INTRODUCTION

Failure to heed the warnings and safety precautions contained in this manual

can result in severe injury or death. A Polaris ATV is not a toy and can be

hazardous to operate. This vehicle handles differently than other vehicles, such

as motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during

routine maneuvers like turning, or driving on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to

take proper precautions.

• Read this owner’s manual. Understand all safety warnings, precautions and

operating procedures before operating a Polaris ATV. Keep this manual with

the ATV.

• Never operate an ATV without proper instruction. Take a training course.

Purchasers of a new Polaris ATV and their eligible family members are

entitled to take the ATV RiderCoursesm. Contact ATV Enrollment Express at

(800) 887-2887 or visit www.atvsafety.org for information on enrollment in the

ATV RiderCoursesm.

• This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. Operation is prohibited for anyone

under 16 years of age.

• Never permit a guest to operate the ATV unless the guest has read this

manual and all product labels and has completed a certified safety training

course.

SAFETY

Safety Training

ATV safety training is a top priority for Polaris. When you purchased

your new ATV, your dealer instructed you on the authorized ATV

RiderCoursesm available to you and your eligible family members. This

training is included in the purchase price of your ATV. Polaris strongly

encourages you and your eligible family members who will be riding

the ATV to take the ATV RiderCoursesm. You were also provided with

printed materials that explain safe operating procedures. You should

review this information on a regular basis.

If you purchased a used Polaris ATV, you can take the ATV

RiderCoursesm by calling ATV Enrollment Express at (800) 887-2887 or

by visiting www.atvsafety.org. Purchasers of a used Polaris ATV will be

charged for this training.

A Polaris ATV is an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws

and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area.

We strongly advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance

program outlined in your owner's manual. This preventive maintenance

program is designed to ensure that all critical components on your vehi-

cle are thoroughly inspected at specific intervals.

sumer Product Safety Commission at 1-800-638-2772, or visit
