SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING

Failure to operate the ATV properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Heed all

safety warnings outlined in this section of the manual. See the ATV OPERATION section of this manual for proper operating procedures.

OPERATING WITHOUT INSTRUCTION Operating this vehicle without proper instruction increases the risk of an accident. The operator must understand how to operate the vehicle properly in different situations and on different types of terrain. All operators must read and understand the Owner's Manual and all warning and instruction labels before operating the vehicle.

AGE RESTRICTIONS This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. Operation is prohibited for anyone under 16 years of age. Never allow anyone under 12 years of age to ride as a passenger on a 2-up vehicle. Even though a child may be within the recommended age group for operating some ATVs, he/she may not have the skills, abilities, or judgment needed to operate or ride on this ATV safely and could be susceptible to accident or injury.

EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Operate this vehicle only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.

14

SAFETY

CARRYING MORE THAN ONE PASSENGER ON A 2-UP ATV Carrying more than one passenger on a 2-up ATV greatly reduces the operator's ability to balance and control the ATV, which may result in an accident or rollover. Never carry more than one passenger on a 2-up ATV.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet and protective eyewear increases the risk of a serious injuries in the event of an accident. Operator and all passenger must always wear an approved helmet that fits properly and eye protection (goggles or face shield).

OPERATING ON PUBLIC ROADS This vehicle is approved for on-road use.

15

SAFETY

USING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS Operating the vehicle after consuming alcohol or drugs could adversely affect operator judgment, reaction time, balance and perception. Never drink alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while operating this vehicle.

FAILURE TO INSPECT BEFORE OPERATING Failure to inspect and verify that the ATV is in safe operating condition before operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the ATV before each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition. Always follow all inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the owner's manual.

PHYSICAL CONTROL OF THE ATV Removing a hand from the handlebars or feet from the footrests during operation can reduce your ability to control the vehicle or cause loss of balance and ejection from the ATV. If the operators feet are not firmly planted on the footrests, they could come into contact with the rear wheels or other moving parts and lead to accident or injury. Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests of the ATV during operation. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times. The passenger should never hold on to the operator.

16

SAFETY

OPERATING IN UNFAMILIAR TERRAIN Failure to use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain could result in an accident or overturn. Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks, bumps, or holes that could cause loss of control or overturn. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions.

TURNING IMPROPERLY Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in the owner's manual. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.

JUMPS AND STUNTS Attempting wheelies, jumps and other stunts increases the risk of an accident or overturn. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Avoid exhibition driving.

17

SAFETY

MAINTENANCE AFTER ACCIDENT If a Tractor has been involved in an accident, always have an authorized dealer inspect the entire vehicle for possible damage, including (but not limited to) brake, throttle and steering systems.

IMPROPER HILL CLIMBING Always follow the procedures outlined in this manual for driving on hills. Never operate on hills too steep for the Tractor or for your abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.

Always move the AWD switch to ADC (if equipped) before ascending or descending a hill.

Never operate 570 models on hills steeper than 15. Never operate Touring models on hills steeper than 15.

DESCENDING HILLS IMPROPERLY Improperly descending a hill could cause loss of control or rollover.

Always follow proper procedures for traveling down hills as described in the owner's manual.

NOTE A special technique is required when braking while traveling downhill. See the

Driving Downhill section.

Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend a hill with the transmission in neutral. Always select ADC driveline mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a hill.

Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.

Shift your weight rearward. Never travel down a hill at high

speed. Avoid traveling down a hill at an

angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight down the hill when possible.

18

SAFETY

CROSSING HILLSIDES Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary. Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a hill. If crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always follow proper procedures as described in the owners manual. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until youve mastered the turning technique (on level ground) as described in the owners manual.

OPERATING OVER OBSTACLES Improperly operating over obstacles could cause loss of control or rollover. Before operating in a new area, check for obstacles. Avoid operating over large obstacles such as rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable, use extreme caution and always follow proper operating procedures as outlined in this manual.

