procedures for operating on slippery surfaces

as described in this owner's manual. See the

New Operator Driving Procedures section for

details.

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) seat belts, rollover protection

devices, brakes, throttle, and steering systems.

OPERATING THROUGH WATER

Operating through deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of traction, loss of

control, rollover or accident. Never operate in fast-flowing water or in water that

exceeds the floor level of the vehicle.

Always follow proper procedures for operating in water as described in this

owner’s manual.

Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the

brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help

dry out the pads.

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.

SAFETY

IMPROPER CARGO LOADING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly may cause changes in

stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.

• Always follow the instructions in this owner’s manual for carrying cargo.

• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.

• Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.

• Reduce speed when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow a greater

distance for braking.

OPERATING ON FROZEN BODIES OF WATER

Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle and/or the operator fall through

the ice. Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have

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.

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.

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.

SAFETY

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.

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.

SAFETY

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.

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

RIGHT-HAND CONTROL

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

. 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.

DRIVELINE MODE SWITCH

The driveline mode switch

controls

the All Wheel Drive (AWD) system. Use

this switch to change the driveline

modes between Turf Mode, 2WD, AWD,

and ADC. The vehicle automatically

engages AWD when operating in

reverse if the driveline mode is set to

AWD.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

BRAKES

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

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.

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

level.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

3. View the brake fluid level through the indicator window

on the side of the

master cylinder. The window will appear dark when the fluid level is at MAX.

When fluid level is at the MIN mark, only the lower half of the indicator will be

dark. If the entire indicator window is clear, the master cylinder is empty of

fluid.

4. If fluid level is below the MIN mark, remove the cover screws and add fluid to

the fill line. Do not overfill. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.

IMPORTANT

Operating the ATV with brake fluid levels below the MIN mark may cause poor

braking performance. If fluid levels are consistently low, it could indicate a leak

somewhere in the brake system. Always ensure the master cylinder reservoir

has the recommended amount of brake fluid. Do not operate if brake fluid is

below the MIN line.

5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to specification.

TORQUE

Brake Fluid Cover Screws

17.7 in-lbs (2 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.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

BRAKE HOLDING LATCH

WARNING

Operating the ATV while the brake holding latch is engaged could result in an

accident or fire. Always check to be sure the latch is disengaged before

operating.

To lock the parking brake, do the following:

1. Place the transmission in

PARK.

2. Squeeze and release the

brake lever two or three

times, then squeeze and

hold.

3. Push the brake holding latch

forward to engage the

lock.

4. Release the brake lever.

5. To release the brake holding latch, squeeze and release the brake lever. It

will return to its unlocked position.

NOTICE

The brake holding latch may relax if left on for a long period of time. Always

block the wheels to prevent rolling. Always block the wheels on the downhill

side of the ATV if leaving it parked on a hill. Another option is to park the ATV in

a sidehill position. Never depend on the brake holding latch alone if the ATV is

parked on a hill. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.

AUXILIARY FOOT BRAKE

WARNING

Never back down a hill. Applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill

may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.

Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not aggressively apply the

auxiliary brake when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide

sideways, causing loss of control and serious injury or death.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the main

brake system. Should the main system fail, use the auxiliary foot brake

The auxiliary foot brake is located on the inside of the right footrest. Operate this

brake with your right foot. If the rear wheels slide while using the auxiliary brake,

reduce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear wheels without skidding.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

Check the brake fluid level frequently for the auxiliary

brake system. The reservoir is located under the front

storage box.

Maintain the fluid level between the maximum and

minimum marks. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.

STUCK BRAKE

This ATV is designed to prevent riders from driving through their brakes or

overheating the brake system in the event of a stuck brake. If the brakes are

engaged and the system detects pressure on the throttle, power will be limited to

the vehicle and a scrolling message will appear on the gauge: “RELEASE

BRAKES”.

In the event of this message, do the following:

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

1. Bring vehicle to a full stop.

2. Check the brakes to ensure the brake lever is not stuck and the brake

holding latch is unlocked.

3. Once brakes are disengaged, the message will clear and the fault will be

saved in the historic code.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR

The transmission gear selector is located on the right side of the vehicle. To shift

gears, brake to a complete stop. When the engine is idling, move the lever to the

desired gear.

H: High Gear

L: Low Gear

N: Neutral

R: Reverse

P: Park

NOTE

Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving

could cause transmission damage.

Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in PARK

and lock the parking brake.

TIP

To extend belt life, use low forward gear when pulling a heavy load at less than

seven miles per hour for extended periods and when operating uphill at a slow

speed.

qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for possible damage.

