SAFETY

Equipment Modifications

Your POLARIS vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as

directed.

WARNING! Modifying this vehicle in any way can change the top speed,

stability and handling performance of this vehicle. Modifications that increase

speed, decrease stability or change performance may present a greater risk to

inexperienced or younger operators and could result in loss of control and

serious injury or death. Use only POLARIS-approved accessories to modify this

vehicle. Review all vehicle changes with your child prior to operating.

The POLARIS limited warranty on your POLARIS vehicle will be terminated if

any non-POLARIS-approved equipment and/or modifications have been added

to the vehicle that increase speed or power.

European Vibration and Noise

The driver-perceived noise and hand/arm and whole body vibration levels of this

machinery is measured per prEN 15997.

The operating conditions of the machinery during testing:

The vehicles were in like-new condition. The environment was controlled as

indicated by the test procedure(s).

The uncertainty of vibration exposure measurement is dependent on many

factors, including:

• Instrument and calibration uncertainty

• Variations in the machine such as wear of components

• Variation of machine operators such as experience or physique

• Ability of the worker to reproduce typical work during measurements

• Environmental factors such as ambient noise or temperature

SAFETY

Safe Riding Gear

The driver and passenger must wear helmet, eye protection, gloves,

long-sleeve shirt, long pants, over-the-ankle boots and seat belt at all

times. Protective gear reduces the chance of injury.

Helmet

Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding this

POLARIS vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds estab-

lished safety standards.

Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) label.

Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania

bear the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists

of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the

distinguishing number of the country which has

granted approval. The approval number and serial

number will also be displayed on the label.

SAFETY

Safe Riding Gear

Eye Protection

Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection.

Whenever riding this POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof

goggles or use a shatterproof helmet face shield. POLARIS

recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure

protective eye wear is kept clean.

Gloves

Wear gloves for comfort and for protection from sun, cold weather and

other elements.

Boots

Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots for support and protection. Never ride

a POLARIS vehicle with bare feet or sandals.

Clothing

Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.

Rider Comfort

Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and

exhaust system can elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab

area. The condition occurs most frequently when a vehicle is being

operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high load

conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain

windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by

restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can

be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by varying speeds to

increase airflow.

SAFETY

Safety Warnings

Failure to operate this vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,

accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Heed all safety

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brake Pedal

Depress the brake pedal to slow

or stop the vehicle. Apply the

brakes while starting the engine.

Throttle Pedal

Push the pedal down to increase

engine speed. Spring pressure

returns the pedal to the rest

position when released. Always

check that the throttle pedal

returns normally before starting

the engine. Make sure there's

adequate throttle pedal freeplay.

See page 70 for throttle pedal adjustment procedures.

This vehicle is equipped with a throttle release switch, which is

designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle. If the throttle

cable should stick in an open position when the operator releases the

throttle pedal, engine speed will be limited to idle speed.

The throttle release switch limits engine speed in the event of a throttle

system malfunction. Modifications to the throttle release switch could

result in failure to perform as designed, which could result in an accident.

Do not attempt to modify the throttle control system or replace it with any

after market throttle mechanism. Always ensure that the throttle cable is

installed and properly routed to the throttle control.

OPERATION

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control,

accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and

understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s

manual.

Vehicle Break-in Period

The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is defined as 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 is as important as a proper break-in period.

Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in

more efficient performance and longer life for these components.

Perform the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will

damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not

operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three hours of

use.

Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious

engine damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute or

mix oil brands.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the

emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized

POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for

your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts for

emissions-related service, however equivalent parts can be used.

It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an

aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s

emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by

federal law.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance

identified in this owner’s manual.

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest,

most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of

important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When

inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS

parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be

used for emissions-related service.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on

page 106.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If

you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a

qualified dealer can perform these operations.

Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and

serviced more frequently.

Severe Use Definition

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed operation

• Extended idle

• Short trip cold weather operation

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold

weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or

crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise.

Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and

determine the cause. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug

firing end condition should be read after the engine is warmed up and

the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark plug

for correct color. See page 65.

A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear protective

gloves when removing a spark plug for inspection.

Spark Plug Condition

Normal Plug

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light 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.

Tip: 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 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, use

of non-recommended injection oil or incorrect throttle body

adjustments.

MAINTENANCE

Throttle System

Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in

an accident and lead to serious injury or death if the throttle pedal sticks during

operation.

Never start or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking or improperly operating

throttle pedal.

Immediately contact your POLARIS dealer or other qualified person for service if

throttle problems arise.

Always check the pedal for free movement and return before starting the engine

and occasionally during operation.

Throttle Freeplay

If the throttle pedal has excessive

play due to cable stretch or misad-

justment, it will cause a delay in

throttle response, especially at low

engine speed. The throttle may

also not open fully. If the throttle

pedal has no freeplay, the throttle

may be hard to control, and the

idle speed may be erratic.

Check the throttle pedal freeplay

at the intervals outlined in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart

beginning on page 53. Adjust the

freeplay if necessary.

