Improper use, maintenance, or modification of this vehicle can lead to serious injury or death.

Require proper use of your vehicle. Do not allow anyone to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger unless they are properly instructed and you are sure they are willing to ride responsibly. To prevent unauthorized use, always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use.

Any modifications or installation of non-POLARIS-approved accessories could increase the risk of injury. While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to POLARIS accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or others. It is never appropriate to install any additional seating.

Check with the manufacturer to determine any potential effect of a modification or accessory on the safe use of your vehicle. You are responsible for injuries related to modifications to the vehicle. Modifications or accessories may:

• Damage machine components - especially modifications that increase speed or power.

• Make the vehicle less stable at higher speeds.

• Add weight, reducing the amount of cargo and total weight you can carry, and raise the vehicle’s center of gravity.

• Overload the vehicle’s electrical system capacity. Blowing a fuse may cause a loss of lights or engine power.

• Reduce the effectiveness of occupant protection systems, including the seatbelts and the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS).

• Make it illegal to own or operate your vehicle. POLARIS-authorized spark arresters, mufflers, and emissions control components are mandatory for ownership or operation in many areas.

• Void your warranty.

The vehicle ROPS, when used with the seat belts and doors, provides a structure to help protect occupants. The structure will not protect occupants in all rollovers or accidents.

For more information about safety, contact an authorized dealer or visit the Polaris website at www.polaris.com.

Make sure operators are 16 or older with a valid driver’s license. Just because a teenager has a license does not mean that they will make good judgments about driving and avoid risk taking.

POLARIS recommends that you supervise younger drivers. Set rules and put limits on how, when, and where they are allowed to use this vehicle. For example, young drivers may need to have an adult in the vehicle with them and not be allowed to drive with their friends in the vehicle.

Make sure all riders fit the vehicle. Be sure that the driver and all passengers are able to:

• sit with their backs against their seat,

• adjust the seat belt to fit properly,

• have both feet flat on the floor, and

• have both hands on the steering wheel or on a passenger hand hold.

Do not allow children who need child safety seats or booster seats to ride in the vehicle. The vehicle is not designed to restrain automotive child safety seats.

You are responsible for your passengers. Be sure passengers are seated properly, belted, holding the passenger hand hold, and ready to brace. Unrestrained riders can fall out or be thrown around and from a moving vehicle.

Every person must be properly seated and belted in their own seat. Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision and be seriously injured. Never carry passengers in the cargo bed as they could be thrown against or out of the vehicle or come into contact with moving parts.

Do not let people drive or ride after using alcohol or drugs.

Before starting off, always perform the Pre-Ride Inspection. Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle is in safe operating condition increases the risk of an accident, which can lead to serious injury or death.

Improper tire maintenance can lead to loss of control and an accident, which could result in serious injury or death. To reduce your risk of injury:

• Maintain POLARIS recommended tire pressure. Check pressure before operating. Even if your vehicle has only been driven a short distance, the tire pressure readings can become higher.

• Make sure tire pressures match the specifications listed in the table below.

• Only use the size and type of tires specified for this vehicle.

• Do not operate your vehicle with worn or damaged tires.

• Always follow your tire manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance.

Wear an approved helmet. Riding in this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet increases the risk of serious injury. For example, a helmet reduces your risk of injury from head strikes with the vehicle or other objects even if there is no crash.

Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label. Approved helmets in Europe, Asia, and Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted approval. The approval number and serial number will also be displayed on the label.

Use shatterproof goggles or a shatterproof helmet face shield. Such protective eyewear may reduce the risk of foreign material getting in your eyes and help prevent loss of vision.

POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that have markings indicating they are designed to standards such as:

• VESC 8

• V-8

• Z87.1

• CE

Additional protective clothing and gear that may be appropriate for your riding conditions includes:

• Always wear shoes when operating. Consider wearing sturdy over-the-ankle boots suitable for the terrain you will be riding in.

• Full-finger gloves can protect against wind, sun, cold, and objects. Choose gloves that fit snugly and allow fingers to move freely and grip on the steering wheel or hand holds.

• Consider long sleeves and long pants to help protect arms and legs.

• Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Properly worn hearing protective devices such as earplugs can help prevent hearing loss. Check local laws or the rules of the riding area you are in before wearing hearing protection to make sure its use is permitted.

