Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s manual.
The break-in period for your new vehicle is the first 50 hours of operation. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
Excessive heat build-up during the first 3 hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first 3 hours of use.
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel.
Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures.
Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
Pull only light loads.
Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 50 hours or one month, and every 200 hours thereafter.
Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.
Always break in the clutches and drive belt of new vehicles, as well as after a belt replacement.
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.
If a belt fails and you need to replace it, always clean all debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct, the clutch, and the engine components.
Do not allow anyone under 16 years of age or without a valid driver’s license to operate this vehicle.
Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
Never operate with accessories not approved by POLARIS for use on this vehicle.
Use caution and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain and darkness. Clean headlights frequently and replace burned out headlamps promptly.
Always operate at a speed that's appropriate for the terrain, the visibility and operating conditions and your skills and experience. Never operate at excessive speeds. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Keep both hands on the steering wheel or handlebars during operation.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure.
Never operate a damaged vehicle. After any rollover or accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for possible damage.
Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight and moving force of the vehicle, you and your cargo, together with any other vehicles in your party.

Bio-diesel blended fuel has unique qualities that should be considered before using it in this vehicle:
Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system components and hard starting.
Bio-diesel blended fuel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination which can cause corrosion and plugging of fuel system components.
Use of bio-diesel blended fuel may result in premature failure of fuel system components, such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines.
Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as cleaning the fuel system and replacing fuel filters and fuel lines.
Using bio-diesel blended fuels containing more than 20% bio-diesel can affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubes, injectors, injector pump and seals.
Use the following guidelines if bio-diesel blended fuel is used:
Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than 20% bio-diesel in this vehicle.
Ensure the fuel tank is as full as possible at all times to prevent moisture from collecting in the fuel tank.
Ensure that the fuel tank cap is securely tightened.
Clean up any spilled fuel immediately to prevent damage to painted surfaces.
Drain all water from the fuel filter daily before operating the vehicle.
Do not exceed the engine oil change interval. Extended intervals can result in engine damage.
Before vehicle storage, drain the fuel tank, refill with 100% petroleum diesel fuel, add fuel stabilizer and run the engine for at least 30 minutes.
Avoid operating in the presence of chemical gases or fumes.
Avoid operating in a corrosive atmosphere such as salt water spray.
NEVER operate the engine in a floodplain unless proper precautions are taken to avoid being subject to a flood.
NEVER expose the engine to the rain.
The standard range of ambient temperatures for the normal operation of Kubota® engines is from +5 f (-15 c) to +104 f (+40 c).
If the ambient temperature exceeds +104 f (+40 c), the engine may overheat and cause the engine oil to break down.
If the ambient temperature is between +5 f (-15 c) and -25 f (-32 c), POLARIS recommends the use of a block heater.
NEVER use an engine starting aid such as ether. Engine damage will result.
Before operating this vehicle in cold weather, review the cold weather operation information on the preceding pages. Always wait for the glow plug indicator light to turn off before cranking the engine.
Always start the engine outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Apply the brakes. Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the engine.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait for the glow plug indicator light to turn off.
Turn the ignition key past the ON position to START. Engage the starter for a maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start within five seconds, release the ignition switch and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the engine starts.
For maximum engine life, allow the engine to idle, without load, for 5 minutes. This will allow the engine components that operate at high temperatures, such as the exhaust system, to cool slightly before the engine is shut down.
Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Engage the park brake.
Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
Turn the engine off and remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
Release the throttle pedal completely.
Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly.

Your model is equipped with a lockable differential, you can choose to operate with an open differential or a closed differential.
1 All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
2 Differential Lock
3 Differential Unlock
Press the top of the switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD). The 4X4 indicator illuminates in the rider information center to indicate that the vehicle is in AWD. When the AWD switch is on, the front gearcase will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the front gearcase will automatically disengage. There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD. Initially, the vehicle's electronic system will not enable the AWD until the engine RPM is below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the AWD switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to AWD.
Move the AWD switch to the center or bottom position to disengage AWD. If the switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.
In some situations, the front gearcase may remain locked after turning the AWD switch off. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering effort and some vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following procedure to unlock the front gearcase.
To disengage AWD, do the following:
Stop the vehicle.
Operate in reverse for at least 10 ft (3 m).
Stop completely.
Shift into low gear and drive forward.
If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions, see your dealer or other qualified service person for service.
Move the rocker switch to the center position to lock the differential and operate in two wheel drive (2WD). Locking the differential in slippery or low traction conditions helps improve traction. When the rear differential is locked, both rear wheels rotate at the same speed.
When operating in TURF mode, the inside rear wheel will rotate independently from the outside wheel during turns. Operate in TURF mode only as needed to protect smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. DO NOT operate in TURF mode when climbing or descending hills, when sidehilling, or when operating on uneven, loose, or slippery terrain such as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and water crossings. Always operate in AWD on these types of terrain.
Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive wheels to operate independently (1WD). When the rear differential is unlocked, the rear wheels can rotate at different speeds. Unlock the differential to make maneuvering easier and minimize damage to turf.
All riders should wear substantial footwear, long pants and a close-fitting shirt. A hard hat or helmet and approved eye protection are recommended when appropriate for working or riding conditions.
Perform the pre-ride inspection.
Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt.
Place the transmission in PARK.

Release the park brake.
Keeping both hands on the steering wheel, slowly release the brakes and slowly depress the throttle with your right foot to begin driving.
Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces.
Do not carry a passenger until you have at least two hours of driving experience with this vehicle.
Perform the pre-ride inspection.
Make sure all passengers are at least 12 years of age and tall enough to comfortably and safely sit in a passenger seat with the seat belt secured, put both feet on the floor and grasp the hand hold.
All riders should wear substantial footwear, long pants and a close-fitting shirt. A hard hat or helmet and approved eye protection are recommended when appropriate for working or riding conditions.
Do not carry more than the recommended number of passengers for your vehicle.
Allow a passenger to ride only in a passenger seat.
Slow down. Always travel at a speed appropriate for your skills, your passengers’ skills, and operating conditions. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause discomfort or injury to a passenger.
Vehicle handling may change with a passenger and/or cargo on board. Allow more time and distance for braking.
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:
Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
Slow down before entering slippery areas.
Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
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:
Avoid excessively steep hills.
Always travel straight uphill.
Keep both feet on the floor.
Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the throttle suddenly.
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.
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 sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
Slow down.
Exercise extreme caution.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill.
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
Avoid excessively steep hills.
Always descend a hill with the direction selector switch on forward. Never descend a hill with the switch on neutral.
Drive straight downhill. Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when possible.
Slow down.
Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
Your vehicle can operate through water up to a maximum recommended depth equal to the floorboards.
Follow these procedures when operating through water:
Determine water depths and current before entering water.
Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles.
Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeatedly until braking action is normal.
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. Always inspect left and right fields of vision before backing.
Always avoid backing downhill.
Back slowly.
Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
Avoid turning at sharp angles.
Never open the throttle suddenly.
Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for hazards such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.
Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not all obstacles are immediately visible.
Avoid operating over large obstacles such as large rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate slowly.
Always have all passengers dismount and move away from the vehicle before operating over an obstacle that could cause a rollover.
To park the vehicle, do the following:
Apply the brakes. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
When parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure that the structure is well ventilated and that the vehicle is not close to any source of flame or sparks, including any appliance with pilot lights.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Turn the engine off.
Engage the park brake.
Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
Remove the ignition switch key to prevent unauthorized use.
Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these precautions:
Apply the brakes.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Engage the park brake.
Turn the engine off.
Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
Block the rear wheels on the downhill side.
Hauling cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:
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, passengers, non-factory installed accessories, loads in the rack or box and the load on the trailer tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING WHEN HAULING CARGO.
Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible.
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions.
Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling or towing loads.
Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available. Always use LOW gear when towing or hauling heavy loads.
SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point designated for your vehicle.
HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may require backing downhill.
USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing a rollover.
DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 kph) while towing a load on a level grass surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 mph (8 kph) when towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.
Your vehicle has been designed to carry or tow specific capacities. Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the warning labels. The total load (operator, passengers, non-factory installed accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
Always follow these precautions when towing:
Never load more than 250 lb (113.4 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
When towing a disabled vehicle, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 kph) when towing.
Towing a trailer increases braking distance. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 kph) when towing.
Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle.
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.
The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

