Unauthorized Use of the Vehicle
Leaving the keys in the vehicle 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 key when the vehicle is not in use.
Hot Drive Systems
The motor and controller are very hot during and after use of the vehicle. Hot components can cause
burns and fire. Do not touch hot drive system components. Always keep combustible materials away
from the drive system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass. Always
inspect areas near the drive system after driving through tall grass, weeds, brush and other tall ground
cover. Promptly remove any grass or debris clinging to the vehicle.
Precautions During Maintenance
Always follow all safety instructions in the maintenance portion of this owner’s manual, as well as the
following:
• All battery and electrical service must be performed only by an authorized service facility. Your
POLARIS dealer can assist.
• Make sure the vehicle is properly immobilized before beginning any maintenance.
• Always block the chassis securely before working under the vehicle.
• Turn the key off and remove it from the vehicle.
