3.3.4.6: Rider Comfort

Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by varying speeds to increase airflow.

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

  1. Push the engine stop switch down.

  2. Pull the tether strap off the ATV.

  3. Turn the key off.

4.4.2: Pre-Ride Check

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.

WARNING
Never start the engine if you have a sticky throttle. You could be seriously hurt if you ride with a sticky throttle. Have an adult or your POLARIS dealer fix the throttle before you ride.
  1. Make sure the brakes don’t stick. Check the brake levers by squeezing them toward the handlebar and then letting go. They should come right back to where they were before you squeezed. If they go back slowly or stay close to the handlebar, your ATV has sticky brakes. They must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.

WARNING
Never start the engine if your ATV has sticky brakes. You could be seriously hurt if you ride with sticky brakes. Have an adult or your POLARIS dealer fix the sticky brakes before you ride.
  1. Have an adult check to see if your ATV needs more gas. Children must never add their own gasoline. This must always be done by an adult. Before anyone adds gasoline to your ATV they must read the instructions and warnings in the Safety Labels and Locations section of this manual.

WARNING
Always have an adult put gas in your ATV. Never try to do it yourself.
  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 engine oil level when the engine is cold. When the engine has been running for awhile, it is very hot and can burn your skin, if touched. Children must never check the oil alone. An adult should always be responsible for keeping gas and oil levels at full marks.

  3. Check all engine stop methods. Perform this last check with the engine running. You must verify that 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.

4.4.3: Riding Rules

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.

NOTE
The adult with you is your teacher. Always pay attention to what your teacher says so you can learn how to drive safely.

WARNING
Always follow the safe riding rules found in the next few pages. You, or those around you, could be seriously hurt if safe riding rules are not followed.

Riding Gear

NOTE
Always wear proper clothing and safety gear when riding your ATV.

Helmet: Your helmet is very important for safe riding. Helmets prevent severe head injuries.

Eye Protection: Always wear shatterproof goggles or helmet face shield. Always keep them clean so you can see where you’re driving.

Gloves: Wear gloves to protect your hands from sun and wind. Gloves also protect your hands from possible scrapes and scratches.

Boots: Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots to keep feet dry. Boots protect your feet and ankles from possible scrapes and scratches.

Clothing: Make sure your clothing fits properly. If too small, it could keep you from moving easily when shifting your weight. If too big, it could hang down and get caught in your ATV’s moving parts. Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs from injury.

Rules to Remember

  • Always attach the tether strap to your right wrist and to the ATV before riding.

  • Always know where you’re going to drive before you start your ATV. Make sure your ATV’s surrounding area is safe.

  • Your ATV is designed for one rider. Never carry a passenger. A passenger will make the ATV harder to drive. You could lose control and hurt yourself and your passenger.

  • Always remain seated while driving your ATV.. Keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests.

  • Always be alert and pay attention to where you’re driving. Pay attention to other drivers, and take more care around them because you cannot predict what they’re going to do.

  • Never follow another ATV too closely. You need plenty of time and space to stop your ATV.

  • Never tow or pull an object behind the ATV.

  • Never ride without adult supervision. An adult should always be watching in case you need help. Always drive within the sight of an adult.

  • Never ride on public trails.

  • Never ride your ATV on roads or over railroad tracks. Your ATV makes noise that may prevent you from hearing cars, trucks or trains that may be coming toward you.

  • Never ride at night. Your ATV is not equipped with lights that are safe for driving in the dark.

  • Learn where lakes, rivers, ponds and ditches are located in your driving area. Stay away from them.

  • Never ride on frozen water. Driving on ice could result in serious injury or death. All ice can be dangerous!

  • Only ride your ATV in safe areas where you have permission to drive. Be careful of things around you.

  • Always be a polite driver. (Don’t drive through the flower garden or over the little trees you planted!).

  • Always do your best to help take care of nature.

Respect your ATV.
Respect your environment.
You will earn the respect of everyone.
Enjoy riding your new POLARIS ATV!

  4. Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees.

6.6.16: Driving Through Water

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.

