Your POLARIS BRUTUS is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate. This vehicle handles differently

than other vehicles, such as cars, trucks or other off-road vehicles. 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.

before operating the vehicle. Keep this manual with the vehicle.

• This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. You MUST be at least age 16 and have a valid driver’s

license to operate this vehicle.

• All operators should take a training course.

• No person under the age of 12 may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. All riders must be able to sit

with backs against the seat, both feet flat on the floor and both hands on the steering wheel (if

driving) or on a passenger hand hold.

• Never permit a guest to operate this vehicle unless the guest has read this manual and all product

labels.

• Always keep hands, feet and all other body parts inside the vehicle at all times.

• Always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants and over-the-ankle

boots.

operator reaction time.

SAFETY

Safe Riding Gear

Always wear the proper clothing when operating or riding in this vehicle. All riders should

wear substantial footwear, long pants and a close-fitting shirt. A hard hat or helmet and

approved eye protection are recommended when appropriate for working or riding

conditions. POLARIS recommends wearing approved eye protection bearing markings such

as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1 or CE. Never operate or ride in this vehicle while barefoot or while

wearing sandals or tennis shoes.

Workplace safety regulations may require the use of safety glasses, safety shoes and a hard

hat or helmet. Familiarize yourself with local requirements, be prepared for operating

conditions and wear the appropriate safety gear.

Rider Comfort

Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can

elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most

frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/

or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof

and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort

due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by

varying speeds to increase airflow.

SAFETY

Safety and Information Labels

Warning labels have been placed on the vehicle for your protection. Read and follow the

instructions of the labels on the vehicle carefully. If any of the labels depicted in this manual

differ from the labels on your vehicle, always read and follow the instructions of the labels

on the vehicle.

If any label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your POLARIS dealer to purchase a

replacement. Replacement safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no charge. The part

number is printed on the label.
