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.
13
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.
14
SAFETY
PREPARE VEHICLE FOR THE RIDE
Before starting off, always perform the Pre-Ride

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.
18
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.
19
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.
20
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.
21
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.
22
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.
23
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.
24
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.
25
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.
83
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.
KNOW YOUR RIDING AREA/TREAD LIGHTLYSM
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.

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.
88
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.
89
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.

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.
121
MAINTENANCE
POLARIS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (PVT)
SYSTEM
WARNING
Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury

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.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
WASHING THE VEHICLE
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components.
NOTICE
High water pressure may damage components. POLARIS recommends
washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.
NOTICE
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage
plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a garden hose
and a pail of mild soap and water.
1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first and the
lower parts last.
2. Rinse with clean water frequently.
3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
WASHING TIPS
Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.
Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.
Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused
cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.
Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for
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)
144
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.
145
MAINTENANCE
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).
