SAFETY  
Equipment Modifications  
Your Polaris vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as  
directed. Do not modify this vehicle in a way that will alter the weight  
distribution of the vehicle. This type of modification 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 on a Polaris vehicle any equipment that may increase the  
speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the  
vehicle for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment  
of the vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of  
bodily injury.  
The warranty on your Polaris vehicle is terminated if any equipment has  
been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to the  
vehicle, that increase its speed or power or alter the weight distribution  
of the vehicle.  
Use only Polaris-approved accessories, and familiarize yourself with  
their function and effect on the vehicle before operating.

hours and have completed the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on  
pages 40-41. Passengers must always be seated in a passenger seat with seat  
belt secured. Never drive the vehicle until all occupants are properly seated.  
Carrying Multiple Passengers

The rear brakes are mechanical drum type brakes activated by the brake  
pedal. See page 33.  
Always check brake pedal travel before each use of the vehicle. When  
applied, the brake pedal should feel firm.  
If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including  
excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and  
repairs.  
WARNING! Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake pedal can result in loss  
of braking, which could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death.  
Never operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake pedal.

MAINTENANCE  
Tires  
WARNING  
Operating your vehicle with worn tires will increase the possibility of skidding,  
loss of control and an accident, which could result in serious injury or death.  
Always replace tires when the tread depth measures 1/8" (3 mm) or less.  
Improper tire inflation or the use of non-standard size or type of tires may  
adversely affect vehicle handling, which could result in vehicle damage or  
personal injury. Always maintain proper tire pressure. When replacing tires,  
always use original equipment size and type.  
Tire Tread Depth  
Always replace tires  
when tread depth is worn  
to 1/8" (3 mm) or less.

Tire rotation is recom-  
mend in intervals of 1,00  
0r 1,500 miles for this  
vehicle. Tires should be rotated in Rearward-Cross pattern as recom-  
mended by the Tire and Rim Association. This will help with uneven  
tire wear due to the weight distribution.

MAINTENANCE  
Batteries  
WARNING  
Battery posts, terminals and related components contain lead and lead  
compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Always  
wash your hands after touching or handling the batteries.  
WARNING  
Charging a damaged battery can result in serious injury. Never attempt to  
charge a frozen or bulging battery. Discard the battery appropriately and install a  
new battery.  
WARNING  
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion  
and cause serious injury or death.  
WARNING  
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can  
result from contact with skin, eyes or clothing.  
Antidote:  
External: Flush with water.  
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,  
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.  
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.

MAINTENANCE  
Batteries  
Battery Cleaning  
If cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush.  
Wash with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water.  
Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the  
terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. Be careful not to  
allow cleaning solution or tap water into the batteries.  
Battery Charging  
When not in use, park the vehicle indoors and connect the battery  
charger. The vehicle’s charging receptacle is located on the body below  
the driver’s seat base.  
WARNING! Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can  
result in an explosion. Hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and will rise and  
accumulate at the ceiling. Always ensure a minimum of five (5) air changes per  
hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area subject to a  
flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and  
furnaces. Do not smoke in the charging area.  
1. Position the vehicle indoors  
on a level surface. Make  
sure the charging area is  
well ventilated.  
2. Open any door enclosures  
or zippers.  
3. Inspect charger cords and  
receptacles for cracks,  
loose connections and  
frayed wiring. Replace any  
damaged components  
promptly.  
Charging Receptacle  
4. Always connect the charger  
to the vehicle first, then plug the charger into a wall receptacle.  
Make sure each charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent over-  
loading.  
Tip: After the batteries have fully recharged, the battery charger will automati-  
cally cycle in and out of the trickle charge mode to maintain the charge.  
5. When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the charger  
from the wall receptacle first, then disconnect the charger from the  
vehicle.  
NOTE: Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for further details.

