

anyone to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger

unless they are properly instructed and you are sure

they are willing to ride responsibly. To prevent

unauthorized use, always remove the ignition key

when the vehicle is not in use.

Any modifications or installation of non-POLARIS-approved accessories

could increase the risk of injury. While you may find aftermarket products

similar in design and quality to POLARIS accessories, recognize that some

aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential

safety hazards to you or others. It is never appropriate to install any additional

seating.

Check with the manufacturer to determine any potential effect of a modification

or accessory on the safe use of your vehicle. You are responsible for injuries

related to modifications to the vehicle. Modifications or accessories may:

• Damage machine components - especially modifications that increase speed

or power.

• Make the vehicle less stable at higher speeds.

• Add weight, reducing the amount of cargo and total weight you can carry, and

raise the vehicle’s center of gravity.

• Overload the vehicle’s electrical system capacity. Blowing a fuse may cause a

loss of lights or engine power.

• Reduce the effectiveness of occupant protection systems, including the

seatbelts and the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS).

• Make it illegal to own or operate your vehicle. POLARIS-authorized spark

arresters, mufflers, and emissions control components are mandatory for

ownership or operation in many areas.

• Void your warranty.

The vehicle ROPS, when used with the seat belts and doors, provides a

structure to help protect occupants. The structure will not protect occupants

in all rollovers or accidents.

For more information about safety, contact an authorized dealer or visit the

Polaris website at www.polaris.com.

SAFETY

DRIVER AND PASSENGER QUALIFICATIONS

Make sure operators are 16 or older with a valid

driver’s license. Just because a teenager has a

license does not mean that they will make good

judgments about driving and avoid risk taking.

POLARIS recommends that you supervise younger drivers.

Set rules and put limits on how, when, and where they are

allowed to use this vehicle. For example, young drivers

may need to have an adult in the vehicle with them and not

be allowed to drive with their friends in the vehicle.

Make sure all riders fit the vehicle. Be sure that the driver and all passengers

are able to:

• sit with their backs against their seat,

• adjust the seat belt to fit properly,

• have both feet flat on the floor, and

• have both hands on the steering wheel or on a passenger hand hold.

Do not allow children who need child safety seats or booster seats to ride

in the vehicle. The vehicle is not designed to restrain automotive child safety

seats.

You are responsible for your passengers. Be sure passengers are seated

properly, belted, holding the passenger hand hold, and ready to brace.

Unrestrained riders can fall out or be thrown around and from a moving vehicle.

Every person must be properly seated and belted in their own seat. Two

people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can

crash into one another in a collision and be seriously injured. Never carry

passengers in the cargo bed as they could be thrown against or out of the

vehicle or come into contact with moving parts.

Do not let people drive or ride after using alcohol or drugs.

SAFETY

PREPARE VEHICLE FOR THE RIDE

Before starting off, always perform the Pre-Ride

Inspection. Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle is

in safe operating condition increases the risk of an

accident, which can lead to serious injury or death.

SAFETY

PREPARE YOURSELF, PASSENGERS, AND

CARGO FOR THE RIDE

Wear an approved helmet. Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved

helmet increases the risk of serious injury. For example, a helmet reduces your

risk of injury from head strikes with the vehicle or other objects even if there is no

crash.

Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S.

Department of Transportation (DOT) label. Approved

helmets in Europe, Asia, and Oceania bear the ECE

22.05 label. The ECE mark consists of a circle

surrounding the letter E, followed by the distinguishing

number of the country which has granted approval.

The approval number and serial number will also be

displayed on the label.

Use shatterproof goggles or a shatterproof helmet face shield. Such

protective eyewear may reduce the risk of foreign material getting in your eyes

and help prevent loss of vision.

POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) that have markings

indicating they are designed to standards such as:

• VESC 8

• V-8

• Z87.1

• CE

Additional protective

clothing and gear that may be appropriate for your riding conditions includes:

• Always wear shoes when operating. Consider wearing sturdy over-the-ankle

boots suitable for the terrain you will be riding in.

