The driver-perceived noise and hand/arm and whole body vibration levels of this machinery is measured per EN 15997.

The operating conditions of the machinery during testing:

The vehicles were in like-new condition. The environment was controlled as indicated by the test procedure(s).

The uncertainty of vibration exposure measurement is dependent on many factors, including:

• Instrument and calibration uncertainty

• Variations in the machine such as wear of components

• Variation of machine operators such as experience or physique

• Ability of the worker to reproduce typical work during measurements

• Environmental factors such as ambient noise or temperature

Safety training is a top priority for POLARIS. POLARIS strongly encourages you and any family members who will be riding this vehicle to take a training course

ROHVA® (Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association®) provides both an online safety e-course and a hands-on safety course. To access this valuable training, visit www.rohva.org.

Your POLARIS vehicle is considered an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area.

We strongly advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance program outlined in your owner's manual. This preventive maintenance program is designed to ensure that all critical components on your vehicle are thoroughly inspected at specific intervals.

2. Pull the park brake lever 1 upward as far as possible.

3. To release the park brake, apply the brakes. Press the park brake release 2 inward and move the lever downward as far as possible.

The Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) on this vehicle meets OSHA® 1928.53 rollover performance requirements. Always have your authorized POLARIS dealer thoroughly inspect the ROPS if it ever becomes damaged in any way.

1 ROPS Label (on crossbar behind passenger seat)

No device can assure occupant protection in the event of a rollover. When used with seat belts and cab nets or doors, the ROPS helps prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle. Always follow all safe operating practices outlined in this manual to avoid vehicle rollover.

Electronic power steering engages when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. EPS remains engaged whether the vehicle is moving or idle.

The EPS warning indicator briefly illuminates when the key is turned to the ON position. See the Indicator Lamps section for details.

If the engine is off but the ignition switch remains in the ON position, the EPS will shut down after 5 minutes of engine inactivity. The EPS warning indicator will illuminate to indicate the EPS has shut down.

If the EPS warning indicator remains on after turning the ignition switch to OFF and then starting the engine, the EPS system is inoperative. See your POLARIS dealer, or another qualified person, as soon as possible for repair. Continued operation could result in permanent damage to the EPS unit and increased steering effort.

For models equipped with a rear differential, refer to the All Wheel Drive/Rear Differential section beginning on Engaging AWD.

• On models not equipped with a rear differential, the All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the AWD switch. When the switch is on 2X4, the vehicle is in two-wheel drive at all times. When the switch is on AWD, the vehicle is in all wheel drive and the 4X4 indicator in the instrument cluster will be on.

• When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive unit will automatically disengage.

• There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.

An optional extreme use battery may be available for your model. If the performance of the factory-installed battery is inadequate due to operation in extreme cold or due to extended use of multiple electrical accessories, your POLARIS dealer can assist. Ask your dealer to provide any installation procedures that may differ for an extreme use battery.

High water pressure may damage components. Wash the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose using mild soap. Do not use alcohol to clean the instrument cluster. Do not allow insect sprays to contact the lens.

The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline.

11. Always follow all operating guidelines as outlined on safety labels and in this manual.

When driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, or ice, be alert for the possibility of skidding and sliding.

Follow these precautions when encountering slippery conditions:

1. Slow down before entering slippery areas.

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

3. Engage all-wheel drive before wheels begin to lose traction.

   NOTICE

   Severe damage to the drive train may occur if the AWD is engaged while the wheels are spinning. Always allow the wheels to stop spinning before engaging AWD.

4. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Never apply the brakes during a skid.

Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:

1. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending a hill. Never drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.

2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD before ascending or descending a hill. See Unlocking the Differential/TURF Mode (LE Models Only) for details.

3. Avoid excessively steep hills. If ascending a steeper grade is unavoidable, engage all-wheel drive before ascending.

4. Drive straight uphill.

5. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the throttle suddenly.

6. Avoid unnecessary changes in speed or direction.

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

8. If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, apply the brakes. Place the transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill while applying light brake pressure to control speed.

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

If crossing a hill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Engage all-wheel drive.

2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD before ascending or descending a hill.

3. Drive slowly and use extreme caution.

4. If the vehicle begins to roll over, or if it feels as if it may roll over, immediately turn downhill.

5. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one side of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.

6. If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to stop the slide, or stop the vehicle and maneuver slowly and carefully until the vehicle can be driven straight downhill.

Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:

1. Avoid excessively steep hills.

2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD before ascending or descending a hill. See Unlocking the Differential/TURF Mode (LE Models Only) for details.

3. Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.

4. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill. Never drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.

5. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.

6. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.

7. Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.

Your vehicle can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to floor level. Follow these precautions when operating through water:

1. Determine the water depth and current before entering the water.

2. Choose a crossing where the water level is lowest and where both banks have gradual inclines. Never operate in water that exceeds the maximum recommended depth (floor level).

