OPERATION

Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new Polaris vehicle is the first ten hours of

operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of gasoline.

No single action on your part will increase the life and performance of

your vehicle more than following the procedures for a proper break-in.

Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in

more efficient performance and longer life for these components.

Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during

the first three hours of use.

Engine and Drivetrain Break-in

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See page 26.

2. Check the oil level. Add oil if necessary.

3. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with

vehicle operation and handling.

4. Drive slowly. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained

idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 30.

6. Pull only light loads.

7. Change both the oil and the filter at 20 hours or one month.

PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)

Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the

break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggres-

sive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

OPERATION

Starting the Engine

Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can cause loss of

consciousness resulting in severe injury or death. Never run an engine in an

enclosed area.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Place the transmission in neutral.

3. Lock the parking brake.

Tip: The starter interlock will prevent the engine from starting if the transmission

is in gear and the brake is not engaged.

4. Turn the fuel valve on.

5. Sit on the vehicle.

Tip: Do not use the choke if starting a warm engine. Excessive use of the choke

can cause the spark plug to become wet fouled.

6. If the engine is cold, pull the

choke knob out until it stops. If

the knob doesn't stay where

positioned, increase the ten-

sion by rotating the tension

adjusting nut clockwise.

Tip: The variable choke is fully on when

OPERATION

Starting the Engine

8. Do not press the throttle while starting the engine. Turn the ignition

key past the ON position to engage the starter. Activate the starter

for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the key when the engine

starts.

9. If the engine does not start, release the starter and wait five seconds.

10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the engine starts.

Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.

Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.

11. If a warm engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily

start, intermittent use of the choke (knob pulled half way out) may

be necessary. If the engine is over-choked when warm, depress the

throttle lever fully while cranking to aid in starting. Release the

throttle lever immediately after the engine starts. If the engine does

not start and all conditions are favorable, change the spark plug and

OPERATION

Driving Through Water

Your Polaris vehicle 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.

Maximum Depth

NOTICE: Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly

inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in

the maintenance chart. See page 47. The following areas need

special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear

gearcases (if equipped) and all grease fittings.

If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or

after operating in water, restarting can result in serious engine

damage. Transport the vehicle to your dealer for service before

restarting the engine. If this is not possible, follow the vehicle

immersion inspection and drying procedures outlined on page 81,

then see your dealer for service at the first opportunity.

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 haz-

ards 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.

OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

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.

When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain

stable driving conditions.

CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACK AS POSSIBLE. Carrying a load high

on the rack 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.

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.

NEVER CARRY CARGO ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. 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.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

Load Distribution

Accessory racks and hitches are available from your Polaris dealer.

Read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the vehicle

warning labels. Never exceed the specified weights.

Never carry cargo on the front of the vehicle.

Cargo should be evenly distributed and mounted as low as possible on

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

and cargo or towed load to maintain stable driving conditions.

Towing Loads

Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY. Do not exceed the maximum

capacities when towing. Do not tow any trailer on a grade steeper than

15°.

Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. Remove the hitch when

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

the amount of tongue weight.

• 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.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

Noise Emission Control System

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so

may affect compliance with governmental noise level requirements.

Spark Arrestor

Your Polaris vehicle has a spark arrestor that was designed for on-road

and off-road operation. It is required that this spark arrestor remain

installed and functional when the vehicle is operated.

Exhaust Emission Control System

The emissions from the exhaust of this vehicle are controlled by engine

design, including factory-set fuel delivery and ignition. The engine and

related components must be maintained at Polaris specifications to

achieve optimal performance.

Engine idle speed is the only adjustment Polaris recommends that the

operator perform. Any other adjustments should be performed by an

authorized Polaris dealer.

Electromagnetic Interference

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

This vehicle complies with the EMC requirements of European direc-

tives 97/24/EC and 2004/108/EC.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest,

most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of

important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When

inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine Polaris

parts available from your Polaris dealer.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on

page 111.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If

you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a

qualified dealer 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 (16 km/h). Vehicles subjected to severe use must be

inspected and serviced more frequently.