• Full-finger gloves can protect against wind, sun, cold, and objects. Choose

gloves that fit snugly and allow fingers to move freely and grip on the steering

wheel or hand holds.

• Consider long sleeves and long pants to help protect arms and legs.

• Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing

loss. Properly worn hearing protective devices such as earplugs can help

prevent hearing loss. Check local laws or the rules of the riding area you are

in before wearing hearing protection to make sure its use is permitted.

SAFETY

Always stay completely inside the vehicle and hold the steering wheel or

hand holds. Body parts outside of the vehicle can be struck by passing objects

or crushed during a rollover. Do not put any part of your body outside of the

vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto the ROPS frame or put any part of your

body on the door.

Riding in this vehicle without closed and latched cab doors increases the risk of

serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Always make sure

all cab doors are closed and latched while riding in this vehicle.

Be sure riders pay attention and plan ahead. If you think or feel the vehicle

may tip or roll, reduce your risk of injury:

• Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or hand holds and brace yourself.

• Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason.

This vehicle is not designed to carry unrestrained pets. An unrestrained pet

can be thrown about and injure riders, even during normal operation. When

transporting pets, use a pet crate suitable for off-road use that is secured to the

vehicle.

Fuels such as gasoline can be extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of

serious injury or death, never carry fuel or other flammable liquids on this

vehicle. Rollovers, crashes, rough riding, or changes in elevation or temperature

may lead to fuel spilling or vapor release from portable containers. Hot vehicle

parts can cause fires, even after the engine has been turned off.

Never exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight

capacity varies depending on model. The cargo box can support up to 500 lbs.

(226 kg) of that total. When more rider weight is added, cargo weight may need

to be eliminated to stay under the limit. Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo

improperly will cause changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss

of control or an accident.

Secure cargo in the cargo box as far forward, centered and as low as

possible. When cargo cannot be positioned and secured in this way, operate

with extra caution. Unsecured cargo can strike and injure riders, affect vehicle

handling, and result in loss of control.

The weight of riders and cargo changes vehicle braking, handling, and

stability. To avoid loss of control, turn gradually, operate at slower speeds, and

avoid rougher or steeper terrain.

SAFETY

DRIVING GUIDELINES

Drive Responsibly. This vehicle has higher

ground clearance and other features to handle

rugged terrain. It can be overturned in situations

where some other vehicles may not. Abrupt

maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat,

open areas, can cause loss of control, rollovers,

severe injury or death. To avoid loss of control and

rollovers:

• Avoid abrupt maneuvers, sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never

do donuts.

• Slow down before entering turn.

• Avoid hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop.

High speed off-road operation

Driving off-road vehicles to test the limits of your skills or abilities can be very

dangerous to you, passengers, and bystanders. Basic skills for driving a car,

ATV, or other off-road vehicles do not equip drivers to safely attempt high speed

off-road operation. Develop your skill gradually through training, practice, and

experience with the various driving modes of this vehicle and the terrain in which

you are operating. Always do a low speed reconnaissance run (prerun) to

become aware of anything you may encounter.

High speed off-road operation can lead to loss of control, crashes, or hard

landings that can seriously injure occupants (even without rolling the vehicle or

damaging it).

If you plan on using the vehicle for high speed, off-road competition, additional

safety equipment may be necessary. Check the rules that apply to your

competition.

Do not go over jumps — going airborne can lead to serious injury or death.

Going airborne can cause loss of control, rollovers, or crashing into the ground

and may damage the vehicle. Even without crashing, landings can be hard

enough to cause any vehicle suspension to fully compress (e.g., bottom out).

Serious injuries, including spinal injuries, can occur even if riders are properly

harnessed, wearing helmets and the vehicle is not damaged and remains

upright.

You may encounter slopes, "jumps", or other terrain features that could send the

vehicle airborne, depending on your speed. These may be defectively designed,

poorly maintained, or not suitable for this vehicle. Slow down, use extra care,

and avoid going airborne. Never take this vehicle over jumps.

