Operator Safety
S Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving wat er. If necessary, apply them lightly several times to allow
friction to dry out the pads.
S Always check for obstacles or people behind the ATV before operat-
ing in reverse. When it’s safe to proceed in reverse, move slowly and
avoid turning at sharp angles.
S Always use t he size and type of tires specified for your ATV, and
always maintain proper tire pressure.
S Never modify an ATV through improper insta llation or use of acces-
sories.
S Never exceed the sta ted load capacity for your ATV. Cargo must be
properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow
the instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or towing. Allow a
greater distance for braking.
S Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to
prevent unauthorized use or accidental starting.

Equipment Modifications
We are concerned for the safety of our customers and for the general
public. Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers do not
install on a Polaris ATV any equipment that may increase the speed or
power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle
for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment of the
vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily
injury.
The warranty on your Polaris ATV is terminat ed if any equipment has
been added to the vehicle, or if any m odifications have been made to
the vehicle, that increase its speed or power.
NOTE: The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited
to) mowers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the
handling characteristics of the vehicle. Use only Polaris-approved
accessories, and familiarize yourself with their function and effect on
the vehicle.