11. Never operate the ATV on a frozen body of water unless you have

independently verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight

and moving force of the ATV, you and your cargo, together with any other

vehicles in your party.

OPERATION

12.Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible

materials away from the exhaust system.

13.Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent

unauthorized use.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE

Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance between your

vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area. Communicate to

oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehicles in your group. When

stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the trail as far as possible to allow

others to pass safely.

KNOW YOUR RIDING AREA/TREAD LIGHTLY

Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this

vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle.

Find out where the designated riding areas are by contacting your POLARIS

dealer, a local riding club, or local officials.

Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road enthusiast,

you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor example) for

others to follow. Tread Lightly

. Operate with respect for the terrain, avoid

littering, and always stay on the designated trails.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DRIVING PROCEDURES

NEW OPERATOR DRIVING PROCEDURES

1. Wear protective riding gear. See the Safe Riding Gear section.

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.

OPERATION

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

OPERATION

DRIVING IN REVERSE

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, which can

result in serious injury or death. Always follow these precautions when hauling

cargo:

REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING

WHEN HAULING CARGO.

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 rack or box and the load on the trailer

tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum

weight capacity.

CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should be 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on

the rear rack. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and

cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. 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. Adjust suspension springs

preload accordingly to the vehicle load. See details of adjustment procedure in

"Maintenance" section.

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.

DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when carrying loads on the

front rack.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS.

The vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 kph) while towing a load on a

level surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 mph (8 kph) when towing

loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.

OPERATION

HAULING CARGO GUIDELINES

1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your ATV on warning labels

and in the specifications section of this manual

2. Cargo weight should be evenly distributed (1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on

the rear rack) and mounted as low as possible.

3. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to

maintain stable driving conditions.

4. NEVER exceed 62 MPH (100 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 125

lbs (57 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 50 lbs. (23kg). NEVER exceed

50 MPH (80 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 250 lbs (114 kg) and/or

front cargo loads are above 100 lbs. (46 kg).

5. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.

6. Slow down.

7. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.

8. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing

loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.

TOWING LOADS

Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. Remove the hitch from the ATV

when not towing a trailer. If towing a load, reduce rear rack cargo weight by the

amount of tongue weight. Strictly follow the instructions outlined in the operator’s

manual of the mounted or trailed machinery or trailer. Never operate the

combination tractor — machine or tractor — trailer unless all instructions have

been followed.

• 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.

• Whatever the vehicle is towing, always stay clear of the area between the

vehicle and the towed object.

NOTICE

Using an improper hitch or exceeding the maximum tongue weight capacity

can result in serious damage to the vehicle and will void your ATV warranty.

Never install a hitch longer than 13 cm (5.11”). Never install automotive

accessories on your POLARIS ATV. Always install POLARIS-approved (or

equivalent) accessories designed for ATV use.

OPERATION

TOWING THE TRACTOR

If towing the Tractor is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for better

mobility and to prevent damage to the belt. Always attach the tow cable to the

front tow loop of the disabled Tractor. A rider must be on board to steer the

disabled Tractor while towing.

TRAILERING YOUR VEHICLE

Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Secure the fuel cap, oil cap, and seat.

4. Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.

5. Use suitable straps or rope to secure the vehicle to the front tow hook

and

rear tow bracket

. Do not attach tie straps to the front A-arm bolt pockets,

racks, or handlebars.

OPERATION

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 103.

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.

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.

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.

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 103.

• 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.

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.

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 103. 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.

100

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.

101

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.

102

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

103

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.

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 EU law 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 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

201. 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

107

MAINTENANCE

ELEVATING THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE

Some service procedures require elevation of the vehicle. Always position the

vehicle on a firm, level surface before elevating. Do not position a jack or jack

stand under any components other than the frame.

Use an appropriate lift or floor jack. This vehicle is not equipped with dedicated

jacking points. Place the floor jack at the front (or rear) of the vehicle, directly

under the center of the unit. Make sure the floor jack makes contact only with the

frame of the vehicle while lifting

Do not allow the vehicle to remain elevated on a floor jack. After elevating, place

jack stands under the frame on each side of the floor jack, then lower the floor

jack.

POWER STEERING UNIT

If your model is equipped with power steering, frequently clean the areas around

and on the power steering unit to allow proper cooling. Clean these areas

thoroughly.

STEERING ASSEMBLY

The steering assembly of the ATV should be checked periodically for loose nuts

and bolts. If loose nuts and bolts are found, see your authorized dealer or other

qualified service facility before operating the vehicle.

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.

RECOVERY BOTTLE COOLANT

The recovery bottle fluid level can be accessed from the front left wheel well.

130

MAINTENANCE

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.