To dump the cargo box, do the following:
Select a level site to dump the cargo box. Do not attempt to dump or unload the vehicle while parked on an incline.
Apply the brakes. Place the transmission in PARK.
Engage the park brake.
Ensure that the cargo is positioned evenly or toward the front of the cargo box.
Release the tailgate by pulling up on the tailgate latch.
Stand clear and pull up on the cargo box release lever 1. Lift the front of the cargo box to dump the cargo.
Lower the cargo box and push down securely to latch.
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.
Read all sections of this manual.
Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.
Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.
Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.
Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.
Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on Shock Loading.
Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.
Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not being used.
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.
Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.
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.
If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
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.
If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.
Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.
Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated capacity.
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.
Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.
Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy gloves.
Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.
Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.
Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.
Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.
Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch components.
Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.
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.
Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually need to use it in the field.
Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.
Each winching situation is unique.
Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do.
Proceed slowly and deliberately.
Never hurry or rush during winching.
Always pay attention to your surroundings.
You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working.
Always remember that your winch is very powerful.
There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.
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.
Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.
Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/ or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.
Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.
Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.
Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the load to the winch cable.
A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to stretch.
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.
Never remove the hook strap from the hook.
Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.
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.
Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use.
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.
Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is spooled out.
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.
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.
Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.
Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.
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:
Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch cable.
Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s centerline.
Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s frame following instructions in this manual.
Re-engage the clutch on the winch.
Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.
Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction of winching.
Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.
Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the vehicle.
Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without the help of the winch.
Detach the winch cable hook.
Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the instructions in this manual.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Release the clutch on the winch.
Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.
Re-engage the winch clutch.
Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg) of tension using the hook strap.
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.
Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself between lower layers of winch cable.
Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE INJURY.
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.
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.
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.
Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or “shock” loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.
Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope and synthetic-rope winch cables.
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.
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.
Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.
Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch.
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.
Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.
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 vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1a. 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 https://ecfr.federalregister.gov/current/title-43/subtitle-B/chapter-I/part-420.
Exhaust emissions are controlled by engine design. A fuel injection system controls fuel delivery. The engine and fuel injection components are set at the factory for optimal performance and are not adjustable.
Your engine is designed to operate on ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with emissions requirements.

This engine has a wet-sump design, meaning the engine oil is contained in the bottom of the crankcase. To check the oil level, follow the procedure listed below:
Check the oil when the engine is cold and safe to touch.
Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface and that the transmission in PARK.
Locate the dipstick 1 on the right side of the unit.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
Reinstall the dipstick and push it into place.
Make certain the dipstick is inserted all the way into the dipstick tube to keep the depth of the dipstick consistent.
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
Add the recommended oil as necessary to bring the oil level within the SAFE range on dipstick. Do not overfill.
A rising oil level between checks during cold weather operation can indicate contaminants such as gas or moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil level is over the upper mark, change the oil immediately.
With the cargo box raised, add engine oil through the oil fill cap 2 located on top of the valve cover, under the cargo box.
When finished, reinstall dipstick. Lower the cargo box and secure in position.
Check around and under the engine for oil leaks.
Always change engine oil and filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Always change the oil filter whenever changing the engine oil.
The engine oil dipstick is located on the right front side of the engine. The engine oil fill cap is located on top of the valve cover. Access the oil fill cap by tilting the rear cargo box.
The crankcase drain plug is located on the bottom of the crankcase. Access the drain plug through the skid plate access hole located directly under the crankcase.
Position vehicle on a level surface and place the transmission in PARK.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
Clean the area around the crankcase drain plug.
Use caution when performing this procedure. Do not allow hot engine oil to come into contact with skin, as serious burns may result.

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.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the overflow bottle.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water.
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.
Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair, replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. If the recovery bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should be inspected. Add coolant as needed.
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Interference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and consequent engine damage.
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

POLARIS recommends the use of 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.
Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended.
Change the oil and filter. See the Engine Oil section.
Replace the air filter. See Maintenance Chapter. Clean the air box.
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
Demand drive fluid (front gearcase)
Rear gearcase fluid (if equipped)
Transmission fluid
Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark or contaminated)
Coolant (test strength/fill)
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a genuine POLARIS cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
Charge the battery if necessary. Install it in the vehicle.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection section. Tightness of the bolts, nuts and other fasteners should be checked by an authorized POLARIS dealer.
Lubricate at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
The weight distribution of the cargo loaded onto the trailer is important and will have an impact on how the vehicle handles on the road. Ensure the weight of the cargo is distributed properly and the trailer is not rear, front, or side heavy.
Always use a spotter if you are uncomfortable loading the vehicle on your own. A wheel chock or marker can also be used as an indication of how close you will park the vehicle from the front of the trailer.
When loading or unloading a vehicle onto a trailer, always wear the appropriate safety gear, including an approved helmet.
Always secure cargo properly. Improperly securing a load can result in severe injury or death.
Securing devices, such as tie-down straps, are manufactured to support a load that can be applied during normal service. This is known as the Working Load Limit (WLL).
Vehicle Type | Tie-Down Minimum WLL |
---|---|
All Vehicles | 3,300 lb (1497 kg) |
Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.
Properly load the vehicle onto the trailer or towing vehicle.
Apply the brakes.
Place the transmission in PARK. Set the parking brake. Stop the engine.
Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.
Ensure that all seats are attached correctly and are not loose.
Secure the fuel cap, and doors (if equipped).
Cargo and other loose vehicle parts may fall off while transporting the vehicle. Secure or remove all cargo, and inspect the unit for loose parts prior to transport.
Do not exceed the towing vehicle's or trailer’s towing capacity when transporting. Refer to the towing vehicle and trailer’s specifications.
If transporting the vehicle in a non-enclosed trailer, the vehicle must FACE FORWARD, or the roof must be removed. Failure to comply may allow airflow, vibration, or other factors to separate the roof from the vehicle and cause an accident, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Using tie-down straps of suitable Working Load Limit (WLL), secure the vehicle to the trailer at the designated tie-down points (front and rear). The straps must be secured in a manner that provides support in both vertical and lateral directions. Ensure that they are set with enough tension as to compress the suspension and prevent vehicle movement during transport. Do not allow the secured straps to make contact with any other part of the trailer or cargo.
Periodically inspect the vehicle and trailer during transit. Adjust cargo and straps as needed to ensure that the cargo cannot shift, or fall from the trailer or towing vehicle.

Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|
Driving onto a pickup or tall trailer in high range | Use low range during loading. |
Starting out going up a steep incline | Use low range. |
Driving at low RPM or ground speed 3–7 mph (4.8–11.3 kph) | Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently. |
Insufficient warm-up at low ambient temperatures | Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission in neutral, advance the throttle to about 1/8 throttle in short bursts, 5 to 7 times. The belt will become more flexible and prevent belt burning. |
Slow/easy clutch engagement | Use the throttle quickly and effectively. |
Towing/pushing at low RPM/low ground speed | Use low range only. |
Utility use/plowing | Use low range only. |
Stuck in mud or snow | Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast,
aggressive throttle application to engage clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover. |
Climbing over large objects from a stopped position | Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast,
brief, aggressive throttle application to engage clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover. |
Belt slippage from water or snow ingestion into the PVT system | Dry out the PVT. Prevent water from entering the PVT intake duct. See Intake Pre-Filters for more information. Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated leaking occurs. |
Clutch malfunction | An authorized dealer can assist. |
Poor engine performance | Check for clogged air filter, clogged fuel filter, water in the fuel or foreign material in fuel tank or fuel lines. An authorized dealer can assist. |
Slippage from failure to warm up belt | Always warm up the belt by operating below 30 mph (48 kph) for 1 mi (1.6 km) (5 mi (8 km) or more when temperature is below freezing). |
Wrong or missing belt | Install the recommended belt. |
Improper break-in | Always break in a new belt and/or clutch. |

POLARIS Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS vehicle against defects in material or workmanship. 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, 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.
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.
This POLARIS limited warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CLAIMS OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN. This warranty also does not cover acts of God, accidental damage, normal wear and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does not cover any vehicle, component, or part that has been altered structurally, modified, neglected, improperly maintained or used for racing, competition or purposes other than for which it was designed.
This warranty excludes damages or failures resulting from improper lubrication; improper engine timing; improper fuel; surface imperfections caused by external stress, heat, cold or contamination; operator error or abuse; improper component alignment, tension, adjustment or altitude compensation; snow, water, dirt or other foreign substance ingestion/contamination; improper maintenance; modified components; use of aftermarket or unapproved components, accessories, or attachments; use of unapproved software or calibration; unauthorized repairs; or repairs made after the warranty period expires or by an unauthorized repair center.
This warranty excludes damages or failures caused by abuse, accident, fire, or any other cause other than a defect in materials or workmanship and provides no coverage for consumable components, general wear items, or any parts exposed to friction surfaces, stresses, environmental conditions and/or contamination for which they were not designed or not intended, including but not limited to the following items:

COVERAGE
KUBOTA® warrants to the initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your engine will be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. KUBOTA® also warrants to the initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your engine shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform to applicable regulations for the period mentioned above from the original date of sale.
KUBOTA® shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized KUBOTA® engine dealer or warranty station. Any authorized work done at an authorized dealer or warranty station shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a warranted part is defective. Any KUBOTA® approved or equivalent replacement part (including any KUBOTA® approved aftermarket part) may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs on emission related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty.
KUBOTA® is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty. The use of replacement parts not equivalent to the original parts may impair the effectiveness of your engine emission control system. If such a replacement part is used in the repair or maintenance of your engine, and KUBOTA® determines it is defective or causes a failure of a warranted part, your claim for repair of your engine may be denied.

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.
POLARIS Inc. warrants that at the time is first purchased, this
vehicle is:
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform, at the time of sale, with all applicable California evaporative emissions regulations.
Free from defects in material and workmanship that may cause the failure of a warranted part as defined in California evaporative emissions regulations. All replacement parts must be identical in all material respects to that part as described in the OHRV manufacturer’s Executive Order of Certification application.
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. are 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.
For 30 months, or 2500 mi (4023 km), or 250 hours, whichever comes first, except for evaporative components over the OHRV high-priced warranty value, which is covered for 60 months, or 5000 mi (8047 km), or 500 hours, whichever comes first.
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.
