SAFETY

Safety Warnings

Operating on Frozen Bodies of

Water

Operating on frozen bodies of water may

result in serious injury or death if the ATV

and/or riders fall through the ice.

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. Variances in

snow depth and/or water currents may result

in uneven ice thickness. Always check with

local authorities and residents to confirm ice

conditions and thickness over your entire

route. ATV operators assume all risk

associated with ice conditions on frozen

bodies of water.

Poor Visibility

Operating the ATV in darkness or inclement weather could result in a collision or

accident, especially if operating on a road or street. This ATV 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.

Physical Skills

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical

skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehicle

have an increased risk of overturn and loss of control. Never secure a

passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.

Hot Exhaust Systems

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.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Throttle Lever

Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle controls could

cause an accident. Never start or operate an ATV that has a sticking or

improperly operating throttle. Immediately contact your POLARIS dealer or

other qualified person for service if throttle problems arise.

Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in

an accident if the throttle lever sticks during operation. Always check the lever

for free movement and return before starting the engine. Also check

occasionally during operation.

Modifications to the electronic throttle control could result in failure to perform as

designed, which could result in an accident. Do not attempt to modify the throttle

control system or replace it with any after market throttle mechanisms. Always

ensure that the throttle cable is installed and properly routed to the throttle

control.

Engine speed and vehicle movement are controlled by pressing the

throttle lever. The throttle lever is spring loaded. Engine speed returns to

idle when the lever is released.

This ATV is equipped with a

throttle release switch, which is

designed to reduce the risk of a

frozen or stuck throttle.

If the throttle cable should stick

in an open position when the

operator releases the throttle

lever, engine speed will be

limited to idle speed.

WARNING

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brake Lever

Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking, which

could cause an accident. Never operate the ATV with a spongy-feeling brake

lever. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the vehicle.

Squeeze the brake lever 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.

WARNING

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Master Cylinder/Brake Fluid

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.

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.

Check the brake fluid in the master

cylinder before each ride.

1. Position the ATV on a level

surface.

2. Position the handlebars so the

master cylinder is level.

3. View the brake fluid level

through the indicator window

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.

4. 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.

5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to 7 in-lbs (.8 Nm).

WARNING! Operating the ATV while the parking brake is engaged could result

in an accident or fire. Always check to be sure the parking brake is disengaged

before operating.

The parking brake 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 parking

brake alone if the ATV is parked on a hill. Always block the wheels to

prevent rolling.

Fuel Tank

Always refuel with the engine stopped,

and outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

Refuel on a level surface.

Remove the fuel tank cap and add fuel.

Use either leaded or unleaded gasoline

with a minimum pump octane number of

87=(R+ M/2) octane. Do not use fuel

with ethanol content greater than 10%,

such as E-85 fuel.

The fuel tank is designed to allow for the

normal expansion of fuel. Do not

overfill. Do not fill the tank neck.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Auxiliary Foot Brake

Never back down a hill. Applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill

may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.

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.

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.

Brake Fluid Level

Check the brake fluid level

frequently for the auxiliary brake

system. The reservoir is located

under the front storage box. See

page 39.

Maintain the fluid level between

the maximum and minimum marks.

Use DOT 4 brake fluid only.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to

familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 58.

6. Pull only light loads.

7. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25

hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

8. Change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours.

PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)

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, always clean away all debris when replacing the belt.

4. Sit on the vehicle and move the engine stop switch to RUN.

Tip: Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.

5. 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.

6. 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.

NOTICE: Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine

damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before

operating the vehicle.

Cold Weather Operation

If the ATV 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.

If a belt fails, always clean away all debris when replacing the belt.

OPERATION

Driving Procedures

1. Wear protective riding gear. See page 10.

11. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.

12. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and

brakes on level surfaces.

OPERATION

Turning the Vehicle

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.

1. Slow down.

2. Never turn quickly when

carrying a passenger or

cargo.

3. Steer in the direction of

the turn.

4. Keep both feet on the

footrests.

5. 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.

6. Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at

faster speeds.

WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle overturn. Never turn

abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.

OPERATION

Driving with a Passenger

1. Never carry a passenger on a 1-up ATV. Never carry more than one

passenger on a 2-up ATV.

2. Do not carry a passenger on a 2-up ATV until you have at least two

hours of driving experience with the vehicle.

