OPERATION
Driving Safely
Driving in Reverse
Follow these precautions
when operating in reverse:
1. Always avoid backing
downhill.
2. Back slowly.
3. When in reverse,
apply the brakes
lightly for stopping.
4. Avoid turning at sharp
angles in reverse.
5. Never open the throttle
suddenly while backing.
WARNING
Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in
serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse, always check
for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. When it’s safe to
proceed, back slowly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required
for vehicle movement. Use with caution.
Avoid backing on inclines, and avoid turning at sharp angles.
NOTE: Most Polaris ATVs are equipped with a reverse speed
limiter. The override button should be used with caution as
rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate
at wide open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to
maintain a desired speed.
CAUTION
Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may
cause fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping
and/or engine damage.