SAFETY

Watching someone else go over a jump or go airborne does not mean you can

safely do so. Polaris cannot determine whether any jump you may encounter is

appropriate for this vehicle. Any jump, even a small one, could be poorly

maintained, designed, or not suitable for this vehicle and may cause serious

injury or death.

Plan for hills, rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and terrain.

Proceed slowly and with extra care on unfamiliar terrain. Avoid paved surfaces.

Sudden changes in terrain such as holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder

ground, or other irregularities may cause loss of control or rollover. Give yourself

time to react to rocks, bumps, or holes that may be hard to see. Operating in

deep snow or tall grass may make it harder to see obstacles.

If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as a fallen tree or a ditch, stop the

vehicle in a safe place. Get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look from both

your approach side and exit side. If you are reasonably confident you can

continue safely, choose the path that will allow you to go straight over the

obstacle to minimize the vehicle tipping sideways. Go only fast enough to

maintain your momentum, but still give yourself plenty of time to react to

changes in conditions. If there is any question about your ability to maneuver

safely over the obstacle, you should turn around if the ground is flat and you

have the room, or back up until you find a less difficult path.

Abrupt application of the accelerator pedal can cause the tires to lose traction,

reducing control of the vehicle and increasing the possibility of an accident,

especially while on sloped terrain or while crossing obstacles such as rocks or

logs.

Avoid Operating on Public Roads (Paved or Otherwise). This vehicle does

not have highway safety features that on-road vehicles may have (air bags,

anti-lock brakes, stability control, etc.). If another vehicle collides with you, the

likelihood of a serious injury or death may be greater. Also, you may not be able

to avoid a crash or rollover if you make sudden or abrupt maneuvers such as

swerving or emergency braking.

While it may be legal to drive on some public roads, it is recommended that you

avoid on-road operation. If you must drive on-road, drive slowly and defensively.

Use extra care. You may also need to make vehicle modifications to comply with

state or local laws. In addition, refer to tire manufacturer’s instructions or

limitations for on-road operation, including speed limits and premature tire wear.

SAFETY

Improperly operating on hills can cause loss of control, rollover, or

accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. Use extra care when

operating on hills. Plan for rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and

terrain.

Driving up hills

Check the terrain before ascending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or

loose. Engage all-wheel drive for hills. Drive straight uphill, keeping speed and

throttle steady. Avoid steep hills which can cause the vehicle to overturn.

Recovering from stalling on a hill

If the vehicle loses forward speed, apply the brakes gradually and stop. Do not

attempt to turn the vehicle around. Instead, shift to reverse and allow the vehicle

to slowly roll straight downhill. Apply light brake pressure to control speed.

Overtopping a hill

Slow down when you reach the crest of a hill. Never blindly go over the crest of a

hill or a drop off at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or

person could be on the other side of the hill.

Driving down hills

Check the terrain before descending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or

loose. Engage all-wheel drive and proceed slowly, applying the brakes lightly.

Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral or if the engine is turned off.

Avoid side hilling (riding across slopes)

If unavoidable, proceed slowly and with extra caution. Avoid obstacles and

changes in terrain that could cause the vehicle to tip or slide. If it feels like the

vehicle begins to tip or slide, immediately turn downhill.

Riding near wooded areas or brush

Use extra caution when operating near trees, particularly when operating on

narrow trails. Tree branches or brush can be driven into the cab striking or

stabbing occupants.

Riding in snow

Always keep the brake and accelerator pedals free of snow and ice. Apply the

brakes frequently to prevent ice or snow accumulation on the brake pads which

can reduce brake performance.

Riding on ice

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

that the ice can support the weight of the vehicle. Severe injury or death can

result if the vehicle falls through the ice.

SAFETY

Riding in water / Falling into water

Operating through deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of traction, loss of

control, overturning, or being swept away in water. You can be seriously injured

or killed from entrapment and drowning. Never operate the vehicle in

fast-flowing water or in water that exceeds the floor level of the vehicle. Avoid

sharp drop-offs and large rocks. Choose a path that provides an entrance and

exit point with gradual inclines. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability.