3. Never allow anyone under 12 years of age to ride as a passenger on

a 2-up ATV. Make sure any passenger is tall enough to comfortably

and safely reach the grab handles and footrests.

4. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear,

including an approved helmet with a rigid chin guard. See page 10.

5. Perform the pre-ride inspection. See page 58.

6. Lock the parking brake.

7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the

passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make

sure the brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless

whenever a passenger mounts or dismounts.

8. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both

feet on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles

at all times. The passenger should never hold on to the operator.

Never secure a passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a

belt, rope or similar device.

9. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on

board. Allow more time and distance for braking.

10. Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability.

Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a

passenger to fall from the vehicle.

OPERATION

Driving with a Passenger

11. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. See page 68.

12. Make sure the passenger

understands the importance

of "active riding." When hill-

climbing or performing

maneuvers, a passenger

should shift body weight in

the same manner in which the

driver shifts body weight. For

example, the passenger

should lean to the inside of a

turn along with the operator

and should always lean uphill

when climbing and

descending hills.

OPERATION

Driving on Slippery Surfaces

Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel,

or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:

1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.

2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.

3. Engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose traction.

NOTICE: Severe damage to drive train may occur if the 4X4 is engaged while

the wheels are spinning. Allow the rear wheels to stop spinning

before engaging 4X4, or engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose

traction.

4. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding

quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.

5. 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:

1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or

descending a hill. See page 43.

2. Drive straight uphill.

3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum

incline is:

• 15° (2-Up Models)

• 25° (1-Up Models)

4. Always check the terrain

carefully before ascending

any hill.

5. Never climb hills with

excessively slippery or loose

surfaces.

6. Keep both feet on the

footrests.

7. Shift body weight uphill. A

passenger should also shift

body weight uphill.

8. Proceed at a steady rate of

speed and throttle opening.

Opening the throttle suddenly

could cause the ATV to flip

over backwards.

9. 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.

10. Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may

include quick dismounting of the vehicle.

4. Always descend a hill with

the transmission in forward

gear. Do not descend a hill

with the transmission in

neutral.

5. Slow down. Never travel

down a hill at high speed.

6. Drive straight downhill.

Avoid traveling down a hill

at an angle, which would

cause the vehicle to lean

sharply to one side.

7. Shift body weight uphill. A

passenger should also shift

body weight uphill.

8. 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.

Turning Around on a Hill (K-Turn)

1. Stop and lock the parking brake while keeping body weight uphill.

2. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or

descending a hill. See page 43.

3. Leave the transmission in forward and shut off the engine.

4. If a passenger is on board, ask the passenger to dismount first, then

the operator may dismount. Dismount on the uphill side of the

vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill. A

passenger should not remount until the vehicle returns to firm, level

ground.

5. Staying uphill of the vehicle, turn the handlebars full left.

6. While holding the brake lever, release the parking brake lock and

slowly allow the vehicle to roll around to your right until it's

pointing across the hill or slightly downward.

7. Lock the parking brake. Remount the vehicle from the uphill side,

keeping body weight uphill. A passenger should not remount until

the vehicle returns to firm, level ground.

8. Start the engine with the transmission still in forward.

9. Release the parking brake and proceed slowly, controlling speed

with the brake lever, until the vehicle is on more level ground.

OPERATION

Driving Through Water

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:

1. Determine water

depths and current

before entering water.

2. Choose a crossing

where both banks have

gradual inclines.

3. Avoid operating

through deep or fast-flowing water.

NOTICE: Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly

inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in

the maintenance chart. See page 92. The following areas need

special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, demand drive fluid and

all grease fittings .

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 on page 122, and take the vehicle in for service at the first

opportunity.

4. 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.

Maximum Depth

OPERATION

Driving Over Obstacles

Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:

1. Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.

2. Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for

hazards such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.

3. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar

terrain. Not all obstacles are immediately visible.

4. Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as rocks or

fallen trees.

5. Always have a passenger dismount before operating over an

obstacle that could cause a fall from the vehicle or vehicle tipover.

OPERATION

Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:

1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. Be aware

that a passenger can obstruct your view.

2. Always avoid backing downhill.

3. Back slowly.

4. Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.

5. Avoid turning at sharp angles.

6. Never open the throttle suddenly.

7. 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.

NOTICE: Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may cause

fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine

damage.

OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

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:

Never carry cargo on the rear rack when operating the ATV in the 2-up mode

with a passenger.

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, 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.

WARNING

OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

1. Never exceed the weight

capacities specified for your

ATV on warning labels and in

the specifications section of

this manual.

2. Cargo weight should be

evenly distributed (1/3 on the

front rack and 2/3 on the rear

rack) and mounted as low as

possible.

3. When operating over rough or

hilly terrain, reduce speed and

cargo weight to maintain

stable driving conditions.

4. 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).

NEVER exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) when rear cargo loads are above

200 lbs. (91 kg) and/or front cargo loads are above 100 lbs. (45 kg).

5. 2-Up Models:

NEVER exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) while carrying a passenger.

6. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.

7. Slow down.

8. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to

extend belt life.

9. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling

or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.

Towing Loads

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, passenger, accessories, cargo and weight on

hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

NOTICE: Using an improper hitch or exceeding

the maximum tongue weight capacity

can result in serious damage to the

vehicle and will void your ATV

warranty. Never install a hitch longer

than 4" (10 cm). Never install

automotive accessories on your

POLARIS ATV. Always install

POLARIS-approved (or equivalent)

accessories designed for ATV use.

WINCH GUIDE

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.

Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all

winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

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.

Winch Safety Precautions

1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the

winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch

cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving

vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 88.

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable and

load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while

operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch

are not being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are

wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided

by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable

and move the load.

10. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to

hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if

needed.

WARNING

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Safety Precautions

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of

the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch

cable at an angle to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever

possible.

12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

A. 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.

B. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 on page 86 to feed

and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the

winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s

rated capacity.

15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch

for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation,

stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes

before using it again.

16. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the

winch cable while winching a load.

17. Never let the winch cable run through

your hands, even if wearing heavy

gloves.

18. Never release the clutch on the winch

when the winch cable is under load.

19. Never use the winch for lifting or

transporting people.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Safety Precautions

20. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

21. Never immerse or submerse your winch in water. Your dealer can

provide service on your winch if this occurs.

22. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.

23. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage

to winch components.

24. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in

use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized

persons.

25. Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable

to collect debris that will shorten the life of the cable.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using

your winch.

Tip: 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.

1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls

for any signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement

before each use. Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter)

of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has been used) for lift-

ing an accessory plow assembly. Promptly replace any worn or

damaged cable.

2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.

3. Always apply your vehicle’s

park brake and/or park

mechanism to hold the vehicle

in place during winching. Use

wheel chocks if needed.

WARNING

Hook Strap

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

4. Always use the hook strap when

handling the hook.

WARNING! Never put your fingers into

the hook. This could lead to SEVERE

INJURY.

A. Attach the hook itself onto the

load or use a tow strap or chain

to secure the load to the winch

cable.

Tip: A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to

stretch.

WARNING! Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive

energy that can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 88.

B. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the

winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

WARNING! Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always

replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS

replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer.

C. 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.

D. 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 TreadLightly® (treadlightly.org).

E. Before operating the winch, be sure

that the safety latch on the winch

cable hook is fully seated when the

load is attached.

F. Never operate your winch with a

damaged hook or latch. Always

replace damaged parts before using

the winch.

NO YES

YES

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

7. 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.

8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to

ensure safe winch use.

A. 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

a 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.

B. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is

spooled out.

C. 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.

D. 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.

9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the

winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

10. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or

worn.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

A. Release the clutch on the winch.

B. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.

C. Re-engage the winch clutch.

D. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45

kg) of tension using the hook strap.

E. 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.

F. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself

between lower layers of winch cable.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Cable Care

For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the

cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your

authorized POLARIS dealer.

WARNING! Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and

SEVERE INJURY.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or

loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if

any part needs repair or replacement.

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn

or kinked winch cable.

A. 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.

B. 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.

C. A winch cable made of

synthetic rope should be

inspected for signs of fraying.

Replace the cable if fraying is

observed (shown at right).

Promptly discontinue use of a

winch cable in this condition.

D. 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.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

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 safe,

reliable condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as

necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts,

genuine POLARIS parts are available from your POLARIS dealer.

Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related service.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on

page 160.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If

you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a

qualified dealer can perform these operations.

Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average

riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10

miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and

serviced more frequently.

Severe Use Definition

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

• Extended idle

• Short trip cold weather operation

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 can assist.