Severe Use Definition

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

• Extended idle

• Short trip cold weather operation

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold

weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crank-

case. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the

oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the

cause or see your dealer.

MAINTENANCE

Brake Fluid

Check brake fluid levels for both brake systems before each ride.

Always maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

The brakes should feel firm when they're applied. Spongy or weak

brakes may indicate a fluid leak or low fluid level. A low fluid level

may also mean that brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Do not

operate the vehicle with spongy or weak brakes. See your dealer for ser-

vice.

Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake can result in loss of braking, which

could cause an accident. Never operate the vehicle with spongy-feeling brakes.

If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See page 99 for the

part numbers of Polaris products.

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.

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.

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 accident or severe injury. After opening a bottle of brake

fluid, always discard any unused portion.

MAINTENANCE

Carburetor

Your Polaris vehicle is calibrated at the factory for optimal performance

at altitudes ranging from zero to 1800 meters and at temperatures of 4

degrees C. or higher. Above 1800 meters the engine air/fuel mixture

becomes too rich and the engine loses approximately 3% of its power

for each 300 meter increase in elevation. Although this power cannot be

regained, adjustments to the carburetor and drive system can be made to

allow more efficient operation. Optional jets and clutch components,

available from your Polaris dealer, are required for operation above

1800 meters and at temperatures below 4 degrees C.

Tip: Continuous operation of the engine without proper jetting when required

can cause poor performance, overheating or PVT or engine damage. See

your Polaris dealer for more information about jetting the vehicle for condi-

tions in your area.

MAINTENANCE

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 radiator, 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 Premium 60/40 anti-freeze/cool-

ant or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/

coolant and distilled water. Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed

and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 99 for the part num-

bers of Polaris products.

Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the

freeze protection required in your area.

Recovery Bottle Coolant

The recovery bottle is located on

the left side of the vehicle.

1. Maintain the coolant level

between the minimum and

maximum marks on the bottle

(when the fluid is cool).

2. Add coolant as needed.

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. See your dealer as

outlined in the owner's manual.

• 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.

MAINTENANCE

PVT System

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 cen-

trifugal force decreases, reducing the amount of belt pinch. This begins

to occur at speeds of less than 5 MPH (8 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), the

engine would be running at only about 1500 RPM, with an engagement

speed of about 1400 RPM. Whenever operating this close to the engage-

ment 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.

If the vehicle will be operated for extended periods below 5 MPH (8

km/h), or for towing loads, we recommend that you install a one tooth

smaller counter shaft sprocket to raise the operating RPM far enough

above the engagement RPM to reduce heat caused by incomplete

engagement. Reducing the temperature inside the clutch cover greatly

extends the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

Tip: Avoid heavy pulling and extended low-speed operation.

1. Move the vehicle out of the water.

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

Reinstall the drain plug.

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

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 10 seconds.

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

mission into forward gear.

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

7. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.

3. With conventional batteries, install the battery vent tube (sealed bat-

teries do not have a vent tube). The vent tube must be free of

obstructions and securely installed. Route the tube away from the

frame and vehicle body to prevent contact with electrolyte.

Battery gases could accumulate in an improperly installed vent tube and cause

an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death. Always ensure that the vent

tube is free of obstructions and is securely installed as recommended.

4. On conventional batteries, coat the terminals with dielectric grease

or petroleum jelly.

5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.

6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.

7. Install the battery cover (if equipped).

8. Secure the battery hold-down strap.

9. Verify that cables are properly routed. Cables should be safely

tucked away at the front and rear of the battery.

10. Reinstall the seat.

MAINTENANCE

Battery

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.

Tip: Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the battery cover can

be installed.

Polaris recommends maintaining battery charge by using a Polaris Bat-

tery Tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for

normal self-discharge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the

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

drops below a pre-determined point. See page 99 for the part numbers of

Polaris products.

Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)

A poorly maintained battery will

level between the upper and lower

level marks.

Add only distilled water. Tap water

contains minerals that are harmful to

a battery.

MAINTENANCE

Battery

Battery Charging (Conventional Battery)

1. Remove the battery from the vehicle to prevent damage from leak-

ing or spilled electrolyte during charging. See page 87.

2. Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 1/10 of the

battery’s amp/hr rating. Charge as needed to raise the specific grav-

ity to 1.270 or greater.

3. Reinstall the battery. See page 88. Make sure the positive terminal is

toward the front of the vehicle.

Battery Charging (Sealed Battery)

The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installa-

tion of a sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding with the

installation of this battery.

The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed

and fully charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add

any other fluid to this battery.

The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to

keep it fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip

cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure

DC voltage.

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. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully

charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher.

2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.2 amps

or less until battery voltage is 12.8 or greater.

3. When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufac-

turer's instructions for recharging. When using a constant current

charger, use the following guidelines for recharging.

Cleaning and Storage

Washing the Vehicle

Keeping your Polaris vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance

but it can also extend the life of various components.

NOTICE: High water pressure may damage components. Polaris recommends

washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.

Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will

damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to

contact the vehicle.

The best and safest way to clean your Polaris vehicle is with a garden

hose and a pail of mild soap and water.

1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first

and the lower parts last.

2. Rinse with clean water frequently.

3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Washing the Vehicle

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 follow-

ing items:

• Wheel bearings

• Radiator

• Transmission seals

• Brakes

• Electrical components/wiring

• Switches and controls

• Cab and body panels

• Labels and decals

If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, con-

tact 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.

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.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)

Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, pre-

serve wheel life and ensure a “like new” appearance for many years.

Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas)

are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome

wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.

1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use

abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.

2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and

other elements can cause corrosion.

3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive

grade chrome polish.

4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each pol-

ished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes.

Read and follow the product labels and instructions.

Removing Corrosion

If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT

grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool

until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as out-

lined above.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

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

page 92.

Stabilize the Fuel

1. Fill the fuel tank.

2. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris Fuel Stabilizer.

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 fuel in the tank and carburetor.

4. Turn the fuel valve off.

5. Drain the carburetor bowl.

Oil and Filter

Change the oil and filter. See page 53.

Air Filter / Air Box

1. Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter.

2. Clean the air box.

3. Clean or replace the breather filter.

4. Drain the sediment tube.

Storage Tips

Fluid Levels

Inspect the fluid levels. Change fluids as recommended in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 47.

• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)

• Transmission

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

or contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength/fill)

Fog the Engine

1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. See page 95.

2. Support the front end of the machine so the engine is level or tilted

slightly rearward.

3. Remove the spark plug. Pour 2-3 tablespoons (30-40 ml) of engine

oil into the hole.

Tip: Use a section of small hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the

pre-measured amount of oil.

4. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.

5. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap. Reinstall

the cap.

6. Turn the engine over several times using the electric start. Oil will

be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the

cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

7. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines,

and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline.

8. To eliminate any fuel remaining in the carburetor, run the engine

until it stops.

LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES

This warranty also excludes failures resulting from improper lubrication; improper

engine timing; improper fuel; surface imperfections caused by external stress, heat, cold

or contamination; operator error or abuse; improper component alignment, tension,

adjustment or altitude compensation; failure due to snow, water, dirt or other foreign

substance ingestion/contamination; improper maintenance; modified components; use

of aftermarket components resulting in failure; unauthorized repairs; repairs made after

the warranty period expires or by an unauthorized repair center; use of the product in

competition or for commercial purposes. Warranty will not apply to any product which

has been damaged by abuse, accident, fire or any other casualty not determined a defect

of materials or workmanship.

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

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PAR-

TICULAR 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 limi-

tations 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 dealer authorized

to repair Polaris vehicles. When requesting warranty service you must present your copy

of the Warranty Registration 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.
