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 (see RZR XP 1000). 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.

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.
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. 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 any 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 locally to drive on some public roads in specific parts of the country, your vehicle was not designed or certified as an on-road motor vehicle. Polaris does not support public road use except as may be necessary to cross roads designated for connecting off highway vehicle trail segments. If you must drive on-road, drive slowly and defensively. Your vehicle may lack the features needed to comply with state or local laws that permit limited public road use. Modifications you make to your vehicle to meet these requirements may void the vehicle warranty. 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 floor
level 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.
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 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.
The vehicle does not have a tow hitch and is not designed to
tow another vehicle for any distance.
Towing can
alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control.
There is a recovery tow loop at the front1 and back2 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, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Do not move a disabled RZR 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
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 jump-start using jumper cables that are made to connect one vehicle to another. The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during operation. A spark near the battery can ignite this gas and cause an explosion. To start a vehicle or charge a battery, use a portable battery-powered jump starter (such as POLARIS Flex Jump Starter) or plug-in battery charger, as these products can reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, and explosion. Improper starting or charging can damage vehicle electronics.
Be cautious of hot surfaces after the vehicle has been exposed to direct sunlight for a long period. Risks include discomfort and burning.
Towing this vehicle is not recommended. Always transport the vehicle on a trailer or flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. See the Transporting the Vehicle section for details.
If towing a disabled vehicle is unavoidable, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Tow the shortest distance possible. Do not operate faster than 10 mph (16 kph).
Always follow these precautions when towing:
Never load more than 150 lb (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
When transporting heavy loads and/or when towing, always operate the vehicle in low gear.
Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 kph) when towing. See the Hauling Cargo section. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the Specifications chapter for this vehicle’s maximum weight capacity.
Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle.
Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.

850 lb (386 kg) |
150 lb (68.1 kg) |
10 mph (16 kph) |
The tow loop 1 on the front of the vehicle is provided for recovery use ONLY. Tow a vehicle ONLY of equal or lesser size and weight.
For Ultimate models, use the winch connector 2 as a tow point. Please refer to the Winch User Guide included with your vehicle for more information about safe and proper operation of the winch.
When towing a disabled RZR vehicle, place the disabled vehicle's transmission in neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.
The weight distribution of the cargo loaded onto the trailer is important and will have an impact on how the vehicle handles on the road. Ensure the weight of the cargo is distributed properly and the trailer is not rear, front, or side heavy.
Improperly trailering or attempting to tow this vehicle can result in serious injury or death. Improper transportation can also cause vehicle damage, which may involve parts flying off and creating road hazards for other motorists.
Face the vehicle forward.
When using a non-enclosed
trailer, face the vehicle forward or remove the roof and windshield.
Always use a spotter if you are uncomfortable loading the vehicle on your own. A wheel chock or marker can also be used as an indication of how close you will park the vehicle from the front of the trailer.
Ensure everything in the vehicle is secure.
Walk around the vehicle and make sure:
Doors are latched
Front hood and storage compartments are locked
Rear seat backs are latched
Cargo is secured or removed
Vehicle is in PARK (P)
Use designated tie down points.
This vehicle
is equipped with four tie down points for transport. Route straps
so that they cannot contact any part of the vehicle and become worn
or loose during transport. Do not use winch to secure vehicle to trailer.
Towing this vehicle is not recommended.
Transport

