OPERATION

Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. Be aware

that a passenger can obstruct your view.

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.

NOTE:

Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. Use the

override button with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly

increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Apply just enough

throttle to maintain a desired speed.