131

MAINTENANCE

BRAKES

HAND BRAKE

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by moving the

single brake lever toward the handlebar. These brakes are self- adjusting.

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

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.

The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good

operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal

operation.

1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level. See the Master Cylinder/Brake

Fluid section for details.

2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.

3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel.

4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. Replace brake

pads when they are worn to .030” (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,

MAINTENANCE

PVT SYSTEM

WARNING

Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury

or death.

Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its

strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been

precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of

balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.

The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on

clutch components. Extensive engineering and testing has been conducted to

ensure the safety of this product. However, as the owner, you have the

following responsibilities to make sure this system remains safe:

• Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for

and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when

replacing the belt.

• See your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, for service and repair

assistance.

• This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not

install it in any other product.

• Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.

The basic operation of the POLARIS PVT system is dependent on engine speed

and vehicle torque requirements. As engine speed increases, the force exerted

on the movable drive sheave by the flyweights also increases. This, in turn,

increases the amount of pinch applied to the drive belt. Similarly, if the engine

speed decreases, the amount of centrifugal force decreases, reducing the

amount of belt pinch.

On POLARIS ATVs, the approximate gear ratio difference between high and low

range is 1:2.25. This difference in gearing affects the operation of the PVT,

especially at speeds less than 7 MPH (11 km/h), due to the system's

dependence on engine speed.

For example, when operating at a ground speed of 3 MPH (5 km/h) in low range,

the engine speed would be around 3000 RPM. This is well above the

engagement speed of 1600 - 1800 RPM. However, in high range at 3 MPH (5

km/h), the engine would be running at only 1500 RPM. Whenever operating this

close to the engagement speed, the engine may be running at a speed too low

to provide the pinch needed to prevent belt slip. Belt slip is responsible for

creating the excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and

causes outer clutch covers to fail.

147

MAINTENANCE

The air temperature in the clutch cover is substantially reduced by using low

range while operating at low ground speeds. Reducing the temperature inside

the clutch cover greatly extends the life of the PVT components (belt, cover,

etc.).

PVT DRYING

There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the PVT

system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely. Reinstall the

drain plug.

3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in PARK.

4. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the

belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 5

seconds.

5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the transmission to

low range.

6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process. Your vehicle

requires service as soon as possible, which your authorized dealer can

provide.

MAINTENANCE

6. Connect and tighten the negative (-) black cable. Torque to specification.

7. Verify the battery cables are properly routed.

BATTERY STORAGE

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove

the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the

sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and

recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

POLARIS recommends maintaining battery charge by using a POLARIS battery

trickle charger or by charging once a month using the battery charge port

The Polaris offered battery trickle charger can be left connected during the

storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops

below a pre-determined point. See the Polaris Products section for the part

number.

IMPORTANT

Polaris recommends using a trickle charger that shuts off automatically when

the battery is fully charged. If you are not using a trickle charger that

automatically shuts when the battery is fully charged, make sure to monitor the

battery charge level and disconnect the charger when the battery is fully

charged.

151

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

When using a battery trickle charger, always place the charger on the ground,

or on a suitable elevated surface. Never place the charger on the vehicle or let

it hang from the battery charge port while plugged in.

BATTERY CHARGING

Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of this battery.

The battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been fully charged at the

factory. Never pry the caps off or add any other fluid to this battery.

The single most important thing about maintaining the battery is to keep it fully

charged. Use a voltmeter to measure DC voltage to determine the battery state

of charge.

WARNING

An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always

watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very

warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.

For a refresh charge, follow all instructions carefully.

1. The battery should be disconnected from a load or charger for at least two

hours before checking voltage. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter. A

fully charged battery will register 12.6 V or higher.

2. If the voltage is less than 12.6 volts, recharge the battery at 2 amps or less

until the battery charger indicates charge complete.

3. When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacturer's

instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the

following guidelines via the table below.

VOLTAGE TABLE

Always verify battery condition before and 1-2 hours after the end of charging.

LEAD ACID CONVENTIONAL BATTERIES

ACTIVATION

NOTE

A Polaris battery purchased from a Polaris dealership should be activated at

time of purchase by the dealer.

• Do NOT activate the battery unless it will be put into regular service within 30

days. Bulk acid should be used to activate the battery.

• Always remove the sealing cap from the vent elbow before activating the

battery. Never put the sealing cap back onto the battery. The gas pressure

can cause the battery to rupture.

• Let the battery sit for 30 minutes after you add the initial electrolyte. Once

absorbed, fill the battery with additional electrolyte to the upper line of the

electrolyte level indicator. This is the only time that electrolyte should be

added to the battery.