After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while

driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.

Riding on sand dunes

Use extra caution when operating on or near dunes. Be alert for changes in

terrain. Never blindly go over the crest of a hill or a drop-off at high speed. An

obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or a person could be on the other side

of the hill.

Riding in low-visibility conditions

Use extra caution and drive slowly in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog,

rain, and darkness.

Plan ahead to avoid the need for evasive maneuvers, such as swerving.

Hitting an obstacle — including wildlife — you are not ready for can be

dangerous. Choosing to swerve instead can be even more dangerous because

it can lead to loss of control, rollover, or collisions.

When operating in areas with possibility of wildlife appearing in your path, plan

ahead to avoid swerving for animals if doing so could result in collisions or

rollovers. Go slowly or avoid driving during seasons or times of day when

animals such as deer are more likely to cross your path without warning.

Avoid Collisions With Other Vehicles

When following another vehicle or operating in the same area as others, keep a

safe distance to avoid collisions. Allow extra space when sight distances are

limited by dust, snow, curves, hills, or other conditions. Plan ahead to avoid

having to swerve or leave the trail to avoid a collision.

On trails, be prepared to make space for other vehicles to pass. If you need to

stop on a trail, move your vehicle to the edge of the path to allow others to pass

safely.

Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.

Never apply the brakes during a skid.

SAFETY

If the vehicle begins to slide downhill or you feel it may tip, turn downhill

immediately and stop. Maneuver slowly and carefully until you can drive straight

downhill.

Do not continue driving if your vehicle may be damaged or if you were in a

crash or rollover.

Operating the vehicle while damaged or after a crash or rollover can cause loss

of control, rollover, or accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. If you

cannot safely transport the vehicle on your own, contact a recovery and towing

service.

After any crash, rollover, or other accident, have a POLARIS dealer inspect the

vehicle for possible damage, including seat belts, ROPS, brakes, suspension,

and steering systems.

Be prepared in case your vehicle becomes damaged or disabled, especially in

remote areas. Consider in advance how to get help and stay safe until it arrives

whenever you ride.

SAFETY

There is a recovery tow loop qq at the front and back of the vehicle to

attach a winch or strap.

Use these loops to recover this vehicle if it is stuck, to pull it onto a tow truck,

trailer, or to use this vehicle to recover another vehicle. These loops are for

emergency recovery only and are not for towing vehicles to another location.

Improper recovery may lead to loss of control or vehicle damage. Only attach

straps to specified locations. Do not attach to any other point on the vehicle.

Only recover a vehicle of equal or lesser size and weight. When recovering a

disabled vehicle, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Do not

move a disabled POLARIS vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).

Operating, Idling, Or Parking Near Combustible Materials

Engine, exhaust, and other vehicle components can be very hot during and after

use. Do not idle or park the vehicle over anything that could contact the exhaust

system and catch on fire, such as tall grass, weeds, brush, leaves, debris, or

other tall ground cover. Do not let mud, grass, or other debris accumulate on the

engine or exhaust system. Inspect and remove as needed.

Vehicle rollaway can cause serious injury or death. This vehicle can roll

whenever the gear selector is not in the PARK (P) position. Always shift to PARK

(P) when stopping the engine or leaving the vehicle. When leaving the vehicle

on an incline is unavoidable, use extra care. If leaving the vehicle unattended,

block the rear wheels on the downhill side and keep children, pets, and others

away from the gear selector.

Before shifting into reverse, use extra care to make sure the area is clear

of people or obstacles. When it’s safe to proceed, back slowly.

SAFETY

After operation, inspect the vehicle for damage and debris to make sure the

vehicle can be safely stored and operated again. Some things to inspect include:

• Debris that could catch fire, such as mud/grass near the engine or exhaust

system

• Damage to the suspension, steering, or any other part of the vehicle

• Tire condition, such as tread and sidewall damage

• Shock absorber assembly condition

Be sure to have any issues checked and problems fixed before operating again.

