VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

The frame vehicle identification number (VIN) (1) and engine serial
number (2) are important for model identification when registering
your vehicle, when obtaining insurance, and when ordering
replacement parts. If your vehicle is stolen, these numbers are essential
to its recovery and identification.

NOTE:

Record your vehicle’s ID numbers in the spaces provided.

Remove the spare key and store it in a safe place. Your key can be
duplicated only by mating a Polaris key blank with an existing key.

NOTE:

If both keys are lost, see your dealer for ignition switch

replacement.
