first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight and moving
force of the vehicle, you and your cargo, together with any other vehicles in your
party.
26
SAFETY
Always check with local authorities and residents to confirm ice conditions and
thickness over your entire route. Vehicle operators assume all risk associated
with ice conditions on frozen bodies of water.
OPERATING IN LIGHTNING
Avoid operating this vehicle when lightning could occur unless the vehicle is
equipped with a fully enclosed cab. Rubber tires, rubber handgrips and a foam
seat will not protect a rider from lightning strikes. Always seek safe shelter when
lightning is imminent.
POOR VISIBILITY
CAUTION
Operating this vehicle in darkness or inclement weather could result in a
collision or accident, especially if operating on a road or street. Use caution
and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain
and darkness. Clean headlights frequently and replace burned out headlamps
promptly.
PHYSICAL SKILLS
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical
skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehicle
have an increased risk of overturn and loss of control.
HOT EXHAUST SYSTEMS
WARNING
Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle.
Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system
components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust
system.
Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass and when
traveling through muddy conditions. Always inspect the underside of the
vehicle and areas near the exhaust system after driving through tall grass,
weeds, brush, other tall ground cover, and muddy conditions. Promptly remove
any grass, debris or foreign matter clinging to the vehicle and pay particular
attention to the exhaust system area.
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE VEHICLE
Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by
someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper
training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition
key when the vehicle is not in use.
27
SAFETY
TRAILER HITCH WARNING (IF EQUIPPED)
If using a hitch, ensure the receiver does not exceed a two inch drop or raise.
WARNING
When trailering with your ATV, be aware that the exhaust is located above the
hitch ball receiver and the trailer hitch. During operation of the ATV, the
exhaust will produce hot exhaust gas that should not be inhaled and that may
elevate the surface temperature of surrounding surfaces, including trailer
surfaces (e.g., trailer hitch, trailer tongue, trailer walls, . . . etc.). To reduce the
risk of inhaling exhaust gases and to avoid risk of burn or injury, shut off your
engine and allow time for the exhaust gases to dissipate and for the surfaces
surrounding the exhaust to cool, including the trailer surfaces, before
connecting or disconnecting a trailer. To reduce the potential for the trailer hitch
or trailer tongue from getting too hot, do not use a receiver hitch with a rise of
more than two inches.
OPERATING A DAMAGED VEHICLE
CAUTION
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any rollover or
other accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for
possible damage, including (but not limited to) brakes, throttle, and steering
systems.
MAINTENANCE AFTER ACCIDENT
If a Tractor has been involved in an accident, always have an authorized dealer
inspect the entire vehicle for possible damage, including (but not limited to)
brake, throttle and steering systems.
OCCUPANT PROTECTION DEVICE
This vehicle is not equipped with an Occupant Protection Device capable of
protecting the operator from falling objects. Please be aware of your
surroundings at all times when operating this vehicle.
EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS
Your POLARIS vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as
directed. Modifications to your vehicle may negatively impact vehicle stability.
Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with any
modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. This vehicle may
become less stable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of
control may occur at higher speeds.
28
SAFETY
Do not install any non-POLARIS-approved accessory or modify the vehicle for
the purpose of increasing speed or power. Any modifications or installation of
non-POLARIS-approved accessories could create a substantial safety hazard
and increase the risk of bodily injury.
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.
The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers,
blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics
of the vehicle. Use only POLARIS-approved accessories, and familiarize
yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
THROTTLE LEVER
WARNING
Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle controls could
cause an accident. Never start or operate an ATV that has a sticking or
improperly operating throttle. Immediately contact your POLARIS dealer or
other qualified person for service if throttle problems arise.
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result
in an accident if the throttle lever sticks during operation. Always check the
lever for free movement and return before starting the engine. Also check
occasionally during operation.
Engine speed and vehicle movement
are controlled by pressing the throttle
lever
q
. The throttle lever is spring
loaded. Engine speed returns to idle
when the lever is released.
WARNING
Modifications to the electronic throttle control 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 mechanisms.
43
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
BRAKE LEVER
WARNING
Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking,
which could cause an accident. Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling
brake lever. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the
vehicle.
Squeeze the brake lever
q
toward the
handlebar to apply the front and rear
brakes. These brakes are hydraulically
activated disc type brakes that are
activated by only one lever. Always test
brake lever travel and master cylinder
fluid level before riding. When
squeezed, the lever should feel firm.
Any sponginess would indicate a
possible fluid leak or low master
cylinder fluid level, which must be
corrected before riding. Contact your
POLARIS dealer or other qualified
service facility for proper diagnosis and
repairs.
BRAKE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Brake Monitoring System monitors brake fluid
pressure while the brake lever is depressed.
If brake fluid pressure is lost, or a drop in pressure is
detected, the brake warning light will illuminate.
NOTICE
The brake monitoring system is very sensitive. Resting your fingers on the
brake lever may cause the brake warning indicator to illuminate. It is not
recommended to rest hand on the brake lever while the vehicle is in motion. If
the brake warning indicator lamp falsely illuminates, depress the brake lever
for 3 seconds to reset the indicator lamp. If the brake warning light remains
illuminated, and the brake lever feels soft, check the brake fluid level, inspect
the brake lines for leaks. See your dealer or other qualified technician for
assistance. Do not operate the vehicle with a malfunctioned brake system.
44
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE FLUID
WARNING
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which
could result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do
not overfill.
Check the brake fluid in the master cylinder before each ride.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Position the handlebars so the
master cylinder
q
is level.
3. View the brake fluid level through
the indicator window
w
on the top of
the master cylinder. The eye will
appear dark when the fluid level is
full. When fluid is low, the eye will be
clear.
4. If the fluid level is low, remove the cover screws and add fluid to the fill line.
Do not overfill. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.
5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to specification.
TORQUE
Brake Fluid Cover Screws:
7 in-lbs (8 N·m)
WARNING
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 brake failure, which could result in an accident. After
opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
45
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
PARKING BRAKE

