Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle and/or the operator fall through the ice. 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.
Always check with local authorities and residents to confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire route. Vehicle operators assume all risk associated with ice conditions on frozen bodies of water.
Operating this vehicle in darkness or inclement weather could result in a collision or accident, especially if operating on a road or street. This vehicle is not equipped with highway-approved lights. Operate this vehicle off-road only. 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.
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgment and physical skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehicle have an increased risk of overturn and loss of control.
Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle. Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust system.
Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass and when traveling through muddy conditions. Always inspect the underside of the vehicle and areas near the exhaust system after driving through tall grass, weeds, brush, other tall ground cover, and muddy conditions. Promptly remove any grass, debris or foreign matter clinging to the vehicle and pay particular attention to the exhaust system area.
If using a hitch, ensure the receiver does not exceed a two inch drop or raise.
When trailering with your ATV, be aware that the exhaust is located above the hitch ball receiver and the trailer hitch. During operation of the ATV, the exhaust will produce hot exhaust gas that should not be inhaled and that may elevate the surface temperature of surrounding surfaces, including trailer surfaces (e.g., trailer hitch, trailer tongue, trailer walls, . . . etc.). To reduce the risk of inhaling exhaust gases and to avoid risk of burn or injury, shut off your engine and allow time for the exhaust gases to dissipate and for the surfaces surrounding the exhaust to cool, including the trailer surfaces, before connecting or disconnecting a trailer. To reduce the potential for the trailer hitch or trailer tongue from getting too hot, do not use a receiver hitch with a rise of more than two inches.
Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use.
Your POLARIS vehicle is designed to provide safe operation when used as directed. Modifications to your vehicle may negatively impact vehicle stability. Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. This vehicle may become less stable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds.
Do not install any non-POLARIS-approved accessory or modify the vehicle for the purpose of increasing speed or power. Any modifications or installation of non-POLARIS-approved accessories could create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injury.
The POLARIS limited warranty on your POLARIS vehicle will be terminated if any non-POLARIS approved equipment and/or modifications have been added to the vehicle that increase speed or power.
The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Use only POLARIS-approved accessories, and familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle.

The 4x4 or AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the vehicle's electronic system will not enable AWD until the engine RPM is below 2800. Once enabled, AWD remains enabled until the 4x4 or AWD switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the 4x4 or AWD switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to AWD.
The ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the vehicle descends a hill or incline. Always move the 4x4 or AWD switch to ADC before ascending or descending a hill.
The ADC system will automatically engage when all four of the following conditions occur:
The 4x4 or AWD switch must be in the ADC position
Vehicle speed must be 15 mph (25 kph) or less
The throttle must be closed (throttle lever released)
The transmission must be in gear (high, low or reverse)
The ADC system will automatically disengage if at least one of the following conditions occur:
The 4x4 or AWD switch is moved out of the ADC position
Vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph (25 kph)
The throttle is open (throttle is applied)
The transmission is shifted to neutral or park
Squeeze the brake lever 1 toward the handlebar to apply the front and rear brakes. These brakes are hydraulically activated disc type brakes that are activated by only one lever. Always test brake lever travel and master cylinder fluid level before riding. When squeezed, the lever should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your POLARIS dealer or other qualified service facility for proper diagnosis and repairs.
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
Check the brake fluid in the master cylinder before each ride.
Position the ATV on a level surface.
Position the handlebars so the master cylinder 1 is level.
View the brake fluid level through the indicator window 2 on the top of the master cylinder. The eye will appear dark when the fluid level is full. When fluid is low, the eye will be clear.
If the fluid level is low, remove the cover screws and add fluid to the fill line. Do not overfill. Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.
Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to 7 in-lbs (1 N·m).
Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. 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 brake failure, which could result in an accident. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
To engage the temporary brake lock, do the following:
Place the transmission in PARK.
Squeeze and release the brake lever 1 two or three times, then squeeze and hold.
Push the temporary brake lock 2 forward to engage the lock.
Release the brake lever.
To release the temporary brake lock, squeeze and release the brake lever. It will return to its unlocked position.
The temporary brake lock may relax if left on for a long period of time. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling. Always block the wheels on the downhill side of the ATV if leaving it parked on a hill. Another option is to park the ATV in a sidehill position. Never depend on the temporary brake lock alone if the ATV is parked on a hill.
Use caution when applying the auxiliary brake. Do not aggressively apply the auxiliary brake when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control and serious injury or death.
The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for
the main brake system. Should the main system fail, use the auxiliary
foot brake 1.
The auxiliary foot brake is
located on the inside of the right footrest. Operate this brake with
your right foot. If the rear wheels slide while using the auxiliary
brake, reduce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear wheels
without skidding.
Check the brake fluid level frequently
for the auxiliary brake system. The reservoir is located under the
seat, near the airbox.
Maintain the
fluid level between the maximum and minimum marks. Use DOT 4 brake
fluid only.
The transmission gear selector 1 is located on the right side of the vehicle.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
To shift gears, brake to a complete stop. When the
engine is idling, move the lever to the desired gear.
Whenever the ATV is left unattended, always place the transmission in PARK and lock the temporary brake lock.
To extend belt life, use low forward gear when pulling a heavy load at less than seven miles per hour for extended periods and when operating uphill at a slow speed.
To convert the back cargo rack to a passenger backrest, do the following:
Make sure the cargo box dump latch is securely latched.
Slide the seat latch levers inward to release the locks.
Tilt the backrest slightly forward.
Pull the passenger backrest upward from the bed of the cargo box.
Lift the adjustment latch at the top of the passenger backrest. Raise the backrest to the desired position. Release the latch, making sure it locks into one of the three operating positions.
Lower the operator backrest to create the passenger seat. Two retaining pins under the seat should fit into the two grommets on the seat base.
Test the passenger seat lockout by attempting to release the cargo box dump latch. If the dump latch releases, the seat is not secure. Repeat the set-up procedure. If the lock-out is not working properly, do not allow a passenger to ride the vehicle. See your POLARIS dealer for service.
To return the vehicle to single-rider operation, reverse all steps. Always lower the passenger backrest to the lowest position before folding it down into the cargo box. Slide the seat latch levers outward to secure the locks.
Your vehicle is equipped with one of three available gauge variants, (1) a standard gauge (no Bluetooth® functionality), (2) a Bluetooth®-equipped gauge, and (3) a no-button gauge.

