SAFETY
Operator Safety
S
Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfa-
miliar terrain. Be alert to changing terrain conditions.
S
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery, or loose terrain.
S
Always follow proper turning procedures as described in this manu-
al. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds. Do not turn at excessive speeds.
S
Always have the ATV inspected by an authorized Polaris dealer if
it’s been involved in an accident.
S
Never operate on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
S
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills. Check the ter-
rain carefully before ascend a hill. Never climb hills with excessive-
ly slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open
the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go over
the top of a hill at high speed.
S
Always follow proper procedures for going downhill and for braking
on hills. Check the terrain carefully before you start down a hill.
Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed.
Avoid going down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle
to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight down the hill when pos-
sible.
S
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill.
Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your
weight to the uphill side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV
around on any hill until you’ve mastered (on level ground) the turn-
ing technique outlined in this manual. Avoid crossing the side of a
steep hill when possible.