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
BLUETOOTH® (IF EQUIPPED)
The Bluetooth® functionality
allows users to pair their
phones with the vehicle’s
digital gauge. This function
allows users to receive call
and text alerts while
operating the vehicle.
If a text message is received
while the vehicle is moving
faster than 2 KPH, only the
sender’s name is shown
onscreen.
If you are browsing any of the Bluetooth® menus and the vehicle starts to move
faster than 2 KPH, the menu will automatically display VEHICLE MOVING. If
you attempt to access Bluetooth® menus while the vehicle is moving faster than
2 KPH, the screen will display VEHICLE MOVING momentarily, and then it will
redirect to the options menu.
PAIRING YOUR PHONE TO THE GAUGE
Use the following procedure to pair your phone with the vehicle’s digital gauge.
NOTICE
Bluetooth® functionality is compatible with both iOS® and Android® phones.
For iOS® phones, you must go to the Settings option and enable notifications.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING
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 the first 25 hours of
operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full 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.
Use of any improper oils may cause serious engine damage. POLARIS PS-4
Full Synthetic 5W-50 4-Cycle Oil is specifically formulated for your 4-cycle
engine.
89
OPERATION
ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See the Fuel Tank section for details. Always
exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See the Oil Check section for reference. Add the
recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating
range.
3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize
yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the
daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or
250 miles.
9. 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)
Always break in the clutches and drive belt of new vehicles, as well as after a
belt replacement.
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. 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 any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.
90
OPERATION
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Failure to inspect and verify that the ATV is in safe operating condition before
operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the ATV before each
use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.

your left hand. Step onto the footrest and place your right foot and leg across the
seat. Sit astride the vehicle.
If boarding from the right side of the vehicle, grasp the right handlebar grip with
your right hand. Step onto the footrest and place your left foot and leg across the
seat. Sit astride the vehicle.
DISMOUNTING
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK (or neutral).
3. Stand on the footrests and dismount the vehicle, holding onto the handlebar
for support.
92
OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well- ventilated area.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lock the parking brake.
TIP
The starter interlock will prevent the engine from starting if the transmission is
in drive gear and the brake is not engaged.
IMPORTANT
The starter interlock is disabled if the brake warning indicator lamp is
illuminated. The vehicle can start without applying brakes, but shift lever must
be in the Park or Neutral position.
4. Sit on the vehicle and move the engine stop switch to RUN.
TIP
Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.
5. Turn the ignition key past the ON position to engage the starter. Activate the
starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the key when the engine
starts.
6. If the engine does not start, return the key to the OFF position and wait five
seconds before attempting to start again. Activate the starter for another five
seconds if necessary. Repeat this procedure until the engine starts.
NOTICE
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the key to the OFF position.
4. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
93
OPERATION
WARNING
A rolling vehicle can cause serious injury. Always place the transmission in
PARK before stopping the engine.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface. When parking inside a garage or other
structure, be sure that the structure is well ventilated and that the vehicle is
not close to any source of flame or sparks, including any appliance with pilot
lights.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Engage the parking brake (if equipped).
5. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
6. Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising oil level
could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water or excess fuel in
the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the crankcase can lead to
engine damage and must be drained. Water accumulation increases as outside
temperature decreases.
See your dealer for engine heater kits, which provide quicker warm-ups and
easier starting in colder weather.

