2021 Outlaw 70 Owner’s Manual

Dear Parents / Supervising Adults:

We believe young operators should have the opportunity to enjoy the POLARIS riding experience along with you. We've provided this owner’s manual to assist you and your children / young operators in learning about safe operation and care of your new ATV.

A POLARIS ATV is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate. Make sure any child who will operate the ATV takes a training course before operating the ATV. Make sure all operators understand and follow all of the instructions and warnings contained in this owner’s manual.

Never allow a child under the age of 16 to operate an ATV without adult supervision. Children differ in skills, physical abilities and judgement. Some children may not be able to operate an ATV safely. Permit continued use only if you determine that your child / young operator has the ability and maturity to operate the ATV safely.

For your child’s / young operator’s safety, be sure your child / young operator can reach and operate all ATV controls, including handlebars, brake levers, throttle lever and engine stop switch.

The preventive maintenance program outlined in this manual is designed to ensure that all critical components on your child’s / young operator’s ATV are thoroughly inspected at specific intervals. Follow all of the instructions and recommendations in this manual.

Dear Young Operators:

Before you ride your new POLARIS ATV, there are some important things that you need to know. You must learn how to keep yourself and those around you safe while you’re riding. Your parents / supervising adult and Polaris want you to enjoy riding your new ATV, and that's why you need to read and understand the information in your owner’s manual. You must also take an ATV training course before you begin riding.

Ask your parents / supervising adult to explain anything you don’t understand and pay close attention to the warnings and instructions you read. Your safety and the safety of others is the most important thing to think about at all times. Never drive your ATV alone. Always make sure an adult is watching you when you ride.

PARENTS / SUPERVISING ADULT: POLARIS Youth ATVs are equipped with a speed control system, allowing adults to limit vehicle speed according to rider's skill and experience. More information on speed limiting functionality can be found on Speed Control and Throttle System. These units are not designed for adult use. Serious vehicle damage may occur if maximum rider weight capacity is exceeded. See the vehicle specifications section for your ATV’s weight capacity.

YOUNG OPERATORS: Before riding your new POLARIS ATV, there are important things you need to know. Safety is the most important thing to think about at all times. As the driver of the ATV, you must learn how to keep yourself, and those around you, safe while you ride.

Before an adult starts the engine for you for the first time, let's learn about the controls on your new ATV.

• 1 Engine Stop Switch: When the engine is running, press the right-side of the switch to shut the engine off quickly. Before restarting, press the left-side of the switch to the engine start position.

• 2 Horn: Press the horn button to sound the horn.

• 3 Throttle Control: Press the throttle lever with your thumb when you want your ATV to move forward. Always be sure the throttle control does not stick before you drive your ATV. Read more about this on Pre-Ride Check.

• 4 Foot Brake: The foot brake is on the right side of the ATV. Read about how to use the foot brake on Brakes.

  WARNING

  Never apply the foot brake without also squeezing the hand brake. Using the foot brake alone could cause you to lose control of the ATV and be seriously injured. Always take your thumb off the throttle when engaging brakes.

5 Gas Cap: The gas cap must be removed when an adult puts gas in your ATV. Never take off the gas cap. Make sure it is closed tightly.

6 Seat: Remove seat by pulling firmly upward on back edge of the seat. Slide seat backward to detach front tab from the chassis. Replace seat by re-inserting the front tab into the chassis and pressing firmly down on the back of the seat to secure the grommets. Ensure seat is properly locked in place before riding.

7 Hand Brake Lever: Squeeze the brake lever toward the handlebar to slow down or stop the ATV.

8 Tether Cord and Switch - The tether cord must always be clipped to your person and to the ATV every time you drive. If you fall off your ATV, the tether cord will pull away from the switch and the engine will stop.

9 Ignition Switch - Use the ignition switch to start your vehicle. The brake lever must be engaged in order to start the engine. You can also use this key to turn off the engine.

Let’s review the three ways to stop the engine of your ATV.

1. Press the right side of the engine stop switch.

2. Pull the tether cord off the ATV.

3. Turn the key off.

We’re almost ready to have an adult start your ATV. But before the ATV is started for the first time, you must do a Pre-Ride Check. In fact, every time you want to ride you must have an adult help you check some things on your ATV before starting it. Let’s learn about these things now.

1. Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick. Check this by pushing the throttle lever toward the handlebar and then letting go. The lever should come right back to where it was before you pushed it. If it comes back slowly or stays close to the handlebar, the ATV has a sticky throttle. This means that something is wrong or broken and must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.

1. Make sure the brakes don’t stick. Check the brake lever by squeezing it toward the handlebar and then letting go. It should come right back to where it were before you squeezed. If it goes back slowly or stays close to the handlebar, your ATV has sticky brakes. The brakes must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.

1. Have an adult check to see if your ATV needs more gas. Children must never fill gasoline. It must always be done by an adult. Before gas is added to your ATV, have an adult read the instructions and warnings on Safety Warnings.

1. Make sure seat is secure. If you used the storage area under the seat, make sure the seat is secured in place.

2. Check the oil. Have an adult check the oil level when the engine is cold. If the engine has been running, it is hot and can burn your skin, if touched. Children must never check the oil alone. An adult is responsible for keeping gas and oil levels at full marks.