• Once the battery is fully charged, replace cap plugs by hand. Do NOT use a

tool to install the cap plugs.

CHARGING

• The battery must be fully charged before use or battery life will be significantly

reduced by 10-30% of the battery's full potential.

• Nominal voltage is 12.6 to 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls

below 12.5V, charge it immediately, or the battery service life and vehicle

performance may be affected.

• Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 12V 1.5 AMP Convertible (PN

2830511) charger (or a similar charger), which can be ordered through your

normal parts channel.

• Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 10% of the battery’s

amp-hour rating.

155

MAINTENANCE

CAMBER AND CASTER

The camber and caster are non-adjustable.

SUSPENSION SETTINGS

FRONT AND REAR SPRING PRELOAD

With the exception of MacPherson strut models, the front and rear suspensions

of your ATV are preload adjustable to five possible settings. The spring preload

is factory-set to the lowest setting and is appropriate for almost all riding

conditions.

Adjust the suspension to maintain vehicle handling, brake performance, and

clearance height while carrying cargo loads.

When adjusting the suspension of your ATV, heed the following rules:

• Always return the suspension to the factory (lowest) setting after the cargo

load is removed from the vehicle as the increased suspension height will

negatively affect vehicle stability when operating without cargo.

• Always apply the same adjustment setting to all four wheels (MacPherson

strut models excluded).

Adjust the shock springs by rotating the adjustment cam clockwise to increase

spring tension or counterclockwise to decrease tension.

Cam

High Tension

Low Tension

WARNING

Uneven adjustment settings may cause poor vehicle handling, resulting in

severe injury or death. Always adjust both the left and right spring preload

settings equally. Your Polaris dealer, or other qualified technician, can assist.

159

MAINTENANCE

HANDLEBARS

The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.

WARNING

Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of the adjuster

block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or loosening of the

handlebars, resulting in loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow the

adjustment procedures exactly, or see your POLARIS dealer for service.

1. Remove the upper headlight pod.

2. Loosen the four handlebar bolts.

3. Adjust the handlebar to the desired height. Be sure the handlebars do not

contact the gas tank or any other part of the machine when turned fully to the

left or right.

4. Torque the front two bolts to specification, then torque the rear two bolts. A

gap of up to 1/8" (3 mm) will remain at the rear of the clamp blocks.

TORQUE

Handlebar bolts:14 ft-lbs +/- 10% (19 Nm +/- 10%)

5. Reinstall the headlight pod.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

WASHING THE VEHICLE

NOTICE

The use of a high pressure washer may damage the instrument cluster. Wash

the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose using mild soap. Do not use alcohol

to clean the instrument cluster. Do not allow insect sprays to contact the lens.

Immediately clean off any gasoline that splashes on the instrument cluster.

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

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.

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.

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.

161

MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

AIR FILTER / AIR BOX

Replace the air filter. See Maintenance Chapter. Clean the air box.

FLUID LEVELS

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

Maintenance Chart.

• Demand drive fluid (front gearcase)

• Rear gearcase fluid (if equipped)

• Transmission fluid

162

MAINTENANCE

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

contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength/fill)

INSPECT AND LUBRICATE

Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart.

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.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

See the Battery Storage and Battery Charging sections 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.

Use low range.

190

TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Driving at low RPM or ground

speed – 3–7 mph (4.8–11.3

km/h)

Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently.

Insufficient warm-up at low

ambient temperatures

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 flexible and prevent belt

burning.

Slow/easy clutch engagement 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 and 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

Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast, brief,

aggressive throttle application to engage clutch.

WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and

vehicle rollover.

Belt slippage from water or

snow ingestion into the PVT

system

Dry out the PVT. Prevent water from entering the PVT intake duct.

See Intake Pre-Filters for more information. Inspect clutch seals

for damage if repeated leaking occurs.

Clutch malfunction An authorized dealer can assist.

Poor engine performance

Check for clogged air filter, clogged fuel filter, water in the fuel or

foreign material in fuel tank or fuel lines. An authorized dealer can

assist.

Slippage from failure to warm

up belt

Always warm up the belt by operating below 30 mph (48 km/h) for

1 miles (1.6 km) (5 miles (8 km) or more when temperature is

below freezing).

Wrong or missing belt

Install the recommended belt.

Improper break-in Always break in a new belt and/or clutch.

WARRANTY

LIMITED WARRANTY

POLARIS Industries Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS)

gives a SIX MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS

vehicle against defects in material or workmanship. Laws and regulations in your

jurisdiction may give extra protection. 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 when

maintenance and installation are in 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, or other qualified person, but any such

contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE

ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS. Initial

dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring

trouble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or without proper

dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.
