Equipment Modifications
We are concerned for the safety of our customers and for the general
public. Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers do not install
on a Polaris RANGER 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 vehi-
cle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily
injury.
The warranty on your Polaris RANGER 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.
NOTE: The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mow-
ers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle. Use only Polaris-approved accessories,
and familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure your RANGER is in excellent operating condition at all times. We
strongly recommend that the operator check all safety components before
each ride.
Polaris RANGERs are designed to provide safe operation when used as
directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from operation
with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. The
RANGER may become aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than
those for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds.
Modifications may also create a safety hazard and lead to bodily injury.
Do not make any modifications to your RANGER.