2. Perform the pre-ride inspection.
3. Place the transmission
in PARK.
4. Lock the brake holding
latch.
5. Mount the vehicle from
the left side.
6. Sit upright with both
feet on the footrests
and both hands on the
handlebars.
7. Start the engine and
allow it to warm up.
8. Shift the transmission into gear.
9. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
10.Release the brake holding latch.
11. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.
12.Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level
surfaces.
DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER
1. Never carry more than one passenger on a 2-up ATV.
2. Do not carry a passenger on a 2-up ATV until you have at least two hours of
driving experience with the vehicle.
3. Never allow anyone under 12 years of age to ride as a passenger on a 2-up
ATV. Make sure any passenger is tall enough to comfortably and safely
reach the grab handles and footrests.
4. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear, including an
approved helmet with a rigid chin guard.
5. Perform the pre-ride inspection.
6. Lock the parking brake.
95
OPERATION
7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the
passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make sure the
brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless whenever a
passenger mounts or dismounts.
8. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both feet
on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times.
The passenger should never hold on to the operator. Never secure a
passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.
9. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on board. Allow
more time and distance for braking.
10.Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability. Avoid
unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a passenger to fall
from the vehicle.
11. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board.
12.Make sure the passenger understands the importance of "active riding."
When hillclimbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger should shift body
weight in the same manner in which the driver shifts body weight. For
example, the passenger should lean to the inside of a turn along with the
operator and should always lean uphill when climbing and descending hills.
TURNING THE VEHICLE
Both rear wheels drive equally at all times. This means that the outside wheel
must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning, and the inside
tire must slip traction slightly.
1. Slow down.
2. Never turn quickly when carrying cargo.
3. Steer in the direction of the turn.
4. Keep both feet on the footrests.
5. Lean your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight
on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between
the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning
technique should be used for turning in reverse.
6. Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds.
WARNING
Turning improperly can result in vehicle overturn. Never turn abruptly or at
sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
96
OPERATION
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
WARNING
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or rollover (if tires regain traction
unexpectedly). When operating on slippery surfaces such as ice or loose
gravel, reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or
during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
3. Engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose traction.
NOTICE
Severe damage to drive train may occur if the 4X4 is engaged while the wheels
are spinning. Allow the rear wheels to stop spinning before engaging 4X4, or
engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose traction.
4. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp
turns, which can cause skids.
5. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the
handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.
97
OPERATION
DRIVING UPHILL
Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly terrain.
Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Whenever traveling
uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Always engage 4WDC before ascending or descending a hill.
2. Drive straight uphill.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 15°
4. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.
5. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
6. Keep both feet on the footrests.
7. Shift body weight uphill.
8. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Opening the throttle
suddenly could cause the ATV to flip over backwards.
9. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
10.Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may include
quick dismounting of the vehicle.
98
OPERATION
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
2. Always engage 4WD or 4WDC mode (if equipped) before ascending or
descending a hill.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is 15°
4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend
a hill with the transmission in neutral.
5. Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.
6. Drive straight downhill. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side.
7. Shift body weight uphill.
8. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing. Applying the brakes too firmly may
cause the rear wheels to lock, which could result in loss of control.
99
OPERATION
DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING)
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss
of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.
If crossing a sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill.
3. Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight toward the hill while
keeping your feet on the footrests.
4. If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or
dismount on the uphill side immediately!
100
OPERATION
TURNING AROUND ON A HILL (K-TURN)
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the
K-turn to turn around.
1. Stop and lock the parking brake while keeping body weight uphill.
2. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 (if equipped) before ascending or
descending a hill. See the Switch Location section for details.
3. Leave the transmission in forward and shut off the engine.
4. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is
pointing straight uphill.
5. Staying uphill of the vehicle, turn the handlebars full left.
6. While holding the brake lever, release the parking brake lock and slowly
allow the vehicle to roll around to your right until it's pointing across the hill or
slightly downward.
7. Lock the parking brake. Remount the vehicle from the uphill side, keeping
body weight uphill. Start the engine with the transmission still in forward.
8. Release the parking brake and proceed slowly, controlling speed with the
brake lever, until the vehicle is on more level ground.
101
OPERATION
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
NOTICE
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after
operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart. The following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil,
demand drive fluid and all grease fittings.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after
operating in water, service is required before starting the engine. Your
POLARIS dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle
in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Vehicle
Immersion section of this manual, and take the vehicle in for service at the first
opportunity.
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth
equal to the bottom of the footrests.
Follow these procedures
when operating through
water:
1. Determine water
depths and current
before entering water.
2. Choose a crossing
where both banks have
gradual inclines.
3. Avoid operating
through deep or
fast-flowing water.
4. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while
driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.
If it’s unavoidable to enter water deeper than the footrest level:
• Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
• Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements.
• Maintain a steady rate of speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops. Do not
make sudden throttle changes.
102
OPERATION
DRIVING OVER OBSTACLES
Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:
1. Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
2. Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for hazards
such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.
3. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not
all obstacles are immediately visible.
4. Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees.
5. Always have a passenger dismount before operating over an obstacle that
could cause a fall from the vehicle or vehicle tipover.
103
OPERATION
DRIVING IN REVERSE
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.
2. Always avoid backing downhill.
3. Back slowly.
4. Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
5. Avoid turning at sharp angles.
6. Never open the throttle suddenly.
7. Do not use the override switch unless additional wheel speed is required for
vehicle movement. Use the override with caution as rearward vehicle speed
is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Operate the
throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed.
NOTICE
Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may cause fuel to
build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.
104
OPERATION
PARKING ON AN INCLINE
Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these
precautions:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side.
OPERATING IN LIGHTNING
Avoid operating this vehicle when lightning could occur unless the vehicle is
equipped with a fully enclosed cab. Rubber tires, rubber handgrips and a foam
seat will not protect a rider from lightning strikes. Always seek safe shelter when
lightning is imminent.
105
OPERATION
HAULING CARGO
WARNING
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 stated load capacity for this vehicle. When determining
the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator,
passenger, accessories, loads in the rack or box 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.
• WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION on models with front and rear racks should be 1/3
on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. Carrying loads on only one rack
increases the possibility of vehicle overturn.
• CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads
high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a
less stable operating condition.
• 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.
• HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use
extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain
or situations that may require backing downhill.
• 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 unless your vehicle is approved for
on-road operation.
• 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.
106
OPERATION
1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your vehicle on warning
labels and in the Specifications section of this manual.
2. On models with front and rear racks, cargo weight should be evenly
distributed ( 2/3
q
on the rear and 1/3
w
on the front) and mounted as low
as possible.
3. All Models:
NEVER exceed 80 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 34 kg and/or front
cargo loads are above 17 kg.
4. 2–Up Models:
2-Up Models: NEVER exceed 80 km/h while carrying a passenger.
5. X2 Models:
NEVER exceed 16 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 91 kg. Make sure
the cargo box dump latch is securely latched before loading and operating.
Unintentional dumping will result if weight is placed in the rear of the box and
the latch is not secured.
6. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to
maintain stable driving conditions.
7. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
8. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.
9. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing
loads. Balance, handling, and control may be affected.

