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.

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, use genuine POLARIS parts available from your dealer.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log.

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

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

Perform all services at whichever maintenance interval is reached first. Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log.

XU Perform these procedures more often for vehicles subjected to severe use.

D Have an authorized Polaris dealer or other qualified person perform these services.

Check and lubricate all components at the intervals outlined in the 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.

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. Proceed to the next page for brake fluid information.

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 section.

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 the steering feels rough or “catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an authorized dealer.

Adjust the front and rear shock absorber springs by rotating the adjustment cam either clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease spring tension.

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

• Always return the suspension to the lowest (softest 1) 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 both rear wheels.

• Never operate the vehicle on the highest (stiffest 2) or second highest preload settings without a total combined payload in the vehicle of 450 lbs. (204 kg) or more. Payload includes the driver, approved accessories and cargo. Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.

Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and replace burned out lamps promptly. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is replaced. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.

When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp.

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.