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing

carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,

confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless,

tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine

exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can

quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon

monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If

you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area

immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

• Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with

fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach

dangerous levels.

• Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as

barns, garages, or carports. If you start a vehicle in one of these, drive it out

and close the door as soon as possible. If you drive it into one of these, turn it

off as soon as possible.

• Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a

building through openings such as windows and doors.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

OPERATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,

accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and

understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD

The break-in period for your new vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the

time it takes to use the first 2 full tanks of gasoline. No single action on your part

is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine

will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform

the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE

Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage

close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle

or high speeds during the first 3 hours of use.

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always exercise extreme caution whenever

handling gasoline.

2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil

level in the safe operating range.

3. Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures.

4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.

5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

6. Pull only light loads.

7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the

daily pre-ride inspection checklist.

8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or

one month.

9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of

operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

OPERATION

BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN

Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly

forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and

rotors.

PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and

better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower

speeds, in L gear, during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light

loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the

break-in period.

If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and

from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.

you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor example) for

others to follow. Tread LightlySM. 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 vehicles in your group. When

stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the trail as far as possible to allow

others to pass safely.

OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

2. Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt. Secure the cab doors (if

equipped).

3. Place the transmission in PARK.

4. Apply the brakes. Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the engine.

5. Turn the ignition key past the ON/RUN position to START. Engage the starter

for a maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the engine starts.

6. If the engine does not start within five seconds, return the ignition switch to

the OFF position and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the

engine starts.

7. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up until the

engine idles smoothly.

NOTICE

Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.

Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Turn the key to the OFF position.

4. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK

before exiting the vehicle.

WARNING

A rolling vehicle can cause serious injury. Always place the transmission in

PARK before stopping the engine.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising oil level

could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water or excess fuel in

the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the crankcase can lead to

engine damage and must be drained. Water accumulation increases as outside

temperature decreases.

OPERATION

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Most Polaris Off-Road Vehicles require unleaded gasoline with a minimum

pump octane number of 87. Do not use fuel with an ethanol content greater than

10 percent. Octane in excess of 87 will not damage the engine but typically will

not result in performance gains.

Be aware that fuel is mixed differently depending on the season. Summer fuel

has a low Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP), which makes it less likely to evaporate in

warm weather riding. This prevents vapor lock issues. Winter fuel has a higher

RVP, which increases evaporation to ease starting in cold weather conditions. In

winter, it’s important to drain your tank and fill it with fresh fuel from a high

volume gas station. This ensures your fuel is a winter blend. After filling the tank,

run the engine for 10 to 15 minutes. This will fill the fuel system with the fresh

winter-blended fuel.

OPERATION

BRAKING

1. Release the throttle pedal completely.

NOTICE

When the throttle pedal is released completely and engine speed slows to near

idle, the vehicle has no engine braking.

2. Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly. Practice starting and stopping

(using the brakes) until you're familiar with the controls.

PARKING THE VEHICLE

1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface. When parking inside a garage or other

structure, be sure that the structure is well ventilated and that the vehicle is

not close to any source of flame or sparks, including any appliance with pilot

lights.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Engage the parking brake (if equipped).

5. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK

before exiting the vehicle.

6. Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.

follow these precautions when hauling cargo:

Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.

REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING

WHEN HAULING CARGO.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY of the vehicle. When

determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the

operator, passenger, accessories, loads in the rack or box and the load on the

trailer tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the

maximum weight capacity.

Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible.

When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain

stable driving conditions.

Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling or towing loads.

Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available.

SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create

unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the

vehicle.

OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When

handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load

and operate with extra caution.

Always attach the tow load to the hitch point designated for your vehicle.

HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use

extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or

situations that may require backing downhill.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the

rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing

vehicle rollover.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle

should never exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) while towing a load on a level grass

surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 MPH (8 km/h) when towing

loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.

Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or

contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo

box.

automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear

wheels regain traction, the front gearcase will automatically disengage. There is

no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD. Initially, the

vehicle's electronic system will not enable the AWD until the engine RPM is

below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the switch is turned

off. If the switch is turned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not

disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.

Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be

needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to

AWD.

OPERATION

DISENGAGING AWD

Move the driveline mode switch to the center or bottom position to disengage

AWD. If the switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they will not

wheel drive (2WD). Locking the differential in slippery or low traction conditions

helps improve traction. When the rear differential is locked, both rear wheels

rotate at the same speed.

UNLOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL (TURF MODE)

When operating in TURF mode, the inside rear wheel will rotate independently

from the outside wheel during turns. Operate in TURF mode only as needed to

protect smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. DO NOT operate in TURF

mode when climbing or descending hills, when sidehilling, or when operating on

uneven, loose, or slippery terrain such as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and

water crossings. Always operate in AWD on these types of terrain.

WARNING

Operating in TURF mode (if equipped) when on sloped, uneven, or loose

terrain could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. One

rear wheel may slip and lose traction or may lift up and grab when it touches

the ground again.

Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive

wheels to operate independently (1WD). When the rear differential is unlocked,

the rear wheels can rotate at different speeds. Unlock the differential to make

maneuvering easier and minimize damage to turf.

SPARK PLUGS

SPARK PLUG RECOMMENDATIONS

Refer to the Specifications section for the recommended spark plug type for your

vehicle. Always torque spark plugs to specification.

NOTICE

Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine damage.

Always use POLARIS-recommended spark plugs or their equivalent.

SPARK PLUG GAP/TORQUE

ELECTRODE GAP NEW OR USED PLUG TORQUE

0.03 in (0.85 mm) 9 ft-lbs (12 N·m)

SPARK PLUG INSPECTION

Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug firing end

condition should be read after the engine is warmed up and the vehicle is driven

at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark plug for correct color.

CAUTION

A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves

when removing a spark plug for inspection.

To inspect the spark plugs, do the following:

1. Lift the cargo box to access the spark plugs.

2. Remove the spark plug cap. Using the spark plug wrench provided in the tool

kit, remove the plug by rotating it counter-clockwise.

3. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation.

4. Torque to specification.

NORMAL PLUG

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few combustion

deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the proper

type and heat range for the engine and the service.

The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, caused

by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body adjustments.

118

MAINTENANCE

WET FOULED PLUG

The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing end. There

may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the electrodes are not

worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil, use of non-recommended oil

or poor fuel quality.

COOLING SYSTEM

The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery system. The

recovery system components are the overflow bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator

pressure cap and connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess

coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and into the overflow

bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the contracting (cooled)

coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the pressure cap, and into the

radiator.

Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging

itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and maintain as recommended by

adding coolant to the overflow bottle.

ADDING OR CHANGING COOLANT

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This

antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we

recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh

Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.

Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,

replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. If the recovery bottle has

run dry, the level in the radiator should be inspected. Add coolant as needed.

RADIATOR AND COOLING FAN

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in

the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the

radiator by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind

the cooling fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating

and consequent engine damage.

NOTICE

Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator fins

and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is not

recommended.

119

MAINTENANCE

RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL

1. Remove the hood panel

CAUTION

Escaping steam can cause burns.

Never remove the pressure cap while

the engine is warm or hot. Always

allow the engine to cool before

removing the pressure cap.

2. Slowly remove the radiator cap q.

3. View the coolant level through the

opening.

4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant

as needed.

TIP

This procedure is required only if the

cooling system has been drained for

maintenance and/or repair. But, if the

overflow bottle has run dry, the level in

the radiator should be inspected.

5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a

non-standard pressure cap will not

allow the recovery system to

function properly. Your POLARIS

dealer can provide the correct

replacement part.

OVERFLOW BOTTLE COOLANT LEVEL

Always check and change the coolant

at the intervals outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart. Maintain the

coolant level between the minimum and

maximum marks on the bottle (when the

fluid is cool).