MAINTENANCE  
Batteries  
Battery Fluid  
A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery  
fluid level often.  
Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to  
a battery.  
Batteries should  
always be watered  
after charging unless  
plates are exposed  
before charging. If  
exposed, plates should  
be covered by approxi-  
mately 1/8” of water.  
Check level after  
charge. The level  
should be kept 1/4”  
below the bottom of  
the fill well in the cell

WARRANTY  
LIMITED WARRANTY  
Polaris Sales Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340, gives a TWO YEAR LIM-  
ITED WARRANTY on all components of your Polaris vehicle against defects in mate-  
rial or workmanship. This warranty covers the parts and labor charges for repair or  
replacement of defective parts which are covered by this warranty. This warranty begins  
on the date of purchase. This warranty is transferable to another consumer during the  
warranty period through a Polaris dealer. The warranty coverage ends two years from  
the date of purchase.  
REGISTRATION  
At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer  
and submitted to Polaris within ten days. Upon receipt of this registration, Polaris will  
record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the  
purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be the warranty entitle-  
ment. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy,  
please 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 trou-  
ble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or without proper dealer set-up will  
void your warranty coverage.  
WARRANTY COVERAGE AND EXCLUSIONS:  
are not compatible with the vehicle. The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty  
shall be, at Polaris' exclusive option, repair or replacement of any defective materials, or  
components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE  
THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS  
WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR  
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIP-  
TION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR  
ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE.  
Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages or implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to  
you if inconsistent with controlling state law.

WARRANTY  
LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES  
The Polaris limited warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in  
material or workmanship. This warranty does not cover accidental damage, normal wear  
and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does not cover any vehicle that  
has been altered structurally, modified, neglected, improperly maintained, used for rac-  
ing, or used for purposes other than for which it was manufactured, or for any damages  
which occur during trailer transit or as a result of unauthorized service or the use of  
unauthorized parts. In addition, this warranty does not cover physical damage to paint or  
finish, stress cracks, tearing or puncturing of upholstery material, corrosion, or defects in  
parts, components or the vehicle due to fire, explosions or any other cause beyond  
Polaris' control.  
The Polaris limited warranty excludes any battery failures that are not caused by a defect  
in material or workmanship. Warranty claims for battery replacements require specific  
testing as outlined by the Polaris Warranty Department and the battery manufacturer  
U.S. Battery prior to replacement. If the Polaris Warranty Department in conjunction  
with U.S. Battery determines that the failure of the battery is caused by a defect in mate-  
rial or workmanship, Polaris will assist with the processing of the warranty claim  
through U.S. Battery for a replacement battery. This warranty does not cover the time  
required to test and/or diagnose issues with the battery. Consequential damage caused by  
defective batteries are excluded from this warranty. Use of any charger not recom-  
mended by Polaris and/or modifications to the vehicle will void any stated or implied  
warranty on the battery. Battery warranty limitations include abuse or neglect such as  
improper fluid levels, loose wiring, or rusted or corroded hardware; Lack of proper  
maintenance; Damage caused by improper installation of the battery; Neglect, breakage,  
freezing, fire, explosion, wreckage, the addition of any chemical, operation of the bat-  
tery in an overcharged condition, or the operation of the battery in an uncharged condi-  
tion (below half-charge – 1.200 specific gravity); and a battery charged by systems other  
than those supplied or recommended by Polaris.  
This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, chemicals, or fuels that  
are not compatible with the vehicle. The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty  
shall be, at Polaris' exclusive option, repair or replacement of any defective materials, or  
components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE  
THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS  
WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR  
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIP-  
TION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR  
ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE.  
Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages or implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to  
you if inconsistent with controlling state law.

WARRANTY  
LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES  
U.S. Battery’s liability shall be to replace the defective battery. Replacement shall mean  
furnishing a new battery or used battery with sufficient life to complete the warranty  
term, which is incidental or reasonably equivalent to the warranted product at no cost to  
the purchaser during the replacement period.  
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE  
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ABOVE TWO  
YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS  
WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow  
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply  
to you if inconsistent with controlling state law.  
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE  
If your vehicle requires warranty service, you must take it to a Polaris Servicing Dealer.  
When requesting warranty service you must present your copy of the Warranty Registra-  
tion form to the dealer. (THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE  
DEALER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY). Polaris suggests that you use your original  
selling dealer; however, you may use any Polaris Servicing Dealer to perform warranty  
service.  
Please work with your dealer to resolve any warranty issues. Should your dealer require  
any additional assistance they will contact the appropriate person at Polaris.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which  
vary from state to state.  
If any of the above terms are void because of state or federal law, all other warranty  
terms will remain in effect.  
Lubricants  
1. Mixing oil brands or using non-recommended oil may cause engine damage. We rec-  
ommend the use of Polaris gearcase oil.  
2. Damage resulting from the use of non-recommended lubricants may not be covered  
by warranty.

not followed the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer be eligible for war-  
ranty or service bulletin coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to Government offi-  
cials or military personnel on assignment outside of the country where the vehicle was
