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.
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.
The vehicle does not have a tow hitch and is not designed to tow another
vehicle for any distance.
Towing can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control.
