SAFETY

SAFE RIDING GEAR

Always wear helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants, over-

the-ankle boots and seat belt (if equipped) at all times. Protective gear reduces

the chance of injury.

RIDER COMFORT

Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust

system can elevate temperatures in the rider cab area.

The condition occurs most frequently

when a vehicle is being operated in high

ambient temperatures at low speeds

and/or high load conditions for an

extended period of time. The use of

certain windshield, roof and/or cab

systems may contribute to this condition

by restricting airflow. Any discomfort

due to heat buildup in this area can be

minimized by wearing proper riding

apparel and by varying speeds to

increase airflow.

Follow these precautions when encountering slippery conditions:

1. Slow down before entering slippery areas.

2. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp

turns, which can cause skids.

3. Engage all-wheel drive before wheels begin to lose traction.

NOTICE

Severe damage to the drive train may occur if the AWD is engaged while the

wheels are spinning. Always allow the wheels to stop spinning before engaging

AWD.

4. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Never

apply the brakes during a skid.

OPERATION

DRIVING IN REVERSE

Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:

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

2. Apply the throttle lightly. Never open the throttle suddenly.

3. Back slowly.

4. Apply the brakes for stopping.lightly

5. Avoid making sharp turns.

PARKING ON AN INCLINE

A rolling vehicle can result in serious injury. Avoid parking on an incline. If

parking on an incline is , follow these precautions:unavoidable

OPERATION

1. Apply the brakes.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. Stop the engine.

4. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK

before exiting the vehicle.

5. Block the rear wheels on the downhill side.

HAULING CARGO

WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling

and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these

precautions when hauling cargo:

Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.

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, passengers, accessories and loads in the rack or box. The combined

weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.

Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible.

When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain

stable driving conditions.

Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling cargo. Slow down

and drive in the lowest gear available.

OPERATION

WARNING

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.

HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use

extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or

situations that may require backing downhill.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the

rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing a

rollover.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle

should never exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) while cornering or while ascending or

descending a hill.

Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or

contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo

box. A passenger must always be seated in a passenger seat with seat belt

secured.

Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry a specific capacity. Reduce

speed and allow a greater distance for braking when carrying cargo.

Loads should be centered and carried as low as possible in the box. For stability

on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo. Exercise caution if the

cargo load extends over the side of the box.

OPERATION

Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on warning

labels and in this manual. Never exceed the maximum capacities specified for

your vehicle. See the Load / Passenger / Tire Warning section for details.

BELT LIFE

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.

OPERATION

TOWING A RZR

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 16 km/h (10 MPH).

TOWING LOADS

WARNING

Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or

brake instability.

Always follow these precautions when towing:

1. Never load more than 68.1 kg (150 lbs.) tongue weight on the towing bracket.

2. When transporting heavy loads and/or when towing, always operate the

vehicle in low gear.

3. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when towing. See

the Hauling Cargo section. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.

4. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the

Specifications chapter for this vehicle’s maximum weight capacity.

5. 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.

6. Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.

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.

WARNING

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 section on page 81.Shock Loading

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.

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.

WINCH GUIDE

b. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation 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.

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.

WARNING

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 lifting 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.

WINCH GUIDE

4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

WARNING

Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.

• Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure

the load to the winch cable.

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 section on page 81.Shock Loading

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

cable and may result in winch cable failure.

WINCH GUIDE

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, or other

qualified dealer.

• If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the

winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce

the load on the fairlead.

• If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a tow

strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and

chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to

TreadLightly® (treadlightly.org).

• Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch

cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

• Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always replace

damaged parts before using the winch.

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 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.

WINCH GUIDE

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.

11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the

winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should

NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a

second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 81. For your

safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

a. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch

cable.

b. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s

centerline.

c. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s

frame following instructions in this manual.

d. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.

e. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.

f. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction

of winching.

g. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.

h. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the

vehicle.

i. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without

the help of the winch.

j. Detach the winch cable hook.

k. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the

instructions in this manual.

12.Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to

a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle

damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the

vehicle frame or hitch.

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH CABLE CARE

WARNING

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

INJURY.

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

genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS

dealer, or other qualified person.

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 kinked winch cable made of wire rope

is shown at right. Even after being

“straightened out,” this cable has

already been permanently and severely

damaged. Promptly discontinue use of

a winch cable in this condition.

A kinked winch cable made of wire rope

that has been “straightened out” is

shown at right. Even though it may look

usable, the cable has been permanently

and severely damaged. It can no longer

transmit the load that it could prior to

kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a

winch cable in this condition.

A winch cable made of synthetic rope

should be inspected for signs of fraying.

Replace the cable if fraying is observed

(shown below). Promptly discontinue

use of a winch cable in this condition.

Also replace the winch cable if there are

fused or melted fibers. Such an area of

the synthetic rope will be stiff and

appear smooth or glazed. Promptly

discontinue use of a winch cable in this

condition.

WINCH GUIDE

SHOCK LOADING

WARNING

Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or “shock”

loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and

cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high

loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope

and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up

slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to

move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable

loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving

vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

WARNING

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts

extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the

motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a

winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow

speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the

vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an

accident.

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to

stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is

released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous.

Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation

vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage

to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced

by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always

remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY

WARNING

Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE

INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this

manual.

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

cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections

to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable)

with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized

POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a

specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer

rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look

similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will

stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

WARNING

Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the

stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART

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, use genuine POLARIS parts

available from your POLARIS dealer.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log at the end of the

manual.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not

familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer

perform these operations.

Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns 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

• Frequent short trip operation in cold weather (engine frequently does not

operate long enough to reach full operating temperature)

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 or see your authorized dealer.