   WARNING

   The large tires on your vehicle may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast-flowing water, which could result in loss of traction, loss of control, rollover or accident.

3. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads. Avoid applying brake and throttle at the same time.

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. Avoid operating over large obstacles such as large rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate slowly.

5. Always have any passengers dismount and move away from the vehicle before operating over an obstacle that could cause a rollover.

Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:

1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.

2. Apply the throttle lightly. Never open the throttle suddenly.

3. Back slowly.

4. Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.

5. Avoid making sharp turns.

Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Apply the brakes.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Engage the parking brake (if equipped).

4. Turn the engine off.

5. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.

6. Block the rear wheels on the downhill side.

Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo box. A passenger must always be seated in the passenger seat with seat belt secured.

Always follow these precautions when towing:

1. Never load more than 150 lbs. (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.

2. Towing a trailer increases braking distance. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.

3. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle.

4. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.

5. The total load (operator, passenger, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

Towing this vehicle is not recommended. Always transport the vehicle on a trailer or flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. See Transporting the Vehicle for details.

If towing a disabled vehicle is unavoidable, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Tow the shortest distance possible. Do not operate faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h).

These safety warnings and instructions apply if your vehicle came equipped with a winch or if you choose to add an accessory winch to your vehicle.

Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially designed synthetic rope. The term “winch cable” will be used for either unless noted otherwise.

1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on Shock Loading.

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

10. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever possible.

12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

    1. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack” or accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.

    2. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated capacity.

15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

1. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.

2. Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy gloves.

3. Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.

4. Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.

5. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

1. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.

2. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch components.

3. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.

4. Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable to collect debris that will shorten the life of the cable.

Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using your winch.

1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use. Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter) of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly. Promptly replace any worn or damaged cable.

1. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.

2. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/ or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

3. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

• Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the load to the winch cable.

• Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

• If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce the load on the fairlead.

• If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a tow strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to Tread Lightly℠ (treadlightly.org).

• Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

• Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always replace damaged parts before using the winch.

1. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

2. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

3. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winch’s pulling capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

4. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use.

   1. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure, always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A damper can be heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.

   2. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is spooled out.

   3. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the damper can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable. Always release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.

   4. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible. Also, never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable during winch operation.

5. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

6. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.

7. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on Shock Loading. For your safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

   1. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch cable.

   2. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s centerline.

   3. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s frame following instructions in this manual.

   4. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.

   5. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.

   6. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction of winching.

   7. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.

   8. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the vehicle.

   9. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without the help of the winch.

   10. Detach the winch cable hook.

   11. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the instructions in this manual.

8. Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the vehicle frame or hitch.

9. Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the winching vehicle’s engine run while operating the winch to prevent the battery from running low if winching for long periods.

10. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

11. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task.

    1. Release the clutch on the winch.

    2. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.

    3. Re-engage the winch clutch.

    4. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg) of tension using the hook strap.

    5. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on the drum.

    6. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself between lower layers of winch cable.

For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or replacement.

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable.

   A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is shown at right. Even after being “straightened out,” this cable has already been permanently and severely damaged. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

   

   A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that has been “straightened out” is shown at right. Even though it may look usable, the cable has been permanently and severely damaged. It can no longer transmit the load that it could prior to kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

   
   

   A winch cable made of synthetic rope should be inspected for signs of fraying. Replace the cable if fraying is observed (shown below). Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition. Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers. Such an area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth or glazed. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

   
   

Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

   WARNING

   SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an accident.

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous. Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock loading.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so may affect compliance with U.S.A. EPA noise control requirements (40 CFR 205) and local noise level requirements.

Your POLARIS vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1C. Federal law requires that this spark arrester be installed and functional when the vehicle is operated on public lands.

Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. is regulated by 43 CFR 420. Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Federal regulations can be viewed online at www.ecfr.gov..

This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases are forced back to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All exhaust gases exit through the exhaust system.

Exhaust emissions are controlled by engine design. An electronic fuel injection (EFI) system controls fuel delivery. The engine and EFI components are set at the factory for optimal performance and are not adjustable.

The emissions label is located on the left front frame of the vehicle.

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

This vehicle complies with the EMC requirements of UN ECE Regulation 10.

Non-ionizing Radiation: This vehicle emits some electromagnetic energy. People with active or non-active implantable medical devices (such as heart monitoring or controlling devices) should review the limitations of their device and the applicable electromagnetic standards and directives that apply to this vehicle.

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts for emissions-related service, however equivalent parts can be used.

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.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in this owner’s manual.

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, genuine POLARIS parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related service.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a qualified dealer can perform these operations.

Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and serviced more frequently.

