OPERATION
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new POLARIS Tractor is the first ten hours
of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of
gasoline. No single action on your part will increase the life and
performance of your Tractor more than following the procedures for a
proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive
components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for
these components.
Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during
the first three hours of use.
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See page 27.
2. Check the engine oil level. See page 80. Add oil if necessary.
3. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with
vehicle operation and handling.
4. Drive slowly. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained
idle.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined
on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 43.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or one month,
whichever comes first.
8. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25
hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)
Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the
break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in
period.
If a belt fails, always clean away all debris when replacing the belt.

59
OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter vehicle
handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these
precautions when hauling cargo.
• Read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the vehicle
warning labels.
• NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY of the vehicle. When
determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of
the operator, accessories, loads in the racks and the load on the trailer
tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum
weight capacity.
• REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN HAULING CARGO OR TOWING. Use extreme caution when applying
brakes. Avoid situations that require backing downhill.
• When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed, cargo and towed
load to maintain stable driving conditions.
• DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when carrying loads on
the front rack.
• CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACK AS POSSIBLE. Carrying a load
high on the rack raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less
stable operating condition. Reduce load weight when cargo is high. Secure
off-centered loads that cannot be centered and operate with extra caution.
• CARRYING A LOAD on only one rack may cause the vehicle to overturn.
Split the load between the front rack and rear rack, with 1/3 in the front and 2/
3 in the back. Do not exceed load capacities. See specifications beginning on
page 130.
• SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create
unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle.
• OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When
handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load
and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point
designated for your vehicle.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the
rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing
the vehicle to overturn.
• TOWING is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY. Operating a Tractor/trailer
combination on public roads is prohibited.
• TOWING SPEED should never exceed 16 km/h. Never exceed 8 km/h when
towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or
descending hills.

Towing Loads
Follow the instructions listed below before towing a trailer.
Stay clear from the area between the tractor and the trailed vehicle.
Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY. Operating a Tractor/trailer
combination on public roads is prohibited. See your POLARIS dealer
about configuring the vehicle to be certified to tow a trailer on-road. Do
not tow any trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
• Use the front hitch for vehicle recovery or towing only. Always
remove the front hitch before operating in forward gear.
• The combination of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must
not exceed the rear rack capacity.
• The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must
not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

WINCH GUIDE
These safety warnings and instructions apply if your vehicle came
equipped with a winch or if you choose to add an accessory winch to
your vehicle.
Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all
winch instructions and warnings in this manual.
Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially
designed synthetic rope. The term “winch cable” will be used for either
unless noted otherwise.
Winch Safety Precautions
1. Read all sections of this manual.
2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.
3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.
4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the
winch.
5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch
cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.
6. Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving
vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 71.
7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable and
load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while
operating the winch.
8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch
are not being used.
9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are
wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided
by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable
and move the load.
10. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to
hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if
needed.
WARNING
63
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Safety Precautions
11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of
the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch
cable at an angle to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever
possible.
12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
A. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack”
or accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at
one end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.
B. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 on page 69 to feed
and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.
13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the
winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.
14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s
rated capacity.
15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch
for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation,
stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes
before using it again.
16. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the
winch cable while winching a load.
17. Never let the winch cable run through
your hands, even if wearing heavy
gloves.
18. Never release the clutch on the winch
when the winch cable is under load.
19. Never use the winch for lifting or
transporting people.
64
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Safety Precautions
20. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.
21. Never immerse or submerse your winch in water. Take your winch
to your dealer for service if this occurs.
22. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.
23. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage
to winch components.
24. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in
use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized
persons.
25. Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable
to collect debris that will shorten the life of the cable.
65
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Operation
Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using
your winch.
Tip: Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually
need to use it in the field.
Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all
winch instructions and warnings in this manual.
Each winching situation is unique.
• Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do.
• Proceed slowly and deliberately.
• Never hurry or rush during winching.
• Always pay attention to your surroundings.
• You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working.
• Always remember that your winch is very powerful.
• There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able
to deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.
1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls
for any signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement
before each use. Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter)
of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has been used) for lift-
ing an accessory plow assembly. Promptly replace any worn or
damaged cable.
2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.
3. Always apply your vehicle’s
park brake and/or park
mechanism to hold the vehicle
in place during winching. Use
wheel chocks if needed.

