SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle.
1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide
smoothly into the buckle. A click indicates that it's securely latched.
2. Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it
releases freely.
3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage,
including cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat
belt does not operate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or
replaced by an authorized dealer.
4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap
and water. Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents. Rinse the entire
length of the belt webbing. Use a garden hose to flush out the retractor and
latch housings regularly.
FUEL CAP
The fuel tank filler cap is located on
the right-hand side of the vehicle near
the passenger seat. When refueling,
always use either leaded or unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump octane
number of 87 R+M/2 octane. Do not
use fuel with ethanol content greater
than 10 percent, such as E-85 fuel.
CAB NETS (IF EQUIPPED)
Riding in this vehicle without using the cab nets (or doors, if equipped) increases
the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Cab nets
(or doors) must be used by both operator and passengers at all times. Make
sure all latches are secure before operating the vehicle.
Always inspect cab nets and latches for tightness, wear and damage before
each use of the vehicle. Use the strap adjusters to tighten any loose straps.
Promptly replace worn or damaged cab nets and latches with new cab nets and
latches. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