OPERATING IMPROPERLY IN REVERSE Improperly operating in reverse could result in a collision with an obstacle or person. Always follow proper operating procedures as outlined in this manual. Before shifting into reverse gear, always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. When it's safe to proceed, back slowly.

19

SAFETY

OPERATING AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS Operating the ATV at excessive speeds increases the operator's risk of losing control. Never operate at excessive speeds. Travel at speeds appropriate for your skills, your passenger's skills, and operating conditions.

OPERATING ON SLIPPERY TERRAIN Failure to use extra caution when operating on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain. Always use extra caution on rough, slippery or loose terrain.

OPERATING THROUGH DEEP WATER Operating the ATV through deep or fast- flowing water could cause the tires to float, causing loss of control or overturn. Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast- flowing water. If it's unavoidable to enter water that exceeds the recommended maximum depth:

Travel slowly. Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements.

20

SAFETY

Maintain a slow and steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.

Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving. The friction will help dry out the pads.

IMPROPER TIRE MAINTENANCE WARNING

Operating this vehicle with improper tires or with improper or uneven tire pressure could cause loss of control or accident. Always use the size and type

of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in the owner's manual and on safety labels.

IMPROPER VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS Improper installation of accessories or modification of the ATV may cause changes in handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.

Never modify the ATV through improper installation or use of accessories. All parts and accessories added to the vehicle must be genuine POLARIS Industries Inc. or equivalent components designed for use on this ATV and should be installed and used according to approved instructions. An authorized dealer can assist.

IMPROPER CARGO LOADING Overloading the ATV or carrying/towing cargo may cause changes in handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident. Never exceed the stated load capacity for

this ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and

securely attached. Reduce speed when carrying cargo or

pulling a trailer. Allow a greater distance for braking.

Always follow the instructions in the owner's manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer.

Always follow the instructions in the owner's manual for operating with a passenger.

21

SAFETY

OPERATING ON FROZEN BODIES OF WATER Never operate the Tractor on a frozen body of water.

HANDLING GASOLINE Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline. Always refuel with the engine stopped, and outdoors or in a well ventilated

area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where

refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored. Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck. If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap

and water and change clothing.

STALLING WHILE CLIMBING A HILL Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could cause a rollover.

Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a

hill.

If all forward speed is lost:

Lean forward to keep body weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill. Apply the brakes. Lock the parking brake when fully stopped. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is

pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator may dismount.

Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the owner's manual.

If the ATV begins rolling downhill:

Keep operator and passenger body weight uphill. Never apply engine power. Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the single-lever

brake gradually. When fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking

brake.

22

SAFETY

Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator may dismount.

Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the owner's manual.

POOR VISIBILITY Operating the ATV in darkness or inclement weather could result in a collision or accident, especially if operating on a road or street. This ATV is not equipped with highway-approved lights. Operate this vehicle off-road only. Use caution and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain and darkness. Clean headlights frequently and replace burned out head lamps promptly.

PHYSICAL SKILLS Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehicle have an increased risk of overturn and loss of control.

SKIDDING OR SLIDING Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn (if tires regain traction unexpectedly). On slippery surfaces such as ice, travel slowly and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding.

HOT EXHAUST SYSTEMS Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle. Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass.

OCCUPANT PROTECTION DEVICE This vehicle is not equipped with an Occupant Protection Device capable of protecting the operator from falling objects. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times when operating this vehicle.

23

SAFETY

OPERATING A DAMAGED VEHICLE CAUTION

Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any rollover or other accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for possible damage, including (but not limited to) seat belts, rollover protection

devices, brakes, throttle, and steering systems.

OPERATING IN LIGHTNING Avoid operating this vehicle when lightning could occur unless the vehicle is equipped with a fully enclosed cab. Rubber tires, rubber handgrips and a foam seat will not protect a rider from lightning strikes. Always seek safe shelter when lightning is imminent.

UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE VEHICLE Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

THROTTLE LEVER WARNING

Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle controls could cause an accident. Never start or operate an ATV that has a sticking or

improperly operating throttle. Immediately contact your POLARIS dealer or other qualified person for service if throttle problems arise.

Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in an accident if the throttle lever sticks during operation. Always check the lever for free movement and return before starting the engine. Also check

occasionally during operation. Modifications to the electronic throttle control could result in failure to perform as designed, which could result in an accident. Do not attempt to modify the

throttle control system or replace it with any after market throttle mechanisms.

Engine speed and vehicle movement are controlled by pressing the throttle lever q. The throttle lever is spring loaded. Engine speed returns to idle when the lever is released. This ATV is equipped with a throttle release switch, which is designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

BRAKE LEVER WARNING

Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking, which could cause an accident. Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling

brake lever. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the vehicle.

Squeeze the brake lever q toward the handlebar to apply the front and rear brakes. These brakes are hydraulically activated disc type brakes that are activated by only one lever. Always test brake lever travel and master cylinder fluid level before riding. When squeezed, the lever should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your POLARIS dealer or other qualified service facility for proper diagnosis and repairs.

45

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE FLUID WARNING

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do

not overfill. Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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 brake failure, which could result in an accident. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.

Check the brake fluid in the master cylinder before each ride.

1. Position the ATV on a level surface.

2. Position the handlebars so the master cylinder q is level.

3. View the brake fluid level through the indicator window w on the top of the master cylinder. The eye will appear dark when the fluid level is full. When fluid is low, the eye will be clear.

4. If the fluid level is low, remove the cover screws and add fluid to the fill line. Do not overfill. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.

5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to 7 in-lbs (.8 Nm).

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.

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 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.

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.

If boarding from the right side of the vehicle, grasp the right handlebar grip with your right hand. Step onto the footrest and place your left foot and leg across the seat. Sit astride the vehicle.

DISMOUNTING 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Place the transmission in PARK (or neutral).

3. Stand on the footrests and dismount the vehicle, holding onto the handlebar for support.

80

OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well- ventilated area.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Lock the parking brake.

TIP The starter interlock will prevent the engine from starting if the transmission is

in gear and the brake is not engaged.

IMPORTANT The starter interlock is disabled if the brake warning indicator lamp is

illuminated. The vehicle can start without applying brakes, but shift lever must be in the Park or Neutral position.

4. Sit on the vehicle and move the engine stop switch to RUN.

TIP Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.

5. Turn the ignition key past the ON position to engage the starter. Activate the starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the key when the engine starts.

6. If the engine does not start, return the key to the OFF position and wait five seconds before attempting to start again. Activate the starter for another five seconds if necessary. Repeat this procedure until the engine starts.

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 engine off.

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

81

OPERATION

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

PARK before stopping the engine.

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.

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.

See your dealer for engine heater kits, which provide quicker warm-ups and easier starting in colder weather.

Operating at speeds greater than 11 km/h (7 MPH) High

82

OPERATION

NEW OPERATOR DRIVING PROCEDURES 1. Wear protective riding gear. See the Safe Riding Gear section.

2. Perform the pre-ride inspection.

3. Place the transmission in PARK.

4. Lock the parking brake.

5. Mount the vehicle from the left side.

6. Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the handlebars.

7. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.

8. Shift the transmission into gear.

9. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.

10. Release the parking brake.

11. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.

12. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces.

DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER 1. Never carry more than one passenger on a 2-up ATV.

2. Do not carry a passenger on a 2-up ATV until you have at least two hours of driving experience with the vehicle.

3. Never allow anyone under 12 years of age to ride as a passenger on a 2-up ATV. Make sure any passenger is tall enough to comfortably and safely reach the grab handles and footrests.

4. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear, including an approved helmet with a rigid chin guard.

5. Perform the pre-ride inspection.

6. Lock the parking brake.

7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make sure the brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless whenever a passenger mounts or dismounts.

8. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times. The passenger should never hold on to the operator. Never secure a passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.

83

OPERATION

9. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on board. Allow more time and distance for braking.

10. Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a passenger to fall from the vehicle.

11. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board.

12. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of "active riding." When hillclimbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger should shift body weight in the same manner in which the driver shifts body weight. For example, the passenger should lean to the inside of a turn along with the operator and should always lean uphill when climbing and descending hills.