WINCH GUIDE
Winch Operation
4. Always use the hook strap when
handling the hook.
WARNING! Never put your fingers into
the hook. This could lead to SEVERE
INJURY.
A. Attach the hook itself onto the
load or use a tow strap or chain
to secure the load to the winch
cable.
Tip: A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to
stretch.
WARNING! Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive
energy that can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 71.
B. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the
winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.
WARNING! Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always
replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS
replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer.
C. If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the
winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and
reduce the load on the fairlead.
D. If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a
tow strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp
cables and chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember
to TreadLightly® (treadlightly.org).
E. Before operating the winch, be sure
that the safety latch on the winch
cable hook is fully seated when the
load is attached.
F. Never operate your winch with a
damaged hook or latch. Always
replace damaged parts before using
the winch.

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.
6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.
7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winch’s pulling
capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch
cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction
provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the
winch cable and move the load.
8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to
ensure safe winch use.
A. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable
failure, always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A damper can be
a heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb
much of the energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching.
Even a tree limb can help as a damper if no other items are available to
you.
B. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is
spooled out.
C. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the
damper can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable.
Always release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the
damper.
D. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible.
Also, never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable
during winch operation.
9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the
winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.
10. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or
worn.
68
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Operation
11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when
using the winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch-
equipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the
winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle. See the
Shock Loading section on page 71. For your safety, always follow
these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:
A. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch
cable.
B. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s
centerline.
C. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s
frame following instructions in this manual.
D. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.
E. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.
F. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the
direction of winching.
G. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.
H. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free
the vehicle.
I. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself
without the help of the winch.
J. Detach the winch cable hook.
K. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the
instructions in this manual.
12. Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the
winch cable to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or
cargo rack. Vehicle damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to
a strong portion of the vehicle frame or hitch.
69
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Operation
13. Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching
vehicle. Let the winching vehicle’s engine run while operating the
winch to prevent the battery from running low if winching for long
periods.
14. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch
for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation,
stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes
before using it again.
15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it
may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch
drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task.
A. Release the clutch on the winch.
B. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.
C. Re-engage the winch clutch.
D. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45
kg) of tension using the hook strap.
E. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the
winch cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch
cable on the drum.
F. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself
between lower layers of winch cable.
70
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Cable Care
For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the
cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your
authorized POLARIS dealer.
WARNING! Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and
SEVERE INJURY.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or
loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if
any part needs repair or replacement.
2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn
or kinked winch cable.
A. A kinked winch cable made of
wire rope is shown at right. Even
after being “straightened out,”
this cable has already been
permanently and severely
damaged. Promptly discontinue
use of a winch cable in this
condition.
B. A kinked winch cable made of
wire rope that has been
“straightened out” is shown at
right. Even though it may look
usable, the cable has been
permanently and severely damaged. It can no longer transmit the load
that it could prior to kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable
in this condition.
C. A winch cable made of
synthetic rope should be
inspected for signs of fraying.
Replace the cable if fraying is
observed (shown at right).
Promptly discontinue use of a
winch cable in this condition.
D. Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers. Such
an area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth or glazed.
Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

WINCH GUIDE
Shock Loading
WARNING! Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic,
or “shock” loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength
and cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high
loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.
Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both
wire-rope and synthetic-rope winch cables.
1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never
take up slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in
an attempt to move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It gener-
ates high winch cable loads that may exceed the strength of the
cable. Even a slowly moving vehicle can create large shock loads in
a winch cable.
WARNING! SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.
2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”).
This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates
excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading.
3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an
object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when
towing at slow speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the
towing force high on the vehicle. This can cause instability of the
vehicle and possibly lead to an accident.
72
WINCH GUIDE
Shock Loading
4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are
designed to stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the
recovery strap is released if a winch cable fails making the event
even more hazardous. Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords
for winching.
5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other
transportation vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading
that can cause damage to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.
Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads
produced by the winch motor when operated from a stationary
vehicle. Always remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT
designed for shock loading.
73
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Maintenance and Service Safety
WARNING! Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings
in this manual.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or
kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including
mounting hardware.
2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your
winch.
3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery
connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch.
4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including
the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at
your authorized POLARIS dealer.
5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other
winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.
6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade
polymer rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store.
Although they may look similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer
rope not designed for winch use will stretch and store excessive
energy when winching.
WARNING! Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release
all of the stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Before performing the fluid
change, allow the vehicle to sit for at least 30 minutes.
2. Thoroughly clean the areas around and on the ADC reservoir and
bleeder valves (one on each side of the differential).
3. Remove the reservoir cap and diaphragm assembly. Use a shop
towel or suction tool to remove debris from the fluid and reservoir.
TIP: Debris in the reservoir may result in inadequate bleeding and reduced
performance of the system.
4. Fill the reservoir to the maximum line with fresh recommended
fluid.
5. Remove the protective caps from the bleeder valves.
6. Slowly loosen one of the valves (turn counter-clockwise) and allow
fluid and trapped air to flow from the fitting. Close the valve when
clean fluid begins to flow. Repeat this step for the remaining valve.
IMPORTANT: Close the bleeder valves before the reservoir fluid level drops
below the minimum fill line. Adding fluid to an empty reservoir will result in
trapped air. If the level drops below the minimum line, add fluid to the maximum
line and repeat step 6 before proceeding.
7. Torque the valves to 80 in. lbs. (9 N-m). Reinstall the valve caps.
8. Add fresh recommended fluid to the reservoir until the level is
between the minimum and maximum marks. Make sure the
reservoir is free of debris.
9. Reinstall the cap securely. Clean up any drips or spills.

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 premix
or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/
coolant and distilled water. POLARIS Antifreeze is already premixed
and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 132 for the part
numbers of POLARIS products.
Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the
freeze protection required in your area.
Recovery Bottle Coolant
Some coolant level drop on new machines is
normal, as the system is purging itself of trapped
air. Add coolant as needed.
Check the coolant level in the radiator any time
the recovery bottle has run dry. Add coolant as
needed.
1. Check the coolant level when the
fluid is cool.
2. Remove the left side panel. See page
100.
3. View the coolant level. Maintain the
coolant level between the minimum
and maximum marks on the bottle
(when the fluid is cool).

MAINTENANCE
Brake Fluid
Check brake fluid levels for both brake systems before each ride.
Always maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
The brakes should feel firm when they're applied. Spongy or weak
brakes may indicate a fluid leak or low fluid level. A low fluid level
may also mean that brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Do not
operate the vehicle with spongy or weak brakes. See your dealer for
service.
Operating the Tractor with a spongy brake can result in loss of braking, which
could cause an accident. Never operate the Tractor with spongy-feeling brakes.
If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 132 for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could
result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level.
Do not overfill.
Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as
fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not
extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To
ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed
whenever the cover is loosened or removed. Do not overfill.
Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic,
meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the
boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade
and the possibility of accident or severe injury. After opening a bottle of brake
fluid, always discard any unused portion.

Spark Plug Recommendations
Refer to the specifications section beginning on page 130 for the
recommended spark plug type and gap for your vehicle. Torque spark
plugs to specification.
Spark Plug Inspection
Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. Check the spark
plug firing end condition after the engine has been warmed up and the
vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark
plug for correct color.
Normal Spark Plug
The normal insulator tip is tan or brown. There will be few combustion
deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the
proper type and heat range for the engine and the service.
The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating,
caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body
adjustments.
Wet Fouled Spark Plug
The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing
end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the
electrodes are not worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil
consumption, use of non-recommended oil or incorrect throttle body
adjustments.

Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)
Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion,
preserve wheel life and ensure a "like new" appearance for many years.
Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas)
are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome
wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.
1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use
abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.
2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and
other elements can cause corrosion.
3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive
grade chrome polish.
4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each
polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome
finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.
Removing Corrosion
If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT
grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool
until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as
outlined above.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the
protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never
start the engine during the storage period.
Clean the Exterior
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See
page 123.
Stabilize the Fuel
1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean fuel treatment or POLARIS Fuel
Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the
recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel
systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons,
rings, valves and exhaust systems.
3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to
disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.
Oil and Filter
Change the oil and filter. See page 82.
Air Filter / Air Box
1. Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter. See page
104.
2. Clean the air box.
3. Clean or replace the breather filter. See page 105.
4. Drain the sediment tube.

Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 75.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)
• ADC fluid (change every two years)
• Rear gearcase (if equipped)
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark
or contaminated)
• Coolant (test strength/fill)
Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean. See page 126.
2. Remove the spark plug. Pour 30-45 ml of engine oil into the plug
holes.
3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap.
Reinstall the caps.
5. Turn the engine over several times using electric start. Oil will be
forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the
cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.
6. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel
lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 75.
Battery Storage
See pages 120-121 for storage and charging procedures.
Storage Area/Covers
1. Set the tire pressure and safely support the vehicle with the tires
slightly off the ground.
2. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated.
3. Cover the vehicle with a genuine POLARIS cover. Do not use
plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to
prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
Accessories
Auxiliary power outlets provide 12-volt power for operating
accessories. Accessory outlets are available for all models. POLARIS
also has a wide range of additional accessories available for your
vehicle. Always install accessories that are approved for Tractor use.
Please see your POLARIS dealer.

during transporting.
5. Always tie the frame of the Tractor to
the transporting unit securely with
suitable straps or rope. Do not attach
tie straps to the front A-arm bolt pockets, racks or handlebars.
Towing a Disabled Vehicle
If towing the vehicle is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for
better mobility and to prevent damage to the belt.
Always attach the tow rope to the frame of the Tractor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Drive Belt Wear/Burn
Possible Cause Solution
Driving onto a pickup or
tall trailer in high range
Use low range.
Starting out going up a
steep incline
Use low range or turn around using the K-turn (see page
52).
Driving at low RPM or
ground speed (5-11 kmh)
Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently.
Insufficient warm-up at
low ambient tempera-
tures
Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission
in neutral, advance the throttle to about 1/8 throttle in
short bursts, 5 to 7 times. The belt will become more flex-
ible and prevent belt burning.
Slow/easy clutch engage-
ment
Use the throttle quickly and effectively.
Towing/pushing at low
RPM/low ground speed
Use low range only.
Utility use/plowing Use low range only.
Stuck in mud or snow Shift the transmission to low range. Carefully use fast,
aggressive throttle application to engage clutch.
WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control
and vehicle rollover.
Climbing over large
objects from a stopped
position
Belt slippage from water
or snow ingestion into the
PVT system
Dry out the PVT. See page 117. Inspect clutch seals for
damage if repeated leaking occurs.
Clutch malfunction See your POLARIS dealer.
Slippage from failure to
warm up belt
Always warm up the belt by operating below 40 km/h for
1.5 km (8 km or more when temperature is below freez-
ing).
Poor engine performance Check for fouled plugs or foreign material in gas tank or
fuel lines. See your dealer.
Wrong or missing belt Install the recommended belt.
Improper break-in Always break in a new belt and/or clutch. See page 42.

WARRANTY
LIMITED WARRANTY
POLARIS Sales Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a TWO
YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS vehicle against
defects in material or workmanship. POLARIS further warrants that the spark arrestor in
this product will meet the efficiency requirements of USFS standard 5100-1C for at least

accordance with POLARIS recommendations.
This warranty covers parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts
and begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser. This warranty is
transferable to another owner during the warranty period through a POLARIS dealer,