120

MAINTENANCE

1. Position the vehicle on a level

surface.

2. Lift the hood. View the coolant level

in the overflow bottle w.

3. If the coolant level is below the safe

operating range, lift the hood and

locate the overflow bottle lid.

Remove the cap and use a funnel to

add coolant through the filler

opening. Reinstall the cap.

TIP

If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely dry,

there may be a leak in the system. Your dealer can inspect the cooling system.

BRAKE FLUID

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before

each operation.

WARNING

After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never

store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly

absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of

the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of

accident or severe injury.

Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes

contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of

the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.

2. View the brake fluid level at the reservoir in the driver’s side wheel well. The

level should be between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) level lines.

3. If the fluid level is lower than the upper level line, remove the master cylinder

cap and add brake fluid to the upper (MAX) line.

4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage

around the fittings.

a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust

system.

If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning (not recommended),

exercise extreme caution. The water may damage components and could

remove paint and labels. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:

• Wheel bearings

• Radiator

• Transmission seals

• Brakes

• Door seals (if equipped)

• Cab and body panels

• Labels and decals

• Electrical components and wiring

• Air intake components

• Window seals (if equipped)

MAINTENANCE

If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your

POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, to purchase a replacement.

Replacement safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no charge.

STORAGE TIPS

NOTICE

Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film

created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the

storage period.

CLEAN THE EXTERIOR

Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended.

STABILIZE THE FUEL

1. Fill the fuel tank.

2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer or

equivalent fuel treatments or stabilizers. Follow the instructions on the

container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from

fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons,

rings, valves and exhaust systems.

3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse

through the entire fuel delivery system.

OIL AND FILTER

Change the oil and filter. See the Engine Oil section.

AIR FILTER / AIR BOX

Replace the air filter. See Maintenance Chapter. Clean the air box.

FLUID LEVELS

Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart.

• Demand drive fluid (front gearcase)

• Rear gearcase fluid (if equipped)

• Transmission fluid

• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark or

contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength/fill)

INSPECT AND LUBRICATE

Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart.

146

MAINTENANCE

FOG THE ENGINE

1. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean or other equivalent fuel

treatment. Follow the instructions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it

to idle for several minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop

the engine.

2. Remove the spark plugs and add 1–1.5 oz. (29.5–44 cc.) of engine oil. To

access the plug holes, use a section of clear 6 mm (1/4”) hose and a small

plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. Do this

carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities

into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak.

3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification.

4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Do not reinstall

the cap onto the plug at this step.

5. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the

piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh

oil.

6. Reinstall the spark plug caps.

7. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and

injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.

STORAGE AREA / COVERS

Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a genuine

POLARIS cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow

enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and

oxidation.

147

MAINTENANCE

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

WARNING

Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can cause loss of

consciousness or death. Never run an engine in an enclosed area.

1. Check the battery electrolyte level and charge the battery if necessary. Install

it in the vehicle. Make sure the battery vent hose is routed properly and that

it's not pinched or restricted in any way.

2. Make sure spark plugs are tight.

3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

4. Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection. Tightness of the

bolts, nuts and other fasteners should be checked by an authorized dealer or

other qualified service facility.

5. Lubricate at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.

1. Apply the brakes.

2. Place the transmission in PARK. Stop the engine.

3. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK

before exiting the vehicle.

4. Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.

5. Secure the fuel cap and seat. Ensure that the seat is attached correctly and

is not loose.

WARNING

Cargo and other loose vehicle parts may fly off while transporting this vehicle.

Secure or remove all cargo, and inspect the unit for loose parts prior to

transport.

If transporting the vehicle in a non-enclosed trailer, then the vehicle must FACE

FORWARD, or roof must be removed.

Failure to comply may allow airflow, vibration, or other factors to separate the

roof from the vehicle and cause an accident, resulting in serious personal

injury or death.

6. Using suitable straps or rope, always secure the vehicle to the trailer using

the designated tie down points (front and rear).