TURNING THE VEHICLE Your ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives both rear wheels equally at all times. This means that the wheel on the outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.

1. Slow down.

2. Never turn quickly when carrying a passenger or cargo.

3. Steer in the direction of the turn.

4. Keep both feet on the footrests.

5. Lean your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse.

6. Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.

WARNING Turning improperly can result in vehicle rollover. Never turn abruptly or at sharp

angles. Never turn at high speeds.

84

OPERATION

DRIVING UPHILL Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:

1. Always move the 4X4 switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a hill.

2. Drive straight uphill.

3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 15 4. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.

5. Keep both feet on the footrests.

6. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight uphill.

7. Proceed at a steady rate of speed to avoid stalling.

8. Be alert. Be prepared to take emergency action. This may include dismounting quickly.

9. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes.

10. Never go over the top of a hill at high speed.

If all forward speed is lost:

1. Keep your weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill.

2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.

3. Engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose traction.

NOTICE Severe damage to drive train may occur if the 4X4 is engaged while the wheels

are spinning. Allow the rear wheels to stop spinning before engaging 4X4, or engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose traction.

4. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.

5. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.

86

OPERATION

DRIVING DOWNHILL When driving downhill, follow these precautions:

1. Always move the 4X4 Switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a hill. See the All Wheel Drive System section for details.

2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 15 3. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.

4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.

5. Never drive downhill at high speed. Slow down.

6. Drive straight downhill. Avoid driving downhill at an angle, which can cause the vehicle to pitch sharply to one side.

7. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight uphill.

8. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing. Applying the brakes too firmly may cause the rear wheels to lock, which could result in loss of control.

87

OPERATION

DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING) Avoid crossing the side of a hill (sidehilling), if possible. If sidehilling is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Slow down.

2. Shift body weight uphill.

3. Keep your feet on the footrests.

4. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.

5. Avoid crossing the sides of steep hills.

6. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. Ask the passenger to dismount and walk across the hillside before remounting the vehicle.

7. If the vehicle begins to slide or tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!

88

OPERATION

TURNING AROUND ON A HILL (K-TURN) If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the K- Turn to turn around.

1. Stop the vehicle. Keep your weight uphill.

2. Always move the 4X4 switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a hill. See the All Wheel Drive System section for details.

10. Apply the foot brake.

11. With the transmission still in forward, start the engine.

12. Squeeze and release the brake lever to release the parking brake.

13. Release the foot brake and drive slowly downhill. Control speed with either the hand or foot brake until the vehicle is on level ground.

89

OPERATION

DRIVING THROUGH WATER Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to the bottom of the footrests q. Follow these procedures when operating through water:

1. Determine water depths and current before entering water.

2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.

3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.

NOTICE

Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the maintenance chart. The

following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, demand drive fluid, rear gearcase oil, and all grease fittings.

If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after operating in water, restarting can result in serious engine damage. Transport the vehicle to your dealer for service before restarting the engine. If this is not

possible, follow the vehicle immersion inspection and drying procedures outlined in the PVT Drying section, then see your dealer for service at the first

opportunity.

4. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.

If its unavoidable to enter water deeper than the footrest level:

Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles. Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements. Maintain a steady rate of speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops. Do not

make sudden throttle changes.

90

OPERATION

DRIVING IN REVERSE Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:

1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.

2. Always avoid backing downhill.

3. Back slowly.

4. Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.

5. Avoid turning at sharp angles.

6. Never open the throttle suddenly.

7. Do not use the override switch unless additional wheel speed is required for vehicle movement. Use the override with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Operate the throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed.

NOTICE Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may cause fuel to

build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.

91

OPERATION

DRIVING OVER OBSTACLES Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:

1. Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.

2. Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for hazards such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.

3. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not all obstacles are immediately visible.

4. Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees.

5. Always have a passenger dismount before operating over an obstacle that could cause a fall from the vehicle or vehicle tipover.

92

OPERATION

PARKING ON AN INCLINE Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Stop the engine.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Lock the parking brake.

4. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side.

93

OPERATION

HAULING CARGO WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always

follow these precautions when hauling cargo.