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery charge port 1. The battery charge port allows you to quickly and easily connect a battery charger to your vehicle’s battery. For more information, see Battery Charging.
Complete the recommended safety training before operating this vehicle. Visit www.atvsafety.org for safety courses and riding tips. See Safety Training for details.
Do not allow anyone under 16 years of age to operate this vehicle. Do not allow anyone with cognitive or physical disabilities to operate this vehicle.
Never carry a passenger on a 1-up ATV. Never carry more than one passenger on a 2-up ATV.
Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
Before operating, learn how to use the auxiliary brake for emergency situations (if service brakes become inoperable).
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.
Drive in a manner appropriate for your skills, your passenger’s skills (if you are operating a 2-up ATV), and operating conditions. Never operate at excessive speeds. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Never remove your hands from the handlebars while operating, and always keep both feet on the footrests.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating an ATV.
Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure.
Never operate a damaged ATV. After any overturn or accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for possible damage.
Never operate the ATV on a frozen body of water unless you have independently verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight and moving force of the ATV, you and your cargo, together with any other vehicles in your party.
Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust system.
Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent unauthorized use.
Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance between your vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area. Communicate to oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehicles in your group. When stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the trail as far as possible to allow others to pass safely.
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle. Find out where the designated riding areas are by contacting your POLARIS dealer, a local riding club, or local officials.
Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road enthusiast, you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor example) for others to follow. Tread LightlySM. Operate with respect for the terrain, avoid littering, and always stay on the designated trails.
The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.
Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three hours of use.
Use of any improper oils may cause serious engine damage. POLARIS PS-4 Full Synthetic 5W-50 4-Cycle Oil is specifically formulated for your 4-cycle engine.
Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
Check the oil level. See the Oil Level Check section for reference. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
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 engine oil and filter at 25 hours or one month (whichever comes first).
During the break-in period, change the front gearcase fluid at 25 hours or 250 miles (400 km) (whichever comes first).
During the break-in period, check the transmission fluid level at 25 hours or 250 miles (400 km) (whichever comes first).
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.
Perform the following steps on a new vehicle or anytime brake pads are replaced on the vehicle:
In an appropriate riding area, safely slow the vehicle with moderate (70%) braking from 30 mph (50 kph) down to 5 mph (8 kph). Do not stop completely in order to keep air flowing through the brakes.
Repeat for 10-20 cycles and let the brakes cool between each cycle by riding your vehicle approximately 0.25 mi (400 m).
After you have completed all 20 cycles, ride the ATV for awhile to cool the braking system to avoid overheating the brakes.
Stop the vehicle and put the transmission in PARK. DO NOT apply the temporary brake lock until the brake system has fully cooled.
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.
Failure to inspect and verify that the ATV is in safe operating condition before operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the ATV before each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.

Perform the pre-ride inspection.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Lock the brake holding latch.
Mount the vehicle from the left side.
Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the handlebars.
Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
Shift the transmission into gear.
Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
Release the brake holding latch.
Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.
Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces.
Both rear wheels drive equally at all times. This means that the outside wheel must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning, and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.
Slow down.
Never turn quickly when carrying cargo.
Steer in the direction of the turn.
Keep both feet on the footrests.
Lean your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse.
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
Slow down when entering slippery areas.
Engage AWD before wheels begin to lose traction.
Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.
Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly terrain. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
Always engage ADC before ascending or descending a hill.
Drive straight uphill.
Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 15°
Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
Keep both feet on the footrests.
Shift body weight uphill.
Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Opening the throttle suddenly could cause the ATV to flip over backwards.
Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may include quick dismounting of the vehicle.
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
Always engage ADC mode before ascending or descending a hill.
Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is 15°
Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.
Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.
Drive straight downhill. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side.
Shift body weight uphill.
Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing. Applying the brakes too firmly may cause the rear wheels to lock, which could result in loss of control.
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
Slow down.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill.
Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight toward the hill while keeping your feet on the footrests.
If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the K-turn to turn around.
Stop and lock the temporary brake lock while keeping body weight uphill.
Always engage AWD or ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a hill.
Leave the transmission in forward and shut off the engine.
Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill.
Staying uphill of the vehicle, turn the handlebars full left.
While holding the brake lever, release the temporary brake lock and slowly allow the vehicle to roll around to your right until it's pointing across the hill or slightly downward.
Lock the temporary brake lock. Remount the vehicle from the uphill side, keeping body weight uphill. Start the engine with the transmission still in forward.
Release the temporary brake lock and proceed slowly, controlling speed with the brake lever, until the vehicle is on more level ground.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after operating in water, service is required before starting the engine. Your POLARIS dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Vehicle Immersion section of this manual, and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to the bottom of the footrests.
Follow these procedures when operating through water:
Determine water depths and current before entering water.
Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.
If it’s unavoidable to enter water deeper than the footrest level:
Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements.
Maintain a steady rate of speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops. Do not make sudden throttle changes.
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.
Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees.
If you are operating a 2-up ATV, always have the passenger dismount before you operate over an obstacle that could cause a fall from the vehicle or vehicle tipover.
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.
Always avoid backing downhill.
Back slowly.
Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
Avoid turning at sharp angles.
Never open the throttle suddenly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional wheel speed is required for vehicle movement. Use the override with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Operate the throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed.
Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well- ventilated area.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Lock the temporary brake lock.
Sit on the vehicle and move the engine stop switch to RUN.
Turn the ignition key past the ON position to engage the starter. Activate the starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the key when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, return the key to the OFF position and wait five seconds before attempting to start again. Activate the starter for another five seconds if necessary. Repeat this procedure until the engine starts.
If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising oil level could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water or excess fuel in the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the crankcase can lead to engine damage and must be drained. Water accumulation increases as outside temperature decreases.

Alternatively, the logo shown below on the retailer’s fuel pump will confirm that TOP TIER DETERGENT GASOLINE® is being dispensed.
If TOP TIER DETERGENT GASOLINE® is not available, adding POLARIS Carbon Clean to the fuel tank at every oil change will help reduce carbon deposits.
Seasonal Blends
POLARIS recommends using gasoline that is purchased during the season the vehicle is being used, especially summer vs. winter. Between seasons, refineries typically change the gasoline blend to avoid temperature induced engine performance issues. Winter blend gasoline improves engine starting in cold weather and summer blend gasoline helps prevent vapor lock issues in hot weather.
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.
Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.
Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these precautions:
Stop the engine.
Lock the temporary brake lock.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side.
Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing 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:
REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING 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, passenger (if you are operating a 2-up ATV), 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.
CARGO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION should be 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving conditions. Carrying loads on only one rack increases the possibility of vehicle overturn.
CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable operating condition.
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 the vehicle to overturn.
DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when carrying loads on the front rack.
DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS.
The vehicle should never exceed 10 mph (16 kph) while towing a load on a level 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.
When hauling cargo, adhere to the following:
Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your ATV on warning labels and in the specifications section of this manual.
Models With Racks: Cargo weight should be evenly distributed with 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack and mounted as low as possible.
All Models: NEVER exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above 75 lbs. (34 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 37 lbs. (17 kg).
2-Up Models: NEVER exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) while carrying a passenger.
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to maintain stable driving conditions.
Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo.
Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.
Always attach a towed load to the hitch point. Remove the hitch from the ATV when not towing a trailer. If towing a load, reduce rear rack cargo weight by the amount of tongue weight.
The combination of rear rack cargo weight and tongue weight must not exceed the rear rack capacity.
The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
Do not exceed maximum towing capacities. Avoid towing on inclines.

Select a level site to dump the cargo box. Do not attempt to dump or unload the vehicle while parked on an incline.
Place the transmission in PARK. Lock the temporary brake lock.
Dismount the vehicle.
Lower the tailgate.
Pull the cargo box release lever 1 upward.
Lift the front of the cargo box and dump the cargo.
Lower the cargo box and make sure the release latch is secured.
Secure the tailgate.
If towing your vehicle is necessary, shift the transmission into neutral for better mobility and to prevent damage to the belt. Always attach the tow cable to the front tow loop of the disabled vehicle. A rider must be on board to steer the disabled vehicle while towing.
Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Secure the fuel cap, oil cap, and seat.
Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.
Use suitable straps or rope to secure the vehicle to the front tow hook 1 and rear tow bracket 2. Do not attach tie straps to the front A-arm bolt pockets, racks, or handlebars.
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.
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 right front frame of the vehicle.
This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.
This vehicle complies with the EMC requirements of UN ECE Regulation 10.

Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine seizure, accident and injury. Always perform the maintenance procedures as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. 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.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS PS-4 Full Synthetic 5W-50 4-cycle oil or a similar oil for this engine. Oil may need to be changed more frequently if POLARIS oil is not used. Always use 5W-50 oil. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient temperature operation.
See the Lubrication Guide section for fluid recommendations and capacities.
Check the oil level when the engine is cold. Never check the oil with the engine running.
To check the oil level, do the following:
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
Access the oil dipstick and fill tube from the right side of the ATV 1. Remove the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
Add the recommended lubricant as needed. Maintain the oil level in the safe range between the FULL and ADD marks. Do NOT overfill.
Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
See the Lubrication Guide section for fluid recommendations and capacities. Always change the oil and oil filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Always change the oil filter whenever changing oil.
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
Put the transmission in PARK (P) and lock the temporary brake lock.
Start the engine. Allow it to warm up at idle for two to three minutes.
Stop the engine.
Clean the area around the drain plug 1.
Place a drain pan under the crankcase.
Remove the drain plug 1 and washer. Allow the oil to drain completely.
Install a new sealing washer on the drain plug. The sealing surfaces on drain plug and crankcase should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
Reinstall the drain plug. Torque to specification.

If your model is equipped with power steering, frequently clean the areas around and on the power steering unit to allow proper cooling. Clean these areas thoroughly.
The steering assembly of the ATV should be checked periodically for loose nuts and bolts. If loose nuts and bolts are found, see your authorized dealer or other qualified service facility before operating the vehicle.
The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, 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. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery 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. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.
The recovery bottle fluid level can be accessed from the front left wheel well.
View the fluid level in the bottle.
If the level is low, remove the bottle cap and add coolant as needed. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).
Reinstall the cap.
Close and secure the front box and cover.
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, check the level in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.
Access the pressure cap under the front box. See the Front Compartment section for details.
Remove the pressure cap.
Using a funnel, slowly add coolant through the radiator filler neck.
Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the correct replacement part.
Close and secure the front box and cover.
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by moving the single brake lever toward the handlebar. These brakes are self- adjusting.
Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or removed. Do not overfill.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal operation.
Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level. See the Master Cylinder/Brake Fluid section for details.
Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel.
Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. Replace brake pads when they are worn to .030” (0.762 mm).
Check the security and surface condition of the disc. Clean any grease using a recommended brake cleaner or alcohol. Do not use spray lubricants or other petroleum-based products. If you discover any damage (cracks, excessive corrosion, warping) see your dealer for service before operating.
The hydraulic auxiliary brake system requires no adjustment. Check the brake fluid level frequently for the auxiliary brake system.

Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch components. Extensive engineering and testing has been conducted to ensure the safety of this product. However, as the owner, you have the following responsibilities to make sure this system remains safe:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when replacing the belt.
See your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, for service and repair assistance.
This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product.
Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.
The basic operation of the POLARIS PVT system is dependent on engine speed and vehicle torque requirements. As engine speed increases, the force exerted on the movable drive sheave by the flyweights also increases. This, in turn, increases the amount of pinch applied to the drive belt. Similarly, if the engine speed decreases, the amount of centrifugal force decreases, reducing the amount of belt pinch.
On POLARIS ATVs, the approximate gear ratio difference between high and low range is 1:2.25. This difference in gearing affects the operation of the PVT, especially at speeds less than 7 MPH (11 km/h), due to the system's dependence on engine speed.
For example, when operating at a ground speed of 3 MPH (5 km/h) in low range, the engine speed would be around 3000 RPM. This is well above the engagement speed of 1600 - 1800 RPM. However, in high range at 3 MPH (5 km/h), the engine would be running at only 1500 RPM. Whenever operating this close to the engagement speed, the engine may be running at a speed too low to provide the pinch needed to prevent belt slip. Belt slip is responsible for creating the excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail.
The air temperature in the clutch cover is substantially reduced by using low range while operating at low ground speeds. Reducing the temperature inside the clutch cover greatly extends the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.
Do not use high-speed polishers/buffers on body panels, as damage or color fading may occur.
If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning, exercise extreme caution. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3000 psi (20684.27 kPa), 2.5 GPM (567.81 LPH) with a 40° pressure washer nozzle. Make sure to keep the pressure washer nozzle 2 ft (60 cm) from the vehicle and away from the surface being cleaned. High water pressure could remove paint and labels and damage radiator fins and/or impair a radiator’s effectiveness. High water pressure with a hot temperature could also damage brake lines with the nozzle at a close proximity even with a short exposure time. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:
Wheel bearings
Radiator
Transmission seals
Brakes / brake lines
Body panels
Labels and decals
Electrical components and wiring
Air intake components
Throttle and shift cables and controls
Seats
If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your POLARIS dealer for free replacement.
Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system.
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. See the Washing the Vehicle section.
Fill the fuel tank.
Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer or equivalent fuel treatments or stabilizers. Follow the instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings, valves and exhaust systems.
Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.
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.
Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean or other equivalent fuel treatment. Follow the instructions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.
Remove the spark plug and add 1–1.5 oz. (29.5–44 cc.) of engine oil. To access the plug hole, use a section of clear 6 mm (1/4”) hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak.
Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.
Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap. Do not reinstall the cap onto the plug at this step.
Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.
Reinstall the spark plug cap.
If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
See the Battery Storage and Battery Charging sections for storage and charging procedures.
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.

This emissions limited warranty is in addition to the POLARIS standard limited warranty for your vehicle. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-certified vehicle is designed, built and equipped so it conforms with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission regulations. POLARIS warrants that the vehicle is free from defects in materials and workmanship that would cause it to fail to meet these regulations.
The warranty period for off road vehicles 100cc or greater emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 500 hours of engine operation, 3100 mi (5000 km) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first.

This EPA emissions warranty period is extended for at least as long as the standard factory warranty that POLARIS provides on the vehicle as a whole. The EPA emissions warranty period does not further extend if you purchase additional warranty coverage in the form of a service contract or other paid warranty extension, but emission-related parts may be covered subject to the terms of any such paid service contract or paid warranty extension.
This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases the vehicle's regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.
For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:
Air-induction system
Fuel system
Ignition system
Exhaust gas recirculation systems
The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions:

The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.
This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover damage to any engine as a result of being structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle.
POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.
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 it 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 materials 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.

ORV / OHRV
POLARIS must honor the CARB-approved California emission warranty included in the Owner’s Manual.
POLARIS is liable for damages to other vehicle components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any California emissions-warranted part.
Any add-on or modified part exempted by the California Air Resources Board from the prohibitions of California Vehicle Code section 27156 may be used on a vehicle, engine, or trailer. Such use, in and of itself, shall not be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with California emission warranty requirements. POLARIS shall not be liable under CARB emissions warranty requirements to warranty failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on modified part.
These requirements are based on the following provisions of the California Code of Regulations, which apply as written.
13 CCR §2419.1(d) Subject to the conditions and exclusions of subdivision (i), the warranty on emissions-related parts must function as follows.
— (7) The OHRV manufacturer is liable for damages to other vehicle components proximately caused by a failure, under warranty, of any warranted part.
— (10) Any add-on or modified part exempted by the Air Resources Board from the prohibitions of section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code may be used on an OHRV. Such use, in and of itself, will not be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made under the provisions of this Article. The OHRV manufacturer is not liable under the provisions of this Article to warranty failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part(s) unless such part(s) are also warranted.
ADD-ON OR MODIFIED PARTS
An add-on or modified part must be compliant with applicable CARB emission control standards. A violation of this requirement is punishable by civil and/or criminal punishment.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact POLARIS Owner Connections at 1-800-POLARIS (1-800-765-2747) or the California Air Resources Board at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91731.

HOW THE CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTY ON EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS PARTS MUST FUNCTION AS PRESCRIBED IN 13 CCR §2419.1
(1) Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as part of maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the warranty period. If any such part fails during the warranty period, it must be repaired or replaced by POLARIS according to subdivision (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be fully warranted.
(2) Any warranted part which is scheduled only for regular inspection in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the warranty period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” must not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as part of maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement point, the part must be repaired or replaced by POLARIS according to subdivision (4). 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 must be performed at no charge to the OHRV owner, at a warranty station, except in the case of a temporary repair when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available to the OHRV owner. In the event a temporary repair is permitted according to subdivision (8) below, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. POLARIS must reimburse the owner for his or her expenses including diagnostic charges for such temporary repair or replacement, not to exceed POLARIS' suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on the POLARIS recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (4) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided at all POLARIS dealerships that are owned by POLARIS or franchised to service the subject OHRVs.
(6) The OHRV owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor which 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 vehicle components proximately caused by a failure, under warranty, of any warranted part.
(8) Throughout the OHRV's evaporative emissions warranty period, POLARIS must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts. The lack of availability of such parts or the incompleteness of repairs within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 30 days from the time the OHRV is initially presented to the warranty station for repair, will qualify the need for a temporary repair for purposes of subdivision (4).
(9) Any replacement part designated by POLARIS may be used in warranty repairs provided without charge to the OHRV owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of POLARIS, except that POLARIS will not be liable under the provisions of this Article for repair or replacement of any replacement part which is not a warranted part (except as provided under subdivision (d)(7)).
(10) Any add-on or modified part exempted by the Air Resources Board from the prohibitions of section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code may be used on an OHRV. Such use, in and of itself, will not be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made under the provisions of this Article. POLARIS is not liable under the provisions of this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part(s) unless such part(s) are also warranted.
(11) Upon a request of the Executive Officer, POLARIS must provide any documents that describe the manufacturer's warranty procedures or policies.
(12) Any replacement part must not reduce the effectiveness of the OHRV emission control system. POLARIS must demonstrate that the applicable emission standards are being met when the replacement part(s) are installed on the OHRV. The demonstration of equivalence to applicable emission standards can be achieved through replacing the part(s) with the evaporative emissions control components the OHRV evaporative family was certified with; or, if unavailable, alternative parts may be installed if POLARIS can provide test data to verify the evaporative control system meets, at least, the OHRV EFEL.
EXCLUSION
Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions (1) - (12) above, the repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for the California Warranty on Evaporative Emission Parts, is excluded from such warranty coverage if POLARIS can provide evidence to the California Air Resources Board Executive Officer, to the Executive Officer's satisfaction, that the OHRV has been abused, neglected, improperly maintained, or had unapproved modifications and that such abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modification, was the direct cause of the need for the repair or replacement of the part.