3. Check all engine stop methods. Perform this last check with the engine running. Verify all three ways to shut off the engine of your ATV are working properly. Do you remember what they are? If you can’t remember the three ways to stop the engine, go back to the Know Your ATV section and review. Have an adult help you start the engine. Practice stopping the engine all three ways.

Now you’re ready to learn about riding your POLARIS ATV. There are some things you can do and some things you must never do. Rules are very important when you’re driving an ATV. Adults have riding rules, too. Rules help keep us safe when we ride.

The throttle lever is located on the right handlebar. Press the throttle lever 1 toward the handlebar to increase engine speed and vehicle movement. Engine speed returns to idle when the lever is released.

This ATV is equipped with a throttle release switch, which is designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle. If the throttle cable should stick in an open position when the operator releases the lever, engine speed will be limited to idle speed.

Hand Brake

The hand brake lever 1 controls both front and rear brakes. Squeeze the brake handle toward the handlebar to apply the front brakes.

Foot Brake

The foot brake 2 controls the rear brakes only. Step down on the brake pedal to apply rear brakes.

WARNING

Applying only the foot brake could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. If using the foot brake, apply both brake levers at the same time.

Polaris Youth ATVs are not equipped with lights designed for driving in the dark. Do not operate this ATV after dark. Use caution and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility. This ATV is designed for off-road use only. Do not operate this ATV on streets or highways.

1 Check Engine: A flashing light indicates an overheated engine. The system will automatically reduce engine power. A solid light indicates an EFI-related fault has occurred. Do not operate the ATV if light is on. Serious engine damage could result. Your POLARIS dealer or other qualified technician can assist.

Gas Cap

The fuel tank filler cap 1 is located directly below the handlebars.

NOTICE

This ATV is not equipped with a low fuel indicator light. The fuel indicator gauge is located on top of the fuel cap. Always check fuel indicator to ensure proper levels before riding.

Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump octane number of 87=(R+ M/2) octane. Non-ethanol fuel is recommended.

Do not use fuel with ethanol content greater than 10 percent, such as E-85 fuel.

Refer to the Specifications chapter for fuel tank capacity.

Unleaded Gasoline

Minimum 87 Octane Rating

The break-in period for your new Polaris vehicle is defined as 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 is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline. Never allow a child to handle gasoline.

2. Check the oil level. See Oil Check. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with operation and handling.

4. Vary 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 Pre-Ride Inspection.

1. Complete the recommended safety training before operating this vehicle. See Safety Training.

2. Do not allow anyone under age 6 to operate the vehicle.

3. Never carry a passenger on this ATV.

4. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Never allow a child to handle gasoline.

5. 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 and loads on the racks (if equipped). The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.

6. Ride this vehicle only in areas permitted by a supervising adult. Never operate the vehicle on pavement or on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads.

7. Drive in a manner appropriate for your skills and operating conditions. Never operate at excessive speeds. DO NOT attempt to do power slides, “donuts”, jumps or other driving stunts. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times.

8. Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.

2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.

3. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.

4. Slowly press the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.

5. Drive slowly at first. Practice turning and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces.

Your ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives both rear wheels equally at all times. This means that the wheel on the outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.

To turn, steer in the direction of the turn, leaning your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly.

Practice making turns at slow speeds.

Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly terrain. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:

1. Drive straight uphill.

2. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).

3. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.

4. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.

5. Keep both feet on the footrests.

6. Shift body weight uphill.

7. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Opening the throttle suddenly could cause the ATV to flip over backwards.

8. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.

9. Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may include quick dismounting of the vehicle.

Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary.

If crossing a sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Slow down.

2. Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight uphill while keeping your feet on the footrests.

3. If the vehicle begins to slide or tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:

1. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).

2. Shift body weight uphill. Transfer your weight to the rear of the vehicle.

3. Drive straight downhill.

4. Slow down. Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause loss of control.

5. Apply the brakes very slightly to aid in slowing.

If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the K-turn to turn around.

1. Stop the vehicle and lock the parking brake while keeping body weight uphill.

2. Shut off the engine.

3. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill.

4. Staying uphill of the ATV, turn the handlebars full left.

1. While holding the brake, release the parking brake lock and slowly release the brake, allowing the ATV to roll around to your right until it’s pointing across the hill or slightly downward.

2. Lock the parking brake and remount the ATV from the uphill side, keeping body weight uphill.

3. Restart the engine and squeeze the brake lever.

4. Release the parking brake and drive slowly, controlling speed with the brake, until the ATV is on more level ground.

Avoid parking on a hill or incline if possible. If it’s unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Stop the engine.

2. Lock the parking brake.

3. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side as shown in the illustration.

Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:

1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.

2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.

3. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.

4. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.

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 hazards 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.

Your ATV can safely operate through shallow water. The recommended maximum depth for your ATV is below the bottom of the footrests. Follow these precautions when operating through water:

1. Determine water depth and current before entering water.

2. If crossing a stream, choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.

3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.

4. After driving through water, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the levers (while moving) until braking action is normal. If you do not perform this procedure, your brakes may be ineffective.

The OUTLAW 70 is equipped with a rear rack designed to carry small loads. Read and follow all instructions for hauling cargo on the following pages.

Engine exempt from NRMM pollutant emissions Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED 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 DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS 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 if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.

Certain POLARIS Off-Road Vehicles are available in 49-state and 50-state versions. Only the 50-state models are certified for sale in California.