Check and lubricate all components at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Periodic Maintenance Chart, or more often under severe use, such as wet or dusty conditions. Items not listed in the chart should be lubricated at the general lubrication interval.

Always check and change the fluid at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Refer to the Gearcase Specifications Chart section for recommended lubricants, capacities and torque specifications.

Always check and change the fluid at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Refer to the Gearcase Specifications Chart section for recommended lubricants, capacities and torque specifications.

Use of other fluids may result in improper operation of components. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers of POLARIS products.

If the engine stops or will not start, if the power steering stops working (if equipped), or if you experience other electrical failures, a fuse may need replacement. Locate and correct any short circuits that may have caused the blown fuse, then replace the fuse.

The main fuse box is located under the dash, above the brake and throttle pedals. Spare fuses are provided in the fuse box.

The power fuse box is located under the driver’s seat. Remove the engine access panel to access the fuse box.

The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the overflow bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and 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 overflow bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the pressure cap, and into the radiator.

Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

Always clean all dirt and debris away from the air box area before servicing the air filter. Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Periodic Maintenance Chart.

1. Remove the rear access panel in the cargo box.

2. Clean all dirt and debris from the air box area.

3. Loosen the hose clamp 1 and remove the intake hose from the air box cover before unlatching the cover clips 2.

   

4. Unlatch the cover clips and carefully remove the air box cover. Do not allow the air box cover to contact the air filter during removal.

   NOTE

   Dirt or debris in the air box could result in severe engine damage. Always clean all dirt and debris from the air box before installing the filter.

5. Inspect the air box for dirt, debris, oil or water. Clean the air box thoroughly and wipe it well with a clean, dry cloth.

6. Install a new filter if needed. Do not attempt to clean the air filter. Install the air filter with the pleats facing upward.

7. Reinstall the air box cover and secure the cover clips. Do not allow the air box cover to contact the air filter during installation.

8. Reinstall the intake hose and tighten the clamp securely.

9. Reinstall the access panel.

The engine and PVT intake pre-filters are located on the left side of the cargo box. Inspect both pre-filters before each use of the vehicle to ensure adequate air flow. If necessary, remove the pre-filters and clean with soapy water. Dry with low pressure compressed air.

Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon.

1. Remove the retaining nut. Remove the arrester from the end of the muffler.

2. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrester screen. A synthetic brush may melt if components are warm. If necessary, blow debris from the screen with compressed air.

3. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace a worn or damaged screen.

4. Reinstall the arrester. Torque the nut to 7-9 ft. lbs. (10-12 Nm).

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake pedal.

Always check brake pedal travel and the brake fluid reservoir level before each use of the vehicle. When applied, the brake pedal should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low brake fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. See the Brake Fluid section for further details.

If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

1. Position the vehicle on level ground.

2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.

3. There should be 0.8-1.0 in (20-25 mm) of freeplay.

4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or if the steering feels rough or “catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an authorized POLARIS dealer or other qualified personnel.

The front and rear suspensions are preload adjustable, with five settings on each axle.

The suspensions are set on the lowest (softest) setting at the factory. This setting is appropriate for nearly all riding conditions. Since the vehicle is equipped with full skid plates, suspension adjustment is not necessary.

If desired, the suspension may be adjusted to maintain vehicle clearance height when carrying loads. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the tool required to make suspension adjustments. Elevate the vehicle slightly for easier adjustment.

Always heed the following rules if you make adjustments to this suspension.

• Always return the suspension to the lowest (softest) setting after the load is removed from the vehicle. The increased suspension height will negatively impact vehicle stability when operating without a load.

• Always apply the same adjustment setting to all four wheels.

• Never operate the vehicle on the highest (stiffest) or second highest preload settings without a total combined payload in the vehicle of 450 lbs. (204 kg) or more. Payload includes the driver, passenger, POLARIS-approved accessories and cargo. Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. See the Specifications chapter for details.

Headlight and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean all lights frequently to ensure a clear field of vision as well as visibility to other vehicles.

If it’s impossible to take your vehicle to a dealer before starting it, follow the steps outlined below.

1. Move the vehicle to dry land.

2. Check the air box. If water is present, dry the air box and replace the filter with a new filter. Thoroughly dry the air pre-filter. See page

3. Remove the spark plug.

4. Turn the engine over several times.

5. Dry the spark plug and reinstall it, or install a new plug.

6. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying procedure.

7. Take the vehicle in for service as soon as possible, whether you succeed in starting it or not. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the required service.

8. If water has been ingested into the PVT follow the procedure outlined in the PVT Drying section.

Your vehicle may have either a sealed battery, which requires little maintenance, or a conventional battery. A sealed battery can be identified by its flat covers on the top of the battery. A conventional battery has six filler caps on the top of the battery.

Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. Be careful not to allow cleaning solution or tap water into a conventional battery.