NOTICE

Serious engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operating in water deeper than the footrest level. As soon as possible, perform the inspections and maintenance services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Engine oil, gear case oil and all grease fittings need special attention.

If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after operating in water, service is required before starting the engine. Your POLARIS dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Vehicle Immersion section, and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.

6.6.17: Hauling Cargo

The SPORTSMAN was designed with racks to carry small loads. Read and follow all of the instructions for hauling cargo on the following pages.

Never carry cargo on the OUTLAW.

WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control, which can result in serious injury or death. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:

  • Place 1/3 of the cargo weight on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. Carrying loads on only one rack increases the chance of a tipover.

  • Slow down. Allow more space for stopping the ATV when hauling cargo.

  • Never exceed the weight capacities for the vehicle. Capacities are listed in the specifications section beginning on Outlaw 110.

  • Secure all cargo before driving. Loose cargo may move or shift, which could cause loss of control or a tipover. Use suitable tie-downs or rope to secure the cargo. Do not allow cargo or tie straps to hang over the edges of the racks.

  • Carry only small loads that fit on the racks. Tall loads raise the center of gravity of the vehicle and may cause loss of control or a tipover.

  • Never allow a person to ride on the racks.

  • Never tow or pull an object behind the ATV. A wagon, sled or other object towed behind an ATV does not have brakes or steering. The object may overturn or collide with other objects and cause serious injuries.

  • Labels and decals

If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your POLARIS dealer for free replacement.

Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system.

8.8.22.2: Washing Tips

  • Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.

  • Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.

  • Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.

  • Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.

8.8.22.3: Polishing

It is recommended to use common household aerosol furniture polish for polishing the finish on your Polaris vehicle. Follow the instructions on the container.

  • Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of your vehicle.

  • Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.

8.8.23: Storage

Exterior

Make necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See Washing the Vehicle.

Battery Storage

Remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it’s fully charged, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

Stabilize the Fuel

  1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel.

  2. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris Fuel Stabilizer or equivalent fuel treatments or stabilizers. Follow the instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings, valves and exhaust systems.

  3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.

Fog the Engine

  1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. Follow the instructions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.

  2. Remove the spark plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug hole, use a section of clear 1/4” hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.

  3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification. See Spark Plugs.

  4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap. Do not reinstall the cap onto the plug at this step.

  5. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

  6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.

  7. Reinstall the spark plug cap to the spark plug.

Engine Oil

Change the oil. See Oil Change.

Air Filter / Air Box

Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter. Clean the air box. Drain the sediment tube.

Fluid Levels

Inspect fluid levels. Change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Maintenance Chart.

  • Transmission Oil

  • Engine Oil

Lubricate

Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Maintenance Chart.

Storage Area / Covers

  1. Make sure tire pressure is at specification.

  2. Using suitable supports under the frame, raise the vehicle slightly so that the tires are not touching the ground.

  3. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated.

  4. Cover the vehicle with an appropriate cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.

8.8.24: Transporting the ATV

  1. Stop the engine. Place the transmission in gear. Lock the parking brake.

  2. Secure the fuel cap, oil cap and seat.

    NOTICE
    Always tie the frame of the ATV to the transporting unit securely with suitable straps or rope. The rack, bumper or handlebars do not offer enough support for tie-down while transporting. For high-speed trailering, it is recommended to remove the safety flag.

  3. Wrap the front tie strap through the frame tubes (not through the bumper tubes), or attach a tie-down hook around each of the tubes.

  4. Wrap the rear tie strap around the grab bar.

Chapter 11: Warranty

11.11.1: Limited Warranty

POLARIS Industries Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a SIX MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS vehicle against defects in material or workmanship. Laws and regulations in your jurisdiction may give extra protection. POLARIS further warrants that the spark arrester in this product will meet the efficiency requirements of USFS standard 5100-1C for at least 1000 hours when subjected to normal use and when maintenance and installation are in accordance with POLARIS recommendations.

This warranty covers parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts and begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser. This warranty is transferable to another owner during the warranty period through a POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, but any such transfer will not extend the original term of the warranty. The duration of this warranty may vary by international region based upon local laws and regulations.

11.11.2: Registration

At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer and submitted to POLARIS within ten days of purchase. Upon receipt of this registration, POLARIS will record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be your proof of warranty coverage. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy, please contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS. Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring trouble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or without proper dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.

11.11.7: U.S.A. EPA Emissions Limited Warranty

This emissions limited warranty is in addition to the POLARIS standard limited warranty for your vehicle. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-certified vehicle is designed, built and equipped so it conforms with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission regulations. POLARIS warrants that the vehicle is free from defects in materials and workmanship that would cause it to fail to meet these regulations.

The warranty period for off road vehicles 100cc or greater emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 500 hours of engine operation, 3100 mi (5000 km) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. The warranty period for ATVs less than 100cc emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 250 hours of engine operation, 1550 mi (2500 km) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. This EPA emissions warranty period is extended for at least as long as the standard factory warranty that POLARIS provides on the vehicle as a whole. The EPA emissions warranty period does not further extend if you purchase additional warranty coverage in the form of a service contract or other paid warranty extension, but emission-related parts may be covered subject to the terms of any such paid service contract or paid warranty extension.

This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases the vehicle's regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.

For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:

  • Air-induction system

  • Fuel system

  • Ignition system

  • Exhaust gas recirculation systems

The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions:

  • After treatment devices

  • Crankcase ventilation valves

  • Sensors

  • Electronic control units

The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporative emissions:

  • Fuel Tank

  • Fuel Cap

  • Fuel Line

  • Fuel Line Fittings

  • Clamps*

  • Pressure Relief Valves*

  • Control Valves*

  • Control Solenoids*

  • Electronic Controls*

  • Vacuum Control Diaphragms*

  • Control Cables*

  • Control Linkages*

  • Purge Valves

  • Vapor Hoses

  • Liquid/Vapor Separator

  • Carbon Canister

  • Canister Mounting Brackets

  • Carburetor Purge Port Connector


*As related to the evaporative emission control system.


Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance. 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 damage to any engine as a result of being 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 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.

11.11.8: California Residents

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. The 50-state models available for sale in California are identified by the letter “B” in the ninth position of the model number (e.g., R16RTE87B). The POLARIS 50-state models are designed and built with features such as a reduced cargo box capacity. Any modifications to these features may be a violation of the applicable California regulations and may void this limited emissions warranty offered by the manufacturer.

The California evaporative emissions control system limited warranty statement below applies to your Off Highway Recreational Vehicle in California if the vehicle is equipped with an evaporative emission control system and is labeled with a Vehicle Evaporative Emissions Control Information label indicating that the vehicle conforms to California evaporative emissions regulations applicable to new off-road sport vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, or off-road utility vehicles. These vehicles are referred to as “OHRV-EVAP” below.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Polaris Industries Inc. is pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your model year 2018 and newer Off Highway Recreational Vehicle. In California, new off-highway recreational vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Polaris must warrant the emission control system on your OHRV-EVAP for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your OHRV-EVAP.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, fuel tank, fuel hoses, carbon canister, engine computer and Evaporative Emissions Control System parts listed in the U.S.A. EPA Emissions Limited Warranty. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Polaris will repair your OHRV-EVAP at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

For model year 2018 and newer OHRV-EVAP models.

If any emission-related part on your OHRV-EVAP is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Polaris.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the OHRV-EVAP owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Polaris recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your OHRV-EVAP, but Polaris cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of a scheduled maintenance.

As an owner you are responsible for presenting your OHRV-EVAP to a Polaris dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

As an OHRV-EVAP owner, you should also be aware that Polaris may deny you warranty coverage if your OHRV-EVAP or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

ADD-ON OR MODIFIED PARTS

An add-on or modified part must be compliant with applicable CARB emission control standards. A violation of this requirement is punishable by civil and/or criminal punishment.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Polaris Customer Assistance at 1-800-POLARIS (1-800-765-2747) or the California Air Resources Board at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91731.
