SAFETY SAFETY TRAINING Safety training is a top priority for POLARIS. POLARIS strongly encourages you and any family members who will be riding this vehicle to take a training course ROHVA (Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association) provides both an online safety e-course and a hands-on safety course. To access this valuable training, visit www.rohva.org. Your POLARIS vehicle is considered an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area. We strongly advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance program outlined in your owner's manual. This preventive maintenance program is designed to ensure that all critical components on your vehicle are thoroughly inspected at specific intervals. For more information about recreational off-road vehicle safety in the United States, visit www.rohva.org or call POLARIS at 1-800-342-3764.

SAFE RIDING GEAR The driver and all passengers must wear helmetq, eye protectionw, long- sleeve shirte, glovesr, long pantst, over-the-ankle bootsy, and seat belt at all times. Protective gear reduces the chance of injury.

SAFETY

HELMET Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding this POLARIS vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. 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.

EYE PROTECTION Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding this POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof helmet face shield. POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept clean.

GLOVES Wear gloves for comfort and for protection from sun, cold weather and other elements.

BOOTS Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots for support and protection. Never ride a POLARIS vehicle with bare feet or sandals.

CLOTHING Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.

RIDER COMFORT Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by varying speeds to increase airflow.

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. Clutch and drive belt break-in periods vary depending on operating conditions. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle

or high speeds during the first three hours of use.

Use of any improper oils may cause serious engine damage. POLARIS Premium 4 Synthetic Oil is specifically formulated for your 4-cycle engine

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN 1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 29. Always exercise

extreme caution whenever handling gasoline. 2. Check the oil level. See page 111. Add the recommended oil as needed to

maintain the oil level in the safe operating range. 3. Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on page 58. 4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes. 5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle. 6. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the

daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 54. 7. Carry only light loads. 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.

53

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. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the engine compartment.

STANDARD BREAK-IN Drive at slower speeds for the first 50 miles (80 km) of operation. Carry only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.

SAND / DUNE BREAK-IN Drive in low gear for the first 5 miles (8 km) of operation. Avoid prolonged low speed operation at high throttle. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.

descending a hill.

Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo box. A passenger must always be seated in a passenger seat with seat belt

secured.

Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry a specific capacity. Reduce speed and allow a greater distance for braking when carrying cargo. Loads should be centered and carried as low as possible in the box. For stability on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo. Exercise caution if the cargo load extends over the side of the box. Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on warning labels and in this manual. Never exceed the maximum capacities specified for your vehicle. See page 14.

67

OPERATION

BELT LIFE To extend belt life, use low gear in the following conditions: when hauling or towing heavy cargo. when consistently operating at speeds less than 35 MPH (56 km/h) in hard- pulling terrain, such as mud, rocks or sand/dune environments.

TOWING WARNING

Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability.

The tow loopq on the rear of the vehicle is provided for recovery use ONLY. Tow a vehicle ONLYof equal or lesser size and weight.

When towing a disabled RZR vehicle, place the disabled vehicle's transmission in neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.

TOWING A RZR Towing this vehicle is not recommended. Always transport the vehicle on a trailer or flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. See page 142. If towing a disabled vehicle is unavoidable, place the disabled vehicles transmission in neutral. Tow the shortest distance possible. Do not operate faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h).

OPERATION

WINCH GUIDE 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 INJURYor 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.

WINCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 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 78. 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: 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.

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

69

WINCH GUIDE

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.

WINCH OPERATION Read theWinch 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.

70

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURYor 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. 4. Always use the hook strapq when handling the hook.

71

WINCH GUIDE

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

a. 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.

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 78.

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

72

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE INJURYor 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.

c. 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.

d. 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).

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

f. 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.

73

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 a 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.

74

WINCH GUIDE

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 78. 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.

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.

75

WINCH GUIDE

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

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

INJURY.

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.

76

WINCH GUIDE

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. a. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is shown below. Promptly

discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

b. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that has been straightened out is shown below. 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.

c. A winch cable made of synthetic rope should be inspected for signs of fraying. Replace the cable if fraying is observed. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

d. 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.

77

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 INJURYor DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOTabsorb 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 INJURYor 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.

78

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY WARNING

Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE INJURYor 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.

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 NOTalike. 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 INJURYor DEATH.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS NOISE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so may affect compliance with U.S.A. EPA noise control requirements (40 CFR 205) and local noise level requirements.

OPERATION ON PUBLIC LANDS IN THE U.S.A. Your POLARIS vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1C. Federal law requires that this spark arrester be installed and functional when the vehicle is operated on public lands. Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. is regulated by 43 CFR 420. Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Federal regulations can be viewed online at www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.

CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases are forced back to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All exhaust gases exit through the exhaust system.

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Exhaust emissions are controlled by engine design. An electronic fuel injection (EFI) system controls fuel delivery. The engine and EFI components are set at the factory for optimal performance and are not adjustable. The emissions label is located on the left front frame of the vehicle.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002. This vehicle complies with the EMC requirements of European directives 97/24/ EC and 2004/108/EC.

MAINTENANCE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts for emissions-related service, however equivalent parts can be used. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicles emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law. Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in this owners manual. Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related service. Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a qualified dealer can perform these operations. Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and serviced more frequently.

SEVERE USE DEFINITION Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand Racing or race-style high RPM use Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation Extended idle Frequent short trip operation in cold weather (engine frequently does not operate long enough to reach full operating temperature)

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

116

MAINTENANCE

SPARK PLUG CONDITION 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.

TIP 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.

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. Fouling may be caused by excessive oil or by frequent short trips, especially in cold weather.

FUSE / RELAY CENTER If the engine stops or will not start, if the power steering stops working (if equipped), or if you experience other electrical failures, a fuse may need replacement. Locate and correct any short circuits that may have caused the blown fuse, then replace the fuse. The fuse/relay centerq is located under the drivers seat (XP) or under the left rear passenger seat (XP 4).

COOLING SYSTEM The engine coolant level is maintained by a remote pressurized tank system. The remote pressurized tank is connected to both radiators and provides a single pressure cap and fill point for the vehicle. The pressure tank is designed to contain a volume of air above the coolant level. As coolant operating temperature increases the coolant level in the pressure tank will rise and push out air past the pressure cap. As the engine coolant temperature decreases the coolant level in the pressure tank will lower and draw air back into the tank through the pressure cap.

118

MAINTENANCE

TIP Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and maintain cold coolant level as

recommended by adding coolant to the pressure tank.

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.

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. See the POLARIS products section for the part numbers. 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.

RADIATORS AND COOLING FAN Always check and clean the screens and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 84. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiators by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiators or behind the cooling fan. Interference with radiator air flow can lead to overheating and consequent engine damage.

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

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

RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL / CHANGING COOLANT This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair. If the overflow bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected.

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.

119

MAINTENANCE

1. Remove the hood. See page 37. 2. Slowly remove the radiator pressure capq

3. View the coolant level through the opening. 4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed. 5. Before reinstalling the pressure cap, bleed the system of trapped air.

Remove the engine access panel behind the seats and use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the bleed screwe slightly, allowing the air to escape. Slowly add additional coolant to the radiator until air no longer escapes and only coolant flows from the bleed hole. Then tighten the bleed screw.

6. Reinstall the pressure cap.

TIP 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.

120

MAINTENANCE

OVERFLOW BOTTLE COOLANT LEVEL Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 84. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). If the overflow bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Remove the hood. See page 37. 3. View the coolant level in the overflow bottlew.

4. Remove the cap and use a funnel to add coolant as needed to maintain the level between the two marks.

5. 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 POLARIS 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 or death.

Do not modify any component of the PVTsystem. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVTsystem has been

precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.

The PVTsystem rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch components. As the owner, you have the following responsibilities for

your own safety and the safety of others: Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when replacing the belt.

See your dealer or other qualified service person as recommended in the owners manual and on safety labels.