Read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the vehicle warning labels.

Never exceed the stated load capacity for this 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.

REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING WHEN HAULING CARGO OR TOWING. Use extreme caution when applying brakes. Avoid situations that require backing downhill.

WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION on models with front and rear racks should be 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. Carrying loads on only one rack increases the possibility of vehicle overturn.

CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable operating condition.

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 the vehicle to overturn.

Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY unless your vehicle is approved for on-road operation.

TOWING SPEED should never exceed 16 km/h. Never exceed 8 km/h when towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending hills.

94

OPERATION

1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your vehicle on warning labels and in the Specifications section of this manual.

2. On models with front and rear racks, cargo weight should be evenly distributed ( 2/3 q on the rear and 1/3 w on the front) and mounted as low as possible.

3. All Models: NEVER exceed 80 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 34 kg and/or front cargo loads are above 17 kg.

4. 2Up Models: 2-Up Models: NEVER exceed 80 km/h while carrying a passenger.

5. X2 Models: NEVER exceed 16 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 91 kg. Make sure the cargo box dump latch is securely latched before loading and operating. Unintentional dumping will result if weight is placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.

6. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to maintain stable driving conditions.

7. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.

8. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.

9. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing loads. Balance, handling, and control may be affected.

95

OPERATION

TOWING LOADS Do not tow any trailer on a grade steeper than 15. The combination of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must not

exceed the rear rack capacity. The total load (operator, passenger, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch)

must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

CAPACITIES REAR HITCH

Maximum Towed Load (Level Ground) 270 kg (unbraked trailer)

Maximum Vertical Hitch Weight 75 kg

WARNING Using an improper hitch or exceeding the maximum tongue weight capacity

can result in serious damage to the vehicle and will void your warranty. Never install a hitch longer than 10 cm. Never install automotive accessories on your

POLARIS Tractor. Always install POLARIS-approved (or equivalent) accessories designed for Tractor use.

DUMPING CARGO (X2)

WARNING If cargo weight is placed toward the rear of the cargo box, the load may dump unexpectedly and cause serious injury. When loading cargo, always position

the weight as far forward and as low as possible.

1. Select a level site to dump the cargo box. Do not attempt to dump or unload the vehicle while parked on an incline.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Lock the parking brake.

4. Dismount the vehicle.

5. Lower the tailgate.

96

OPERATION

6. Pull one of the two cargo box release levers q upward.

7. Firmly grasp one of the cargo box handles w and slowly lift the front of the cargo box to dump the cargo.

WARNING To prevent a crushing injury to hands and fingers, keep hands and fingers away from the lower front edge of the cargo box while lowering the box.

8. Lower the cargo box and make sure the release latch is secured.

9. Secure the tailgate.

WARNING Driving with the cargo box in the raised position can cause serious injury and

damage to the vehicle. The cargo box could close unexpectedly and injure the driver. The rear tires will also catch the rear of the bed, damaging the vehicle and creating hazardous driving conditions. Never drive this vehicle with the

cargo box in the raised position. Never leave this vehicle parked or unattended with the cargo box in the raised position.

97

OPERATION

TOWING THE TRACTOR If towing the Tractor is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for better mobility and to prevent damage to the belt. Always attach the tow cable to the front tow loop of the disabled Tractor. A rider must be on board to steer the disabled Tractor while towing.

WINCH GUIDE WINCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS These safety warnings and instructions apply if your vehicle came equipped with a winch or if you choose to add an accessory winch to your vehicle.

WARNING Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow

all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially designed synthetic rope. The term winch cable will be used for either unless noted otherwise.

1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to jerk a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 109.

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

10. Always apply your vehicles park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle to the winching vehicles centerline whenever possible.

12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

a. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable stack or accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.

101

WINCH GUIDE

b. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winchs rated capacity.

15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

16. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.

17. Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy gloves.

18. Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.

19. Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.

20. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

21. Never immerse or submerse your winch in water. Your dealer can provide service on your winch if this occurs.

22. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.

23. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch components.

24. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.

25. Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable to collect debris that will shorten the life of the cable.

