SAFETY

Operator Safety

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings contained in this manual can result

in serious injury or death.
A Polaris ATV is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate. This

vehicle handles differently than other vehicles, such as

motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly,

even during routine maneuvers like turning, or driving on hills or

over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.
Read and understand your owner’s manual and all warnings

before operating a Polaris ATV.

Age Restrictions

This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. Operation is prohibited

for anyone under 16 years of age.

Know Your Vehicle

As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for your personal

safety, the safety of others, and the protection of our environment.

Read and understand your owner’s manual, which includes valuable

information about all aspects of your vehicle, including safe operating

procedures.

Safety Training

ATV safety training is a top priority for Polaris. When you purchased

your new ATV, your dealer instructed you on the authorized ATV

RiderCourse

available to you and your eligible family members.

This training is included in the purchase price of your ATV. Polaris

strongly encourages you and your eligible family members who will be

riding the ATV to take the ATV

RiderCourse

. You were also

provided with printed materials that explain safe operating procedures.

You should review this information on a regular basis.
If you purchased a used Polaris ATV, you can take the ATV

RiderCourse

by calling ATV Enrollment Express at (800) 887-2887

or by visiting www.atvsafety.org. Purchasers of a used Polaris ATV

will be charged for this training.
A Polaris ATV is an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all

laws and regulations concerning the operation of the ATV 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.