This PVTsystem is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product.

Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.

BELT REPLACEMENT / DEBRIS REMOVAL If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT ducting and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.

WARNING Failure to remove ALL debris when replacing the belt could result in vehicle

damage, loss of control and severe injury or death.

1. Allow hot components to cool before performing this procedure.

122

MAINTENANCE

2. Remove the engine access panel and thoroughly clean all debris from the aluminum debris bracketq and from the engine compartment.

3. Remove the clutch cover screws and open the clutch cover. (It does not have to be removed from the vehicle.) Remove all debris wrapped in and around the PVTsystem.

TIP Use the shock/clutch tool from the tool kit to slightly open the sheaves to aid in

debris removal and belt installation.

Insert hooked end of tool Apply force to opposite end of tool to spread sheaves

123

MAINTENANCE

4. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct passagew.

5. Check for signs of damage to seals on the transmission and engine. If any seals appear to be damaged, your vehicle requires prompt service. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

TIP Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVTcomponents

(belt, cover, etc.)

PVT DRYING There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating.

1. Remove the clutch cover drain plug. 2. Allow the water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug. 3. Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes. 4. Start the engine. 5. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the

belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 10 seconds.

6. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes. Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.

7. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process. 8. Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible. Your POLARIS dealer or

authorized person can assist.

124

MAINTENANCE

FILTER SYSTEMS INTAKE PRE-FILTERS The engine intake pre-filterq is located on the right side of the vehicle. The clutch air intakew is located on the left side of the vehicle.

Inspect the engine pre-filter before each use of the vehicle to ensure adequate air flow. If necessary, remove the pre-filter and clean with soapy water. Dry with low pressure compressed air. Periodically inspect the clutch (PVT) air intake for debris and clean as needed to ensure adequate air flow.

TIP When washing the vehicle, always avoid spraying water directly toward the PVT intake duct. See page 139 for recommended washing procedures.

AIR FILTER Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

1. Remove the cargo box access panel. 2. Clean all dirt and debris from the air box area. 3. Unlatch the four (4) air box cover clipsq and carefully remove the air box

cover.

125

MAINTENANCE

4. Inspect the air filterw and air box for dirt, debris or water.

5. To remove the filter, slide the filter toward the passenger's side of the vehicle. 6. With the filter removed, clean the intake tube and air box thoroughly. Wipe

well with a clean, dry cloth.

NOTICE Dirt or debris in the intake tube could result in severe engine damage. Always

clean all dirt and debris from the intake tube before installing the filter.

7. Reinstall the air filter (if clean) or install a new air filter (if soiled). Do not attempt to clean the air filter.

MAINTENANCE

SPARK ARRESTER WARNING

Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrester could result in serious injury or death.

Do not perform clean-out immediately after the engine has been run, as the exhaust system becomes very hot. Serious burns could result from contact with the exhaust components. Allow components to cool sufficiently before proceeding.

Wear eye protection and gloves. Never operate without the spark arrester. Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of consciousness or death in a very short time.

Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon. A plugged spark arrester will affect engine performance. Clean daily when driving in mud and water. Replace a cracked or damaged arrester before operating.

1. Remove the arrester retaining boltq and nutw. 2. Remove the arrester from the end of the mufflere. 3. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrester screenr. A synthetic brush

may melt if components are warm. If necessary, blow debris from the screen with compressed air.

4. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace a worn or damaged screen.

5. Reinstall the arrester. Torque bolt to 9-11 ft. lbs. (12-15 Nm).

127

MAINTENANCE

BRAKES WARNING

Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake pedal can result in loss of braking, which could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death. Never

operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake pedal.

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake pedal. Always check brake pedal travel and the brake fluid reservoir level before each use of the vehicle. When applied, the brake pedal should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low brake fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. See the Brake Fluid section for further details. If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

BRAKE INSPECTION 1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. 2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel. 3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. 4. Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corrosion, warping or other

damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.

WARNING Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types of products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the brake

pad and caliper.

5. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. Change pads when worn to 0.030 (0.762 mm)q.

128

MAINTENANCE

BRAKE FLUID Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.

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. Access the brake fluid reservoir through the left front wheel well. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Place the transmission in PARK. 3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the

maximumq and minimumw level lines.

4. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add brake fluid to the upper line.

5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

129

MAINTENANCE

SUSPENSION SETTINGS FRONT / REAR SPRING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT The factory setting is appropriate for nearly all riding conditions. If desired, the suspension may be adjusted to maintain vehicle clearance height when carrying loads.

To adjust the preload, do the following: 1. Elevate the vehicle to allow the suspension to fully extend. 2. Turn the adjusting ring to the left to increase preload for a higher ride height.

INSPECT AND LUBRICATE Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 84.

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 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug holes, use a section of clear 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. See page 116. 4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Do not reinstall

the caps onto the plugs 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.

141

MAINTENANCE

6. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.

7. Reinstall the spark plug caps to the spark plugs.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE See page 136 for storage and charging procedures.

FUSE BOX Remove the fuse box cover during storage.

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.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE 1. Charge the battery if necessary. 2. Make sure the spark plug is tight. Reinstall the fuse box cover if it was

removed for storage. 3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel. 4. Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection section on page

WARRANTY LIMITED WARRANTY POLARIS Industries Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a SIX MONTH LIMITED WARRANTYon 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.

WARRANTY COVERAGE AND EXCLUSIONS LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES This POLARIS limited warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in material or workmanship.

U.S.A. EPA EMISSIONS LIMITED WARRANTY This emissions limited warranty is in addition to the POLARIS standard limited warranty for your vehicle. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-certified vehicle is designed, built and equipped so it conforms with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission regulations. POLARIS warrants that the vehicle is free from defects in materials and workmanship that would cause it to fail to meet these regulations. The warranty period for off road vehicles 100cc or greater emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 500 hours of engine operation, 5000 kilometers (3100 miles) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. The warranty period for ATVs less than 100cc emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 250 hours of engine operation, 2500 kilometers (1550 miles) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. This EPA emissions warranty period is extended for at least as long as the standard factory warranty that Polaris provides on the vehicle as a whole. The EPA emissions warranty period does not further extend if you purchase additional warranty coverage in the form of a service contract or other paid warranty extension, but emission-related parts may be covered subject to the terms of any such paid service contract or paid warranty extension. This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases the vehicle's regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.

160

WARRANTY

For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:

Air-induction system Fuel System

Ignition system Exhaust gas recirculation systems

The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions: After treatment devices Crankcase ventilation valves

Sensors Electronic control units

The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporative emissions: Fuel Tank Fuel Cap Fuel Line Fuel Line Fittings Clamps* Pressure Relief Valves* Control Valves* Control Solenoids* Electronic Controls

Vacuum Control Diaphragms* Control Cables* Control Linkages* Purge Valves Vapor Hoses Liquid/Vapor Separator Carbon Canister Canister Mounting Brackets Carburetor Purge Port Connector

*As related to the evaporative emission control system. Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance. The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTYARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OFANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITYAND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.

161

WARRANTY

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS. Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God. Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS Certain POLARIS Off-Road Vehicles are available in 49-state and 50-state versions. Only the 50-state models are certified for sale in California. The 50- state models available for sale in California are identified by the letter B in the ninth position of the model number (e.g., R16RTE87B). The POLARIS 50-state models are designed and built with features such as a reduced cargo box capacity. Any modifications to these features may be a violation of the applicable California regulations and may void this limited emissions warranty offered by the manufacturer. The California evaporative emissions control system limited warranty statement below applies to your Off Highway Recreational Vehicle in California if the vehicle is equipped with an evaporative emission control system and is labeled with a Vehicle Evaporative Emissions Control Information label indicating that the vehicle conforms to California evaporative emissions regulations applicable to new off-road sport vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, or off-road utility vehicles. These vehicles are referred to as OHRV-EVAP below.