102

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH OPERATION Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using your winch.

TIP Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually

need to use it in the field.

WARNING

Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Each winching situation is unique.

Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do. Proceed slowly and deliberately. Never hurry or rush during winching. Always pay attention to your surroundings. You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working. Always remember that your winch is very powerful. There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to

deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.

1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use. Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter) of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly. Promptly replace any worn or damaged cable.

2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.

3. Always apply your vehicles park brake and/ or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

103

WINCH GUIDE

4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

WARNING Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.

Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the load to the winch cable.

TIP A tow strap is NOT intended to stretch. A recovery strap is designed to

stretch.

104

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that

can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 109.

Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

WARNING Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always replace

POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other

qualified dealer.

If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce the load on the fairlead.

If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a tow strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to TreadLightly (treadlightly.org).

Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always replace damaged parts before using the winch.

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winchs pulling capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

105

WINCH GUIDE

8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use.

a. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure, always place a damper on the winch cable. A damper can be heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.

b. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is spooled out.

c. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the damper can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable. Always release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.

d. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible. Also, never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable during winch operation.

9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

10. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.

11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to shock load the winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 109. For your safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

a. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch cable.

b. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicles centerline.

c. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicles frame following instructions in this manual.

d. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.

e. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.

f. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction of winching.

g. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.

h. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the vehicle.

i. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without the help of the winch.

106

WINCH GUIDE

j. Detach the winch cable hook.

k. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the instructions in this manual.

12. Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the vehicle frame or hitch.

13. Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the winching vehicles engine run while operating the winch to prevent the battery from running low if winching for long periods.

14. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task.

a. Release the clutch on the winch.

b. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.

c. Re-engage the winch clutch.

d. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg) of tension using the hook strap.

e. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on the drum.

f. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable wedging itself between lower layers of winch cable.

WINCH CABLE CARE WARNING

Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE INJURY.

For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

107

WINCH GUIDE

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or replacement.

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is shown at right. Even after being straightened out, this cable has already been permanently and severely damaged. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that has been straightened out is shown at right. Even though it may look usable, the cable has been permanently and severely damaged. It can no longer transmit the load that it could prior to kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

A winch cable made of synthetic rope should be inspected for signs of fraying. Replace the cable if fraying is observed (shown below). Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition. Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers. Such an area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth or glazed. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

108

WINCH GUIDE

SHOCK LOADING WARNING

Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or shock loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high

loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to jerk a load with the winch. For example, never take up slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

WARNING SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (jogging). This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an accident.

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous. Similarly, never use elastic bungie cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock loading.

109

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY WARNING

Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this

manual.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

WARNING Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the

stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

COOLING SYSTEM The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, 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. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.

125

MAINTENANCE

RECOVERY BOTTLE COOLANT The recovery bottle fluid level can be viewed from inside the front right wheel well. Access the recovery bottle cap under the front box.

1. View the fluid level in the bottle.

2. If the level is low, remove the bottle cap and add coolant as needed. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).

3. Reinstall the cap.

4. Close and secure the front box and cover.

RADIATOR COOLANT 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, check the level in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.

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.

1. Access the pressure cap under the front box. See the Front Compartment section for details.

2. Remove the pressure cap.

3. Using a funnel, slowly add coolant through the radiator filler neck.

4. 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.

5. Close and secure the front box and cover.

126

MAINTENANCE

BRAKES BRAKE FLUID Check brake fluid levels for both brake systems before each ride. Always maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

The brakes should feel firm when theyre applied. Spongy or weak brakes may indicate a fluid leak or low fluid level. A low fluid level may also mean that brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Do not operate the vehicle with spongy or weak brakes. See your dealer for service.

WARNING Operating the Tractor with a spongy brake can result in loss of braking, which

could cause an accident. Never operate the Tractor with spongy-feeling brakes.

If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See the POLARIS Products section for part numbers.

WARNING An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which

could result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or removed. Do not overfill.

WARNING Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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. After opening a bottle of

brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.