Throttle Freeplay Inspection

1. Place the transmission in neutral. Set the parking brake.

2. Start the engine. Allow it to warm up thoroughly.

3. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before the engine

Brakes

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the

brake pedal. See page 34.

Always check brake pedal travel and the brake fluid reservoir level

before each use of the vehicle. When applied, the brake pedal should

feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low

brake fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. See page 73 for

brake fluid information.

If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including

excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and

repairs.

Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake pedal can result in loss of

braking, which could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death.

Never operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake pedal.

Brake Fluid

Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid

level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 94 for the part

numbers of POLARIS products.

After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.

Never store or use a partial bottle. 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.

Change the brake fluid every two

years and any time the fluid

becomes contaminated, the fluid

level is below the minimum, or if

the type and brand of the fluid in

the reservoir are unknown.

Access the brake fluid reservoir

through the left front wheel well.

1. Position the vehicle on a level

surface.

2. Place the transmission in

neutral. Set the parking

brake.

3. View the brake fluid level in

the reservoir. The level

contact your POLARIS dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement

safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no charge.

Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to

run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine

or exhaust system.

Polishing the Vehicle

POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture

polish for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the

instructions on the container.

Polishing Tips

• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the

finish of your vehicle.

• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or

reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the

finish.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

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.

Tip: 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 86.

Stabilize the Fuel

1. Fill the fuel tank.

2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel

Stabilizer or equivalent fuel treatments or stabilizers. 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.

Air Filter / Air Box

Inspect and clean or replace the air filter. See page 67. Clean the air box.

Drain the sediment tube.

Fluid Levels

Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53.

• Transmission fluid

• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

or contaminated)

Engine Oil

Change the oil. See page 60.

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 53.

Fog the Engine

1. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean or other

equivalent fuel treatment. Follow the instructions on the container.

Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several minutes so the Carbon

Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.

2. Remove the spark plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To

access the plug hole, use a section of clear 1/4” hose and a small

plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.

3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification. See page 65.

4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap. Do not

reinstall the cap onto the plug at this step.

5. Turn the engine over several times. 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 fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors

should be completely drained of gasoline.

7. Reinstall the spark plug cap to the spark plug.

Battery Maintenance

See pages 83-85 for storage and charging procedures.

Storage Area/Covers

Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. 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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Removal from Storage

1. Check the battery electrolyte level and charge the battery if

necessary. Install it in the vehicle. Make sure the battery vent hose is

routed properly and that it's not pinched or restricted in any way.

2. Make sure the spark plug is tight.

3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

4. Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection section

on page 38. Tightness of the bolts, nuts and other fasteners should

be checked by an authorized POLARIS dealer or other qualified

service facility.

5. Lubricate at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance

Chart beginning on page 53.

Transporting the Vehicle

Follow these procedures when

transporting the vehicle.

1. Place the transmission in neutral. Set

the parking brake.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Remove the key to prevent loss

during transporting.

4. Secure the fuel cap and seats. Ensure

that the seats are attached correctly

and are not loose.

NOTICE: 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.

5. Wrap the front tie strap through the

frame tubes, or attach a tie-down

hook around each of the tubes.

6. Wrap the rear tie strap around the

swing arm.

WARRANTY

U.S.A. EPA Emissions Limited Warranty

This emissions limited warranty is in addition to the POLARIS standard limited

warranty for your vehicle. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first

purchased, this emissions-certified vehicle is designed, built and equipped so it

conforms with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission regulations.

POLARIS warrants that the vehicle is free from defects in materials and workmanship

starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of

500 hours of engine operation, 5000 kilometers (3100 miles) of vehicle travel, or 30

calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. The warranty period

for ATVs less than 100cc emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by

original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 250 hours of engine operation,

2500 kilometers (1550 miles) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of

purchase, whichever comes first. This EPA emissions warranty period is extended for at

least as long as the standard factory warranty that Polaris provides on the vehicle as a

whole. The EPA emissions warranty period does not further extend if you purchase

additional warranty coverage in the form of a service contract or other paid warranty

extension, but emission-related parts may be covered subject to the terms of any such

paid service contract or paid warranty extension.

This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases the

vehicle's regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose

is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this

warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does

not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.

degrading engine/equipment performance. The exclusive remedy for breach of this

limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of

any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY

PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO

LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR

SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT,

NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF

CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT

FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY

PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS

WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow

limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply

if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or

workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or

improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any

WARRANTY

U.S.A. EPA Emissions Limited Warranty

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the

owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused

by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which

POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission

control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform

any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends

POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential

violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer

reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission

controls is prohibited by federal law.

California Residents

Certain POLARIS Off-Road Vehicles are available in 49-state and 50-state versions.

Only the 50-state models are certified for sale in California. The 50-state models

available for sale in California are identified by the letter “B” in the ninth position of the

model number (e.g., R16RTE87B). The POLARIS 50-state models are designed and

built with features such as a reduced cargo box capacity. Any modifications to these

features may be a violation of the applicable California regulations and may void this

limited emissions warranty offered by the manufacturer.
