Operation Warning Decal Text:
S To avoid serious injury or death, read and understand all warnings
and the Owner’s Manual before operation. If the manual is missing,
contact a Polaris dealer for a replacement.
S This vehicle is capable of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven ter-
rain can cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme cau-
tion when operating i n unfamiliar terrain.
S Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can re-
sult in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid
unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.
S Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this ve-
hicle.
S In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located
on the top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then
pull the brake lever to stop.
S Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate
clothing while operating this vehicle.
S This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age
requirements.
S When operating with a passenger (on approved models only) reduce
speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger
reduces your ability to control the vehicle.
S When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, o r when crossing roads,
steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and
allow extra space to turn or stop.
S To maintain vehicle control o n ice or hard-packed surfaces, you
should have a p roper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See
Owner’s Manual for proper use of traction products.
S Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of
braking ability.
S Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave
brake engaged for more than five minutes.
S Before starting the engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for
proper operation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in posi-