127

MAINTENANCE

HAND BRAKE The master cylinder q is located on the left handlebar. Maintain the fluid level 6 mm below the top edge of the master cylinder. Do not overfill.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Make sure the handlebars are straight.

MAINTENANCE

BRAKE INSPECTION The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by applying the foot brake. The handlebar brake is also hydraulic. Both brake systems are self- adjusting.

Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal operation.

1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level.

2. Check the brake systems regularly for fluid leaks.

3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel.

4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage, and looseness. Replace the pads when the friction material is worn to 0.762 mm.

5. Check the security and surface condition of the disc. Clean any grease using a recommended brake cleaner or alcohol. Do not use spray lubricants or other petroleum-based products. If you discover any damage (cracks, excessive corrosion, warping) see your dealer for service before operating.

130

MAINTENANCE

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.

NOTICE Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of the adjuster

MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

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 decals. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:

Wheel bearings Radiator Transmission seals Cab and body panels Electrical components Switches and controls Fuel system components Labels and decals

155

MAINTENANCE

If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your POLARIS dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no charge.

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.

POLISHING THE VEHICLE POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the container.

POLISHING TIPS Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of

your vehicle. 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.

CHROME WHEEL CARE (IF EQUIPPED) Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, preserve wheel life and ensure a "like new" appearance for many years. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.

1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.

2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud, and other elements can cause corrosion.

3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive grade chrome polish.

4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.

REMOVING CORROSION If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as outlined above.

156

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. See the Washing the Vehicle section.

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 1. Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter. See the Air Filter

section.

2. 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)

157

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 11.5 oz. (29.544 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.

INSPECT AND LUBRICATE Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE Remove the battery and recharge it as outlined in the Battery Charging section. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.

STORAGE AREA / COVERS Set the tire pressure and safely support the vehicle with the tires slightly off the ground. 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.

ACCESSORIES Auxiliary power outlets provide 12-volt power for operating accessories. Accessory outlets are available for all models. POLARIS also has a wide range of additional accessories available for your ATV. Always install accessories that are approved for ATV use. Your dealer can assist.

TROUBLESHOOTING DRIVE BELT WEAR / BURN

POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Driving onto a pickup or tall trailer in high range

Use low range.

Starting out going up a steep incline

Use low range or turn around using the K-turn.

Driving at low RPM or ground speed (5-11 kmh)

Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently.

Insufficient warm-up at low ambient tempera- tures

Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission in neutral, advance the throttle to about 1/8 throttle in short bursts, 5 to 7 times. The belt will become more flex- ible and prevent belt burning.

Slow/easy clutch engage- ment

Use the throttle quickly and effectively.

Towing/pushing at low RPM/ low ground speed

Use low range only.

Utility use/plowing Use low range only.

Stuck in mud or snow Shift the transmission to low range. Carefully use fast, aggressive throttle application to engage clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover.

Climbing over large objects from a stopped position

Belt slippage from water or snow ingestion into the PVT system

Dry out the PVT. Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated leaking occurs.

Clutch malfunction See your authorized dealer.

Slippage from failure to warm up belt

Always warm up the belt by operating below 40 km/h for 1.5 km (8 km or more when temperature is below freezing).

Poor engine performance Check for fouled plugs or foreign material in gas tank or fuel lines. See your dealer.

Wrong or missing belt Install the recommended belt.

Improper break-in Always break in a new belt and/or clutch.

WARRANTY LIMITED WARRANTY POLARIS Industries Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS vehicle against defects in material or workmanship. POLARIS further warrants that the spark arrester in this product will meet the efficiency requirements of USFS standard 5100-1C for at least 1000 hours when subjected to normal use and when maintenance and installation are in accordance with POLARIS recommendations.

This warranty covers parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts and begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser. This warranty is transferable to another owner during the warranty period through a POLARIS dealer, but any such transfer will not extend the original term of the warranty. The duration of this warranty may vary by international region based upon local laws and regulations.

REGISTRATION At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer and submitted to POLARIS within ten days of purchase. Upon receipt of this registration, POLARIS will record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be your proof of warranty coverage. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy, please contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS. Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring trouble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or without proper dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.