WINCH GUIDE
WINCH SAFETY
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.
WARNING
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 121.
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.
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.
113
WINCH GUIDE
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 of Winch Operation 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.
20.Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a
vertical load.
21.Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.
22.Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch
components.
23.Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to
prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.
24.Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable to collect
debris that will shorten the life of the cable.
114
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.
WARNING
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 lifting 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.
4. Always use the hook strap when handling
the hook.
115
WINCH GUIDE
WARNING
Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.
• 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 121.
• 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, or other
qualified dealer.
116
WINCH GUIDE
• 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.
• 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 Tread Lightly℠
(treadlightly.org).
• Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch cable
hook is fully seated when the load is attached.
• 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 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.
117
WINCH GUIDE
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.
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 121. 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.
118
WINCH GUIDE
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.
119
WINCH GUIDE
WINCH CABLE CARE
WARNING
Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE
INJURY.
For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with
genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS
dealer, or other qualified person.
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 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.
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.
A winch cable made of synthetic rope
should be inspected for signs of fraying.
Replace the cable if fraying is observed
(shown below). Promptly discontinue
use of a winch cable in this condition.
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.
120
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 generates 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.
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.

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, or other qualified person.
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.

manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s emission controls.
Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by law.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in
this owner’s manual. Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in
safe, reliable condition. 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
191. 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. Maintenance intervals in the following
chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of
approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be
inspected and serviced more frequently.
SEVERE USE DEFINITION
Severe use is defined as:
• Frequent immersion in mud, water, or sand
• Frequent or prolonged operation in dusty environments
• Short trip cold weather operation
• Racing or racing-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle

COOLING SYSTEM
The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system.
The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck,
the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess
coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery
bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled)
coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the pressure cap, and into the
radiator.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging
itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by
adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This
antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See
the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.
137
MAINTENANCE
RECOVERY BOTTLE COOLANT
The recovery bottle fluid level can be viewed from inside the front right wheel
well. Access the recovery bottle cap under the front box.
1. View the fluid level in the bottle.
2. If the level is low, remove the bottle cap and add coolant as needed. Maintain
the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle
(when the fluid is cool).
3. Reinstall the cap.
4. Close and secure the front box and cover.
RADIATOR COOLANT
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we
recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh
Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.
Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,
replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. If the recovery bottle has
run dry, check the level in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.
CAUTION
Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the
engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the
pressure cap.
1. Access the pressure cap under the front box. See the Front Compartment
section for details.
2. Remove the pressure cap.
3. Using a funnel, slowly add coolant through the radiator filler neck.
4. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow
the recovery system to function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide
the correct replacement part.
5. Close and secure the front box and cover.
138
MAINTENANCE
BRAKES
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.
WARNING
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 the POLARIS Products
section for part numbers.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
139
MAINTENANCE
HAND BRAKE
The master cylinder
q
is located on the
left handlebar. Maintain the fluid level 6
mm below the top edge of the master
cylinder. Do not overfill.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Make sure the handlebars are
straight.
2. View the fluid level through the indicator window (eye)
w
on the top of the

MAINTENANCE
BRAKE INSPECTION
WARNING
Brake components may be hot with prolonged use and can cause burns. Allow
sufficient time after use for the brake components to cool and use protective
gloves when inspecting the brake.
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by applying the
foot brake. The handlebar brake is also hydraulic. Both brake systems are
self-adjusting.
Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good operating
condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal operation.
1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level.
2. Check the brake systems regularly for fluid leaks.
3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel.
4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage, and looseness. Replace the pads
when the friction material is worn to 0.762 mm.
5. Check the security and surface condition of the disc. Clean any grease using
a recommended brake cleaner or alcohol. Do not use spray lubricants or
other petroleum-based products. If you discover any damage (cracks,
excessive corrosion, warping) see your dealer for service before operating.
142
MAINTENANCE
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.
NOTICE
Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of the adjuster

CLEANING AND STORAGE
WASHING THE VEHICLE
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components.
NOTICE
High water pressure may damage components. POLARIS recommends
washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage
plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a garden hose
and a pail of mild soap and water.
1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first and the
lower parts last.
2. Rinse with clean water frequently.
3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
WASHING TIPS
• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.
• Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.
• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
• 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.
If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning (not recommended),
exercise extreme caution. The water may damage components and could
remove paint and decals. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:
• Wheel bearings
• Radiator
• Transmission seals
• Cab and body panels
• Electrical components
• Switches and controls
• Fuel system components
• Labels and decals
167
MAINTENANCE
If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, 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.
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.
168
MAINTENANCE
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 the
Washing the Vehicle section.
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.
OIL AND FILTER
Change the oil and filter. See the Engine Oil section.

contaminated)
• Coolant (test strength/fill)
169
MAINTENANCE
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 plugs and add 1–1.5 oz. (29.5–44 cc.) of engine oil. To
access the plug holes, use a section of clear 6 mm (1/4”) hose and a small
plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. Do this
carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities
into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak.
3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each 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. Reinstall the spark plug caps.
7. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and
injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
INSPECT AND LUBRICATE
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery and recharge it as outlined in the Battery Charging section.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
STORAGE AREA / COVERS
Set the tire pressure and safely support the vehicle with the tires slightly off the
ground. 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.
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 ATV. Always install accessories that
are approved for ATV use. Your dealer can assist.

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.
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. Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated
leaking occurs.

against defects in material or workmanship. POLARIS further warrants that the
spark arrester in this product will meet the efficiency requirements of USFS
standard 5100-1C for at least 1000 hours when subjected to normal use and

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

ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS. Initial
dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring
