OPERATION

Failure to operate a track-equipped vehicle properly can result in a

collision, loss of control, accident or rollover, which may result in serious

injury or death. Every user must read and understand this user manual.

Always check with local authorities in your intended area of operation to

understand laws and restrictions pertaining to the operation of this track-

equipped vehicle.

Serious injuries may result if hands, feet or clothing become entangled

in a moving track. Stay clear of all moving tracks.

Pre-Use Inspection

WARNING! Operating the vehicle with a damaged track increases the

possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in

serious injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before

using the vehicle.

Survival Preparation/RemoteTerrain Operation

When traveling off trails in remote terrain, always carry survival

equipment appropriate to the conditions you may encounter. Such

equipment may include, but is not limited to: a shovel, a first aid kit, extra

clothing,a sleepingbag, a flashlight,food and water, a signaling mirror,a

means of building a fire and a two-way radio or cellular telephone. If

possible, carry essential spare parts for emergency repairs.

1. Inspect the track and all

track system components

for wear or damage.

Never operate with a

damaged track.

2. Inspect wheels and

moving parts for

excessive mud, snow, ice

and debris.Make sure the

system can operate freely

and that components are

not bound by these

elements.

3. Clear away any snow, mud or debris that may hinder or block

proper operation of the vehicle’s cooling and steering systems, air

intakes and exhaust outlets.

4. After the initial installation, and after every futurereinstallationof the

tracks, always adjust track angle of attack, system

alignment and

track tension after the first use of the vehicle. See pages 18-25.

WARNING

OPERATION

Safe Operation Practices

1. Read and understandthis user manualand all warning and instruction

labels before operating a track-equipped vehicle.

2. Read the vehicle owner’s manual before operating with tracks.

Follow all safety and operation warnings and procedures.

3. 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, passenger, accessories, loads in the rack or

box and the load on the trailer tongue. You must also include the

added weight due to removing wheels and adding track

systems. The

combined weight of these items mustnot exceed the maximum weight

capacity.

4. When cargo load is 220 lbs. (100 kg) or more, always reduce speed

significantly and operate with extra caution on rough terrain.

5. Operate the vehicle in 4X4 mode when operating with tracks. This will

significantly reduce the possibility of derailing.

6. The vehicle will handle differentlywhen a track system is installed.

Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with

vehicle operation and handling. Drive slowly at first. On level

surfaces, practice starting, stopping, turning, maneuvering, using the

throttle and brakes and drivingin reverse. Learnhow the vehicle

handles when making both left and right turns at a slow speed.

7. Track systems are designed to reduce ground pressure and increase

vehicle traction.For the best traction, drive at slow speeds. Traction is

reduced at faster speeds.

8. Moving track systems can propel objects. Drive slowly when

operating near bystanders and when traveling in a group with other

vehicles. Alert others in your group to the potential for propelled

objects in the wake of a track-equipped vehicle.

OPERATION

Safe Operation Practices

9. Always travel at a speed appropriate for your skills and operating

conditions. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers.

10. Operate the vehicle off-road only. Never operate the vehicle on

pavement or on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and

gravel roads.

11. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar

terrain. Not all obstacles are immediately visible.

12. When driving in deep snow, avoid spinning the tracks, which could

cause the vehicle to become stuck. When under power, tracks will

continue to turn in deep snow even if the vehicle fails to move.

13. When driving in snow, allow for a greater braking distance.

Periodically apply the brakes while driving to prevent ice buildup on

brake components.

14. Never operate on a frozen body of water.

OPERATION

Steep Descents

POLARIS does not recommend operation of this vehicle on steep hills.

Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for proper operating procedures

when driving on inclines.

WARNING! Turning a track-equipped vehicle while making a steep descent

creates higher stress on steering and track systems, which can lead to

component damage and result in an accident or rollover.

If making a steep descent is unavoidable, drive straight downhill. Avoid

making turns during steep descents.

Towing a Stuck Vehicle

If your track-equippedvehicle must be towed from deep snow, always

tow in the opposite direction of vehicle travel. Do not attempt to tow the

vehicle in the same direction it had been travelingwhen it became stuck

in the deep snow.