Disclaimer: RIDE COMMAND+ features vary by region.
Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See the Refueling section for details. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling fuel.
Check the oil level. See the Oil Check section for details. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
Carry only light loads.
During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours, one month, or 500 miles, whichever comes first.
Refer to the Maintenance section for transmission and gearcase service intervals.
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.
It is recommended that a burnishing procedure be performed on new vehicles or after installation of new brake pads or rotors. This helps to conform the pads to the rotor surface and achieve optimum braking performance.
Test drive the machine and gradually accelerate to more than 20 mph (32 kph). Apply light to moderate pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle to roughly 5 mph (8 kph). Repeat this process 10–30 times, allowing 30 seconds between brake applications for the system to cool down.
Do not stop aggressively and do not slow
to a complete stop during the burnishing process.
After brake burnishing is complete, drive the vehicle to
cool the brake pads and rotors.
The burnishing process may cause there to be brake dust on the wheels and calipers. This is normal. When the system has cooled, use a rag and soapy water (no harsh chemicals) to clean off the dust.
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the engine compartment.
Drive at slower speeds for the first 50 miles (80 km) of operation. Carry only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.
Drive in low gear for the first 5 miles (8 km) of operation. Avoid prolonged low speed operation at high throttle. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.
To extend belt life, use low gear in the following conditions:
When hauling or towing heavy cargo
When consistently operating at speeds less than 35 MPH (56 km/h) in hard-pulling terrain, such as mud, rocks or sand/dune environments.
When ascending steep terrain
When driving up trailer ramps
Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well- ventilated area.
Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt. Always make sure all cab doors are closed and latched when riding in this vehicle.
Place the transmission in PARK.
Apply the brakes. Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the engine.
Turn the ignition key past the ON/RUN position and release immediately to START. The engine will turn over for a maximum five seconds until the vehicle has started.
If the engine does not start within five seconds, return the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the engine starts.
After starting the engine, wait 10 seconds before applying throttle.
Release the throttle pedal completely.
Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly.
Practice starting and stopping (using the brakes) until you're familiar with the controls.
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.
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.
Apply the throttle lightly. Never open the throttle suddenly.
Back slowly.
Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
Avoid making sharp turns.
To park the vehicle:
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Place the transmission in PARK (P). This vehicle can roll whenever the transmission is not in the PARK (P) position.
Stop the engine.
Engage the park brake (if equipped).
Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.
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 POLARIS vehicle has a spark arrestor that was tested and qualified to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1D Federal law requires that this spark arrestor 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 www.ecfr.gov..
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 left front frame of the vehicle.
This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.
This vehicle complies with EMC requirements of UN ECE Regulation 10 and European directives 97/24/EC and 2004/108/EC.
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 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.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in this owner’s manual.
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related service.
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.
Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and serviced more frequently.
Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
Racing or race-style high RPM use
Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
Extended idle
Frequent short trip operation in cold weather (engine frequently does not operate long enough to reach full operating temperature)
Prolonged high speed operation, such as road travel
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 POLARIS dealer or other authorized person can assist.
The intervals shown are based on vehicles operated under normal conditions.

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few combustion deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the proper type and heat range for the engine and the service.
The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the electrodes are not worn. Fouling may be caused by excessive oil or by frequent short trips, especially in cold weather.
If the engine stops or will not start, if the power steering stops working (if equipped), 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. When replacing a fuse, it is important to use the specified fuse size.
The fuse / relay center 1 is located behind the driver’s seat. It can be accessed by removing the seats and the rear engine access panel. See the Engine Access Panel and Seat Removal sections for details.

The engine coolant level is maintained by a remote pressurized tank system. The remote pressurized tank is connected to the radiator and provides a single pressure cap and fill point for the vehicle.
The pressure tank is designed to contain a volume of air above the coolant level. As coolant operating temperature increases the coolant level in the pressure tank will rise and push out air past the pressure cap. As the engine coolant temperature decreases the coolant level in the pressure tank will lower and draw air back into the tank through the pressure cap.
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.
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.
Always check and clean the screens and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiators by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiators or behind the cooling fan. Interference with radiator air flow can lead to overheating and consequent engine damage.
The changing coolant procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair. Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface before servicing.
If only needing to check coolant level, there is a view1 from driver’s side rear fender. A flashlight may be needed. The coolant level can also be viewed by removing the cargo box.
To add coolant, begin by removing the access cover2 in rear of vehicle behind the driver’s seat.
Slowly remove the radiator pressure cap3.
Remove the pressure cap and use a funnel to add coolant as needed. Maintain the coolant level at the cold fill mark on the side of the pressure tank (only when the fluid has cooled, if after operation).
Reinstall the pressure cap and the bottle access cover.
Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury or death.
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. As the owner, you have the following responsibilities for your own safety and the safety of others:
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 dealer or other qualified service person as recommended in the owner’s manual and on safety labels.
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.
Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the outlet duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
Wiggling and rocking the cover will help it move around the bolts on the clutch towers.
Make sure the clutch cover bolts are not catching on other parts.
Rotating the drive clutch slightly by hand can provide more clearance in some cases.
For easiest removal, make sure the vehicle is sitting on the ground at normal ride height or lower, which will provide more clearance between the cover and the shock absorber. Turning the drive clutch slightly by hand can also help provide more room for removal.
If reinstalling the belt, reference the print on the belt to reinstall in the same direction.
Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
Make sure the vehicle is in PARK and remove the key.

The single most important thing about
maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it fully charged. Check the
battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully charged battery
will register 12.8 V or higher. If the voltage falls below 12.5V,
charge it immediately, or the battery runs the risk of sulfation and
reduced battery life.
This vehicle is equipped with a vehicle battery charge port located
on the dash. This allows the operator to charge the vehicle battery
without needing to access the battery under the driver’s seat.
If you do not drive the vehicle for more
than TWO WEEKS, Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 2012
AGM - 2 AMP charger (PN 2830438), which can be ordered through your
dealer.
If you plan to store the vehicle
for ONE MONTH or longer, remove the battery from the vehicle, then
store the battery in a cool and dry location. Continue to maintain
the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP charger.
When using an automatic charger other than
a BatteryMINDer® 2012-AGM - 2 AMP charger, refer to the charger
manufacturer's instructions for recharging.
If you are using a constant current charger (instead of BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP charger), use the guidelines below. Always verify battery condition before and 1-2 hours after the end of charging.
State of Charge | Voltage (DC) | Action | Charge Time* |
100% | 12.8-13.0 volts | None, check monthly | None required |
75%-100% | 12.6-12.8 volts | May need slight charge, if no charge given, check in 2 weeks | 3-6 hours |
50%-75% | 12.3-12.6 volts | Needs charge | 5-11 hours |
25%-50% | 12.0-12.3 volts | Needs charge | At least 13 hours |

Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life of various components.
Water in the PVT system could cause the drive belt to become wet and slip in the clutches. Always avoid spraying water directly toward any intake pre-filters 1. If water does enter the PVT intake, follow the procedure on PVT Drying.
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
The best way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water.
Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last.
Rinse with clean water frequently.
Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can damage the finish.
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 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.
If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning, exercise extreme caution. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3000 PSI, 2.5 GPM with a 40° pressure washer nozzle. Make sure to keep the pressure washer nozzle 2 ft from the vehicle away from the surface being cleaned. The water may damage components and could remove paint and labels. High water pressure may damage radiator fins and impair a radiator’s effectiveness. High pressure may also damage other vehicle components. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:
Wheel bearings
Radiator
Transmission seals
Brakes
Cab and body panels
Labels and decals
Electrical components and wiring
Air intake components
Throttle and shift cables and controls

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.
Avoid the use of products containing a colorant dye. Test any products on an inconspicuous area of the vehicle before using throughout.
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See the Washing the Vehicle section for details.
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 Oil and Filter Change section for details.
Replace the air filter. See the Air Filter section for details. Clean the air box.
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section.

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 section.
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 plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug holes, use a section of clear 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 plugs. Torque to specification. See the Spark Plug Gap / Torque section for details.
Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Do not reinstall the caps onto the plugs 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.
If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
Reinstall the spark plug caps to the spark plugs.
See Battery section for storage and charging procedures.
Remove the fuse box cover during storage.
Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a genuine POLARIS cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
Charge the battery if necessary.
Make sure the spark plug is tight. Reinstall the fuse box cover if it was removed for storage.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection section. Tightness of the bolts, nuts and other fasteners should be checked by an authorized POLARIS dealer or other qualified service facility.

Driving onto a pickup or tall trailer in high range |
Use low range during loading. |
Starting out going up a steep incline |
Use low range. |
Driving at low RPM or ground speed – 3–7 mph (5 –12 kph) |
Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently. |
Insufficient warm-up at low ambient temperatures |
Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission in neutral, advance the throttle to about 1/8 throttle in short bursts, five to seven times. The belt will become more flexible and prevent belt burning. Always warm up the belt by operating below 30 mph (48 km/h) for 1 mile (1.6 km). When the temperature is below freezing, extend the belt warming time to 5 miles (8 km). |
Slow/easy clutch engagement |
Use the throttle quickly and effectively. |
Towing/pushing at low RPM/low ground speed |
Use low range only. |
Utility use/plowing |
Use low range only. |
Stuck in mud or snow |
Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast, aggressive throttle application to engage clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover. |
Climbing over large objects from a stopped position |
Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast, brief, aggressive throttle application to engage clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover. |

You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to an authorized POLARIS dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

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 miles (5000 km) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. The warranty period for ATVs less than 100cc emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 250 hours of engine operation, 1550 miles (2500 km) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. This EPA emissions warranty period is extended for at least as long as the standard factory warranty that Polaris provides on the vehicle as a whole. The EPA emissions warranty period does not further extend if you purchase additional warranty coverage in the form of a service contract or other paid warranty extension, but emission-related parts may be covered subject to the terms of any such paid service contract or paid warranty extension.
This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases the vehicle's regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.
For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:
Air-induction system
Fuel system
Ignition system
Exhaust gas recirculation systems
The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions:
After treatment devices
Crankcase ventilation valves
Sensors
Electronic control units
The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporative emissions:
Fuel Tank
Fuel Cap
Fuel Line
Fuel Line Fittings
Clamps*
Pressure Relief Valves*
Control Valves*
Control Solenoids*
Electronic Controls
Vacuum Control Diaphragms*
Control Cables*
Control Linkages*
Purge Valves
Vapor Hoses
Liquid/Vapor Separator
Carbon Canister
Canister Mounting Brackets
Carburetor Purge Port Connector
*As related to the evaporative emission control system.
Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance. The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.
This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover damage to any engine as a result of being structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle.
POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.
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.
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and POLARIS Industries Inc. is pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your model year 2018 and newer Off Highway Recreational Vehicle. In California, new off-highway recreational vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.

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.

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.
