WARNING!
Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can
cause loss of consciousness or death. Never run an engine in an enclosed area.
Transporting the Vehicle
Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
NOTE:
After a ride, allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds before stopping the
engine. This will allow the turbo system to cool down.
2. Stop the engine. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the
transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
3. Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting. Secure the fuel
cap and seats. Ensure that the seats are attached correctly and are
not loose.
WARNING!
Cargo and other loose vehicle parts may fly off while transporting
this vehicle. Secure or remove all cargo, and inspect the unit for loose parts prior
to transport.
4. Always tie the frame of the POLARIS vehicle to the transporting
unit securely with suitable straps or rope. Do not attach tie straps to
the front control arm bolt pockets.