Always stay completely inside the vehicle and hold the steering wheel or hand holds. Body parts outside of the vehicle can be struck by passing objects or crushed during a rollover. Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto the ROPS frame or put any part of your body on the door.

Riding in this vehicle without closed and latched cab doors increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or rollover. Always make sure all cab doors are closed and latched while riding in this vehicle. Keep clear of the door area when closing the doors, as hands or feet may be pinched between the door and ROPS.

Be sure riders pay attention and plan ahead. If you think or feel the vehicle may tip or roll, reduce your risk of injury:

• Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or hand holds and brace yourself.

• Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason.

This vehicle is not designed to carry unrestrained pets. An unrestrained pet can be thrown about and injure riders, even during normal operation. When transporting pets, use a pet crate suitable for off-road use that is secured to the vehicle.

Fuels such as gasoline can be extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, never carry fuel or other flammable liquids on this vehicle. Rollovers, crashes, rough riding, or changes in elevation or temperature may lead to fuel spilling or vapor release from portable containers. Hot vehicle parts can cause fires, even after the engine has been turned off.

Never exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight capacity (including riders, cargo, and accessories) is shown in the SPECIFICATIONS tables in this Owner’s Manual. The cargo box can support up to 1500 lbs. (680 kg) of that total. When more rider weight is added, cargo weight may need to be eliminated to stay under the maximum vehicle weight capacity limit. Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly will cause changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.

Secure cargo in the cargo box as far forward, centered and as low as possible. When cargo cannot be positioned and secured in this way, operate with extra caution. Unsecured cargo can strike and injure riders, affect vehicle handling, and result in loss of control.

The weight of riders and cargo changes vehicle braking, handling, and stability. To avoid loss of control, turn gradually, operate at slower speeds, and avoid rougher or steeper terrain.

Drive Responsibly. This vehicle has higher ground clearance and other features to handle rugged terrain. It can be overturned in situations where some other vehicles may not. Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control, rollovers, severe injury or death. To avoid loss of control and rollovers:

• Avoid abrupt maneuvers, sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts.

• Slow down before entering turn.

• Avoid hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop.

High speed off-road operation
Driving off-road vehicles to test the limits of your skills or abilities can be very dangerous to you, passengers, and bystanders. Basic skills for driving a car, ATV, or other off-road vehicles do not equip drivers to safely attempt high speed off-road operation. Develop your skill gradually through training, practice, and experience with the various driving modes of this vehicle and the terrain in which you are operating. Always do a low speed reconnaissance run (prerun) to become aware of anything you may encounter.

High speed off-road operation can lead to loss of control, crashes, or hard landings that can seriously injure occupants (even without rolling the vehicle or damaging it).

If you plan on using the vehicle for high speed, off-road competition, additional safety equipment may be necessary. Check the rules that apply to your competition.

Do not go over jumps — going airborne can lead to serious injury or death. Going airborne can cause loss of control, rollovers, or crashing into the ground and may damage the vehicle. Even without crashing, landings can be hard enough to cause vehicle suspension to fully compress (e.g., bottom out). Serious injuries, including spinal injuries, can occur even if riders are properly harnessed, wearing helmets and the vehicle is not damaged and remains upright.

You may encounter slopes, "jumps", or other terrain features that could send the vehicle airborne, depending on your speed. These may be defectively designed, poorly maintained, or not suitable for this vehicle. Slow down, use extra care, and avoid going airborne. Never take this vehicle over jumps.

Watching someone else go over a jump or go airborne does not mean you can safely do so. Polaris cannot determine whether any jump you may encounter is appropriate for this vehicle. Any jump, even a small one, could be poorly maintained, designed, or not suitable for this vehicle and may cause serious injury or death.

Plan for hills, rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and terrain. Proceed slowly and with extra care on unfamiliar terrain. Avoid paved surfaces. Sudden changes in terrain such as holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder ground, or other irregularities may cause loss of control or rollover. Give yourself time to react to rocks, bumps, or holes that may be hard to see. Operating in deep snow or tall grass may make it harder to see obstacles.

If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as a fallen tree or a ditch, stop the vehicle in a safe place. Get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look from both your approach side and exit side. If you are reasonably confident you can continue safely, choose the path that will allow you to go straight over the obstacle to minimize the vehicle tipping sideways. Go only fast enough to maintain your momentum, but still give yourself plenty of time to react to changes in conditions. If there is any question about your ability to maneuver safely over the obstacle, you should turn around if the ground is flat and you have the room, or back up until you find a less difficult path.

Abrupt application of the accelerator pedal can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control of the vehicle and increasing the possibility of an accident, especially while on sloped terrain or while crossing obstacles such as rocks or logs.

Avoid Operating on Public Roads (Paved or Otherwise). This vehicle does not have highway safety features that on-road vehicles may have (air bags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, etc.). If another vehicle collides with you, the likelihood of a serious injury or death may be greater. Also, you may not be able to avoid a crash or rollover if you make sudden or abrupt maneuvers such as swerving or emergency braking.

While it may be legal to drive on some public roads, it is recommended that you avoid on-road operation. If you must drive on-road, drive slowly and defensively. Use extra care. You may also need to make vehicle modifications to comply with state or local laws. In addition, refer to tire manufacturer’s instructions or limitations for on-road operation, including speed limits and premature tire wear.

Improperly operating on hills can cause loss of control, rollover, or accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. Use extra care when operating on hills. Plan for rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and terrain.

Driving up hills
Check the terrain before ascending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or loose. Engage all-wheel drive for hills. Drive straight uphill, keeping speed and throttle steady. Avoid steep hills which can cause the vehicle to overturn.

Recovering from stalling on a hill
If the vehicle loses forward speed, apply the brakes gradually and stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle around. Instead, shift to reverse and allow the vehicle to slowly roll straight downhill. Apply light brake pressure to control speed.

Overtopping a hill
Slow down when you reach the crest of a hill. Never blindly go over the crest of a hill or a drop off at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.

Driving down hills
Check the terrain before descending a hill and make sure it is not too slippery or loose. Engage all-wheel drive and proceed slowly, applying the brakes lightly. Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral or if the engine is turned off.

Avoid side hilling (riding across slopes)
If unavoidable, proceed slowly and with extra caution. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that could cause the vehicle to tip or slide. If it feels like the vehicle begins to tip or slide, immediately turn downhill.

Riding near wooded areas or brush
Use extra caution when operating near trees, particularly when operating on narrow trails. Tree branches or brush can be driven into the cab striking or stabbing occupants.

Riding in snow
Always keep the brake and accelerator pedals free of snow and ice. Apply the brakes frequently to prevent ice or snow accumulation on the brake pads which can reduce brake performance.

Riding on ice
Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have verified that the ice can support the weight of the vehicle. Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle falls through the ice.

Riding in water / Falling into water
Operating through deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of traction, loss of control, overturning, or being swept away in water. You can be seriously injured or killed from entrapment and drowning. Never operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water that exceeds the floorboard of the vehicle. Avoid sharp drop-offs and large rocks. Choose a path that provides an entrance and exit point with gradual inclines. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.

Riding on sand dunes
Use extra caution when operating on or near dunes. Be alert for changes in terrain. Never blindly go over the crest of a hill or a drop-off at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or a person could be on the other side of the hill.

Riding in low-visibility conditions
Use extra caution and drive slowly in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain, and darkness.

Operating in low-traction environments
When operating the vehicle in low-traction environments, creep mode may result in unpredictable movements. Use extra caution when utilizing the creep function.

Plan ahead to avoid the need for evasive maneuvers, such as swerving. Hitting an obstacle — including wildlife — you are not ready for can be dangerous. Choosing to swerve instead can be even more dangerous because it can lead to loss of control, rollover, or collisions.

When operating in areas with possibility of wildlife appearing in your path, plan ahead to avoid swerving for animals if doing so could result in collisions or rollovers. Go slowly or avoid driving during seasons or times of day when animals such as deer are more likely to cross your path without warning.

Avoid Collisions With Other Vehicles
When following another vehicle or operating in the same area as others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions. Allow extra space when sight distances are limited by dust, snow, curves, hills, or other conditions. Plan ahead to avoid having to swerve or leave the trail to avoid a collision.

On trails, be prepared to make space for other vehicles to pass. If you need to stop on a trail, move your vehicle to the edge of the path to allow others to pass safely.

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

If the vehicle begins to slide downhill or you feel it may tip, turn downhill immediately and stop. Maneuver slowly and carefully until you can drive straight downhill.

Do not continue driving if your vehicle may be damaged or if you were in a crash or rollover.
Operating the vehicle while damaged or after a crash or rollover can cause loss of control, rollover, or accident, which can lead to serious injury or death. If you cannot safely transport the vehicle on your own, contact a recovery and towing service.

After any crash, rollover, or other accident, have a authorized POLARIS dealer inspect the vehicle for possible damage, including seat belts, ROPS, brakes, suspension, and steering systems.

Be prepared in case your vehicle becomes damaged or disabled, especially in remote areas. Consider in advance how to get help and stay safe until it arrives whenever you ride.

There is a recovery tow loop 1 at the front and back of the vehicle to attach a winch or strap.
Use these loops to recover this vehicle if it is stuck, to pull it onto a tow truck, trailer, or to use this vehicle to recover another vehicle. These loops are for emergency recovery only and are not for towing vehicles to another location.

Improper recovery may lead to loss of control or vehicle damage. Only attach straps to specified locations. Do not attach to any other point on the vehicle. Only recover a vehicle of equal or lesser size and weight. When recovering a disabled vehicle, engage the transmission neutral disconnect. Do not move a disabled POLARIS RANGER faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).

Operating, Idling, Or Parking Near Combustible Materials
Engine, exhaust, and other vehicle components can be very hot during and after use. Do not idle or park the vehicle over anything that could contact the exhaust system and catch on fire, such as tall grass, weeds, brush, leaves, debris, or other tall ground cover. Do not let mud, grass, or other debris accumulate on the engine or exhaust system. Inspect and remove as needed.

Vehicle rollaway can cause serious injury or death. Even when stationary, the vehicle may move whenever the gear selector is not in the PARK (P) position or when the brakes are not applied. Always shift to PARK (P) when turning off the engine or leaving the vehicle. Use extra care, when leaving the vehicle on an incline is unavoidable. If leaving the vehicle unattended on a hill, block the rear wheels on the downhill side and keep children, pets and others away from the gear selector.

Before shifting into reverse, use extra care to make sure the area is clear of people or obstacles. When it’s safe to proceed, back slowly.

After operation, inspect the vehicle for damage and debris to make sure the vehicle can be safely stored and operated again. Some things to inspect include:

• Debris that could catch fire, such as mud/grass near the engine or exhaust system

• Damage to the suspension, steering, or any other part of the vehicle

• Tire condition, such as tread and sidewall damage

• Shock absorber assembly condition

Be sure to have any issues checked and problems fixed before operating again.

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

• Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

• Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or carports. If you start a vehicle in one of these, drive it out and close the door as soon as possible. If you drive it into one of these, turn it off as soon as possible.

• Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.

Do not drive on rough terrain with the tip out windshield open (if equipped). With windshield in vented or fully tipped up position, do not drive on rough terrain. Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) for vented position, or 15 mph (24 km/h) for fully tipped up position. Keep windshield closed and latched in all other driving conditions. Failure to do so could cause the windshield system to fail resulting in serious injury or death.

Warning labels have been placed on the vehicle for your protection. Read and follow the instructions of the labels on the vehicle carefully. If any of the labels depicted in this manual differ from the labels on your vehicle, always read and follow the instructions of the labels on the vehicle.

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so may affect compliance with noise level requirements.

Your vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1D. 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.

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

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

The emissions label is located on the inside of the lower left frame tube (below driver’s foot area).

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

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

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

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

It is a potential violation of the law 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 law.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in this owner’s manual. Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in safe, reliable condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related service.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on Maintenance Log. Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a qualified dealer can perform these operations. Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more frequently.

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

Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the POLARIS Maintenance Schedule. Always use the recommended engine oil. Always change the oil filter whenever changing oil.

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause. Your authorized POLARIS dealer can assist.

Level Inspection

1. In a well ventilated area, start the engine and allow the unit to idle for a minimum of ten seconds.

2. With the engine still running, shift the gear lever into each position (P-R-D) for a minimum of five seconds before changing gears.

3. Move the gear level into the “D” position.

4. Release the foot brake and drive the unit to reach an engine speed no higher than 2500 rpms.

5. Drive the unit around for approximately five minutes or until the transmission reaches 140° F (60° C).

6. Park the unit on flat ground.

7. While still idling and stationary, shift the unit into the “R” position and hold for ten seconds.

8. Shift the unit into the “P” position and leave idling.

9. With the engine still running, remove the oil level inspection plug and allow the oil to drain in a suitable container.

   

10. A minimum of 0.2 liters of oil should flow out of the inspection plug. See table for next step based off amount fluid collected from step 9.

    FLUID AMOUNT COLLECTED	ACTION
    Less than 0.2 liters	Add approximately 0.5 liters of fluid to transmission and repeat steps 1–10.
    Equal or greater than 0.2 liters	Proceed to step 11.

11. Shut the engine off.

12. Reinstall oil level plug with new sealing ring.

    TORQUE

    Transmission Oil Level Plug:
    15 ft-lbs (21 N·m)

The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the expansion tank, pressure cap, and connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the coolant expands which builds pressure in the system. The coolant level in the bottle may rise. As coolant temperature decreases, the coolant contracts and relieves the pressure in the system.

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 expansion tank.

HVAC Fresh Air Intake Filter Cleaning

The HVAC Fresh Air Intake filter is located below the hood.

1. Loosen the worm gear clamp that secures the filter. Remove the filter from the vehicle.

2. Clean the filter with low air pressure. Check for damage, replace if damaged or excessively dirty.

HVAC Recirculation Filter Cleaning

The HVAC Recirculation filter is located beneath the dash in the HVAC airbox.

1. Using an interior trim tool, remove the HVAC filter trim. Start from the top (3 tabs) then remove the two below it on the outer edges.

2. When the top and side tabs have all released from the console, pull up on the trim panel to remove.

3. Remove the recirculation filter from the housing.

4. Clean the filter with low pressure air. Check for damage, replace if damaged or excessively dirty.

HVAC Evaporator Cleaning

The HVAC Evaporator is located beneath the dash in the HVAC airbox.

1. Using a interior trim tool, remove the HVAC filter trim. Start from the top (3 tabs) then remove the two below it on the outer edges. Pull the trim panel up to disengage the two lower locating tabs from the console panel.

2. Remove the recirculation filter from the housing.

3. Inspect the evaporator. If it is excessively dirty, clean the evaporator with low pressure water or air.

4. Inspect the condensate drain. The condensate drain must be clear of all debris to ensure proper system function.

   NOTICE

   If the condensate drain is not clear, remove debris from the airbox and flush with water until clear. If the drain does not clear, see your authorized POLARIS dealer.

If it's impossible to take your RANGER to a authorized POLARIS dealer before starting it, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Move the vehicle to dry land or at the very least, to water below the floorboard.

2. Dry any water present in the air box. Filter replacement is required if water is present.

4. Remove the spark plugs. Turn the engine over several times using the electric start.

5. Dry the spark plugs and reinstall, or replace with new plugs.

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

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

The front and rear brakes are power assisted hydraulic disc type brakes. The engine must be running to activate the power assist. Press down on the brake pedal to engage the brakes.

Brake Fluid

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation.

WARNING

After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury.

Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.

2. View the brake fluid level 1 at the reservoir in the front driver’s side wheel well. The level should be between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) level lines.

   

3. If the fluid level is lower than the minimum (MIN) level line, remove the master cylinder cap and add brake fluid to the upper (MAX) line.

4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

Brake Inspection

WARNING

Do not apply WD-40®or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types of products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the brake pad and caliper.

WARNING

Brake components get hot with prolonged use and can cause burns. Wear protective gloves when inspecting the brakes.

The stiffness of the brake pedal will be different with the engine running and the engine off.

1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.

2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel.

3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness.

4. Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corrosion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.

5. Check for any leaks on the vacuum hose assembly to the brake booster and around the brake booster assembly.

6. Inspect the brake disc and pad wear surface 1 for excessive wear. Change pads when worn to 0.030" (0.762 mm), or the thickness of a credit card.

Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the intervals outlined in the POLARIS Maintenance Schedule 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, side to side play, strange noises, or the steering feels rough or “catchy”, have the steering system inspected by an authorized POLARIS dealer.

The front and rear shock positions can be adjusted to provide stiffer suspension and higher ride height.

1. Lift the vehicle so that no weight is on the suspension system.

2. Remove the lower shock mounting bolts.

3. Remove the top shock mounting bolt from the inside mounting position 1.

4. Reposition the shocks to the outside mounting hole 2.

5. Reinstall the shock mounting bolt. Torque to 120 ft-lbs (163 N·m).

Cam Adjustment

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

NOTICE

The vehicle must be raised to make this adjustment. Make sure there is not any vehicle weight on the shock when making adjustments. The adjustment tab must be in the valley of the cam adjuster or the cam adjuster may move from it’s intended adjustment position.

• 1 Softest adjustment setting

• 2 Stiffest adjustment setting

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

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

• Always apply the same adjustment setting to both the left and right side of the machine. The front and rear of the machine do not need to be equal.

• When plowing, set the front suspension to the stiffest setting. When carrying heavy loads in the cargo box, set the rear suspension to the stiffest setting.

NOTICE

After adjustment, ensure the tabs are aligned to one of the five detents in the cam adjuster. Tab alignment on one of the angled surfaces is incorrect and may canus damage to the shock or cam adjuster.

If the engine stops or will not start, or if you experience other electrical failures, a fuse may need replacement. Locate and correct any short circuits that may have caused the blown fuse, then replace the fuse. To access the fuse box, remove the access panel under the passenger seat. For CREW vehicles, the access panel is located under the rear passenger seat. Spare fuses are provided in the glove box.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

POLARIS is required to warrant that the Large Spark Ignition engine in this vehicle, including all parts of its emission-control system, are (1) designed, built, and equipped so they conform at the time of sale to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 1048 and (2) free from defects in materials and workmanship that may keep them from meeting the requirements of Part 1048. POLARIS must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine.

Where an emission-related warrantable condition exists, POLARIS will repair your off-road LSI engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor. 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.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE

In the 49-states other than California, the off-road LSI engine emission-related warranty for exhaust emission controls is valid for 3 years or 750 hours, whichever occurs first, except for High-Cost warranted parts. High-Cost warranted parts are warranted for 5 years or 1050 hours, whichever occurs first. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS.
The off-road LSI engine emission-related warranty for evaporative emission controls is valid for at least two years.
The warranty periods in California are provided in the separate California Emission Control Warranty Statement.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the off-road LSI engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required periodic maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. POLARIS recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your off-road LSI engine, but POLARIS cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of required periodic maintenance.

Non-critical emissions related maintenance includes items such as the scheduled spark plug changes and valve clearance adjustments recommended in the Maintenance Chart of this Owner’s Manual. Non-critical emissions related maintenance steps are not necessary to keep the emission-related warranty valid.

As the off-road LSI engine owner, you should however be aware that POLARIS may deny you warranty coverage under the federal regulations, if the failure was caused by the owner’s or operator’s improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which the manufacturer has no responsibility, or by acts of God. Your off-road LSI engine is designed to operate on gasoline. You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. Present your off-road LSI engine as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by a POLARIS dealer or third-party repair shop as expeditiously as possible.

The warranty period begins when the engine is placed into service. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions shall be warranted for the warranty period defined above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it shall be repaired or replaced by POLARIS. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty shall be warranted for the remaining warranty period. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions shall be warranted for the warranty period defined above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

The maintenance schedule contained in your Owner’s Manual may prescribe inspections of the exhaust and fuel systems at intervals within the 1500-hour useful life of the engine. If the inspections of these systems during the warranty period indicate the need to repair or replace components of the exhaust system (which includes the catalyst) or the fuel system (which includes the fuel injectors), these components shall be repaired or replaced by POLARIS free of charge to you.

Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by POLARIS. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.

POLARIS shall be liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any emission-related warranted part.

LSI EXHAUST & EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY PARTS

Your emission control system includes the parts listed below for exhaust and evaporative emissions. Emission-related components also include any other part whose primary purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure would commonly increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance.

The emission-related warranty covers these components even if a company other than POLARIS produces the component for POLARIS. The emission-related warranty does not cover components whose failure would not increase an engine's emissions of any regulated pollutant.

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, Aftertreatment Devices, Crankcase Ventilation Valves, Sensors, and Electronic Control Units.

For evaporative emissions, the following parts are considered emission-related components: Fuel Tank, Fuel Cap, Fuel Line, Fuel Line Fittings; Clamps*, Pressure Relief Valves*, Control Valves*, Control Solenoids*, Electronic Controls*, Vacuum Control Diaphragms*, Control Cables*, and Control Linkages* (*as related to the evaporative emission control system); Purge Valves, Vapor Hoses, Liquid/Vapor Separator, Carbon Canister, Canister Mounting Brackets, and Carburetor Purge Port Connector.

High-cost warranted parts are those parts covered by the emission-related warranty with a replacement cost exceeding a limit value established by the EPA regulations. The replacement cost includes the retail cost of the part plus labor and standard diagnosis. The high-cost limit value for Model Year 2024 engines is $740. This value is updated annually.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS. Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

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.

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), and they must also have a 50-state emission control label. The POLARIS 50-state vehicles are designed and built with features that distinguish them from 49-state vehicles, including the emissions label. 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 warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is:

(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code; and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the Polaris application for certification for a period of 3 years or 2,500 hours, whichever occurs first, and

(3) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a high-cost warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the Polaris application for certification, for a period of 5 years or 3,500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT: YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and POLARIS are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on the Model Year 2024 off-road large spark-ignition engine in your vehicle. In California, new off-road large spark-ignition (LSI) engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. POLARIS must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine. The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. 

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, regulator or fuel-injection system, ignition system, engine computer unit (ECM), catalytic converter and air induction system. Also included may be sensors, hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, POLARIS will repair your LSI engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE IN CALIFORNIA:

Your Model Year 2024 off-road large spark-ignition engine is warranted in California for 3 years or 2,500 hours, whichever occurs first (warranty period). High-Cost warranted parts are warranted for 5 years or 3500 hours, whichever occurs first. A High-Cost warranted part is an emissions-related part with a replacement cost, including the retail cost of the part plus labor and standard diagnosis, equal to or greater than a value prescribed annually by CARB. The limit value for Model Year 2024 engines is $740. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective within the applicable warranty period, the part will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES IN CALIFORNIA:

As the off-road LSI engine 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 off-road engine, but POLARIS cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the off-road large spark-ignition engine owner, you should however be aware that POLARIS may deny you warranty coverage if your off-road large spark-ignition engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. Your engine is designed to operate on gasoline. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with California's emissions requirements.

You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The CARB suggests that you present your off-road large spark-ignition engine to a POLARIS dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.

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). French: 1-800-268-6334.

CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTY INTERPRETATION

The California Emissions Warranty for this Large Spark Ignition Engine must be interpreted as prescribed in Section 2435(c), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations:

(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual, and (2) any part scheduled only for regular inspection and any part subject to an “inspect and replace as needed” specification in the Owner’s Manual is warranted for 3 years or 2,500 hours, whichever occurs first. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS at no charge to the owner at a warranty station. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS at no charge to the owner at a warranty station. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this article will be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.

(5) Warranty services or repairs will be provided at all Polaris dealers authorized to conduct service.

(6) The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.

(7) POLARIS is liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.

(8) Throughout the engine's warranty period described above, POLARIS will maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

(9) Any replacement part, as defined in Section 1900(b)(13), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations, may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. It is not necessary for replacement parts to be the same brand or by the same manufacturer as the original part sold with the engine. Such use does not reduce the POLARIS warranty obligations.

(10) Add-on or modified parts, as defined in Section 1900(b)(1) and (b)(10), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts will, at the discretion of POLARIS, be grounds for disallowing a warranty. POLARIS is not liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.

The following statement on non-critical emissions related maintenance is in addition to the above interpretations prescribed in Section 2435(c), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations. Non-critical emissions related maintenance steps are not necessary to keep the emission-related warranty valid. Non-critical emissions related maintenance includes items such as the scheduled spark plug changes and valve clearance adjustments recommended in the Maintenance Chart of this Owner’s Manual.
