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 dealer for proper
diagnosis and repairs.
WARNING
30
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 uid 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 uid 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 add DOT 4 brake fluid only. Do not overfill.
WARNING

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Parking Brake
Locking the Parking Brake
1. Place the transmission in
PARK.
2. Squeeze and release the brake
lever two or three times, then
squeeze and hold.
3. Push the parking brake lock
forward to engage the lock.
4. Release the brake lever.
5. To release the parking brake lock, squeeze and release the brake
lever. It will return to its unlocked position.
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.
32
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. Since this is a rear brake only, it will not be as effective as the all
wheel single lever system.
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 seat on the left side of
the vehicle. Maintain the fluid
level between the maximum and
minimum marks.

key is turned to the ON position. EPS remains engaged whether the
vehicle is moving or idle. See page 39 for EPS Warning Indicator
information.
Fuel Tank Cap
This vehicle is equipped with a digital
fuel gauge that will indicate a low fuel
condition. Refuel when the gauge
indicates a low fuel condition.
Always refuel with the engine stopped,
and outdoors or in a well ventilated
area. Refuel on a level surface.
Remove the fuel tank cap to add fuel to
the fuel tank. 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 percent, such
as E-85 fuel.
Extreme Use Battery
An optional extreme use battery may be available for your model. If the
performance of the factory-installed battery is inadequate due to
operation in extreme cold or due to extended use of multiple electrical
accessories, please see your POLARIS dealer. Ask your dealer to
provide any installation procedures that may differ for an extreme use
battery.

OPERATION
Failure to operate the ATV properly can result in a collision, loss of control,
accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and
understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s
manual.
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new POLARIS ATV is the first 20 hours of
operation. No single action on your part is as important as following the
procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine and
drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer
life for these components.
NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will
damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not
operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three hours of
use.
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See page 33. Always exercise
extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level on the dipstick. See page 88. Add oil if
necessary to maintain the level between the safe and add marks.
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 54.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours.
8. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25
hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
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.

OPERATION
Starting the Engine
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well-
ventilated area.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lock the parking brake.
Tip: The starter interlock will prevent the engine from starting if the transmission
is in gear and the brake is not engaged.
4. Sit on the vehicle and move the engine stop switch to RUN.
5. Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.
6. 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.
7. 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.
56
OPERATION
Driving Procedures
1. Wear a helmet and eye protection. See page 8.
2. Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the
handlebars.
3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
4. Shift the transmission into gear.
5. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
6. Release the parking brake.
7. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.
8. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and
brakes on level surfaces.
57
OPERATION
Turning the Vehicle
Your ATV is equipped with a
solid rear axle, which drives
both rear wheels equally at all
times. This means that the
wheel on the outside of the
turn must travel a greater
distance than the inside wheel
when turning and the inside
tire must slip traction slightly.
To turn, steer in the direction
of the turn, leaning 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.
Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds.
WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle rollover. Never turn
abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
58
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.

ascending or descending a hill. See page 37.
2. Drive straight uphill.
3. Avoid steep hills (25° maximum).
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 your 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.

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 82. The following areas need
special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, demand drive fluid, rear
gearcase oil, and all grease fittings.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or
after operating in water, restarting can result in serious engine
damage. Transport the vehicle to your dealer for service before
restarting the engine. If this is not possible, follow the vehicle
immersion inspection and drying procedures outlined on page 114,
then see your dealer 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 its unavoidable to enter water deeper than the footrest level:
Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements.
Maintain a steady rate of speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops.
Do not make sudden throttle changes.

Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:
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.
65
OPERATION
Driving in Reverse
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.
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 button 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.
66
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:
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, 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 rollover.
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 vehicle
rollover.
DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAM when carrying loads on the
front rack.
DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS.
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).
Vehicle should never exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h) while towing a load on a level
surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 MPH (8 km/h) when towing loads
in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.
WARNING
67
OPERATION
Hauling Cargo
Never exceed the weight capacities
specified for your ATV on warning
labels and in the specifications
section of this manual.
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.
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).
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo
weight to maintain stable driving conditions.
Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend
belt life.
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, 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 78.
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
70
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 76 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.
71
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. Take your winch
to your dealer for service 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.
72
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 vehicles
park brake and/or park
mechanism to hold the vehicle
in place during winching. Use
wheel chocks if needed.
WARNING
Hook Strap
73
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 78.
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.

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.
75
WINCH GUIDE
Winch Operation
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 78. 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.
76
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

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.

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 gener-
ates 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.
79
WINCH GUIDE
Shock Loading
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 loading.
80
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.
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.

MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Chart
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in safe, reli-
able condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as nec-
essary. 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 beginning on page
147.
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.
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 or see your dealer.

MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery
system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the
radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into
the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is
purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as
recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.
This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with
water. See page 138 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
Recovery Bottle Coolant
The recovery bottle is located
on the left side of the vehicle.
1. Remove the left side panel.
See page 99.
2. Maintain the coolant level
between the minimum and
maximum marks on the
bottle (when the fluid is
cool).
3. Add coolant as needed.

Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,
replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.
If the recovery bottle has run dry, check the level in the radiator. Add
coolant as needed.
CAUTION! Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap
while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before
removing the pressure cap.
1. Open the front box cover.
2. Remove the access panel

MAINTENANCE
Brakes
Hand Brake
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by moving
the single brake lever toward the handlebar. These brakes are self-
adjusting.
Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as
fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not
extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To
ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed
whenever the cover is loosened or removed. Do not overfill.
WARNING! An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-
up, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the
recommended level. Do not overfill.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in
good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily
under normal operation.
1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate
level. See page 30.
2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or
spongy feel.
4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage
and looseness. Replace brake pads when
they are worn to 0.030” (0.762 mm).
5. Check the security and surface condition
of the disc. Clean any grease using a
recommended brake cleaner or alcohol. Do not use spray lubricants
or other petroleum-based products. If you discover any damage
(cracks, excessive corrosion, warping) see your dealer for service
before operating.

Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Inspection
Normal Spark Plug
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 tip should not be flaky and white. A white insulator tip indicates
overheating, caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect fuel.
Wet Fouled Spark Plug
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. General causes of fouling are excessive oil, use
of non-recommended oil or incorrect throttle body adjustments.

PVT System
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. Extensive engineering and testing has been conducted to
ensure the safety of this product. However, as the owner, you have the following
responsibilities to make sure this system remains safe:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for
and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when
replacing the belt.
See your dealer as outlined in the owner's manual.
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.
WARNING
117
MAINTENANCE
PVT System
The basic operation of the POLARIS PVT system is dependent on
engine speed and vehicle torque requirements. As engine speed
increases, the force exerted on the movable drive sheave by the
flyweights also increases. This, in turn, increases the amount of pinch
applied to the drive belt. Similarly, if the engine speed decreases, the
amount of centrifugal force decreases, reducing the amount of belt
pinch.
On POLARIS ATVs, the approximate gear ratio difference between
high and low range is 1:2.25. This difference in gearing affects the
operation of the PVT, especially at speeds less than 7 MPH (11 km/h),
due to the system's dependence on engine speed.
For example, when operating at a ground speed of 3 MPH (5 km/h) in
low range, the engine speed would be around 3000 RPM. This is well
above the engagement speed of 1200 - 1400 RPM. However, in high
range at 3 MPH (5 km/h), the engine would be running at only 1500
RPM. Whenever operating this close to the engagement speed, the
engine may be running at a speed too low to provide the pinch needed to
prevent belt slip. Belt slip is responsible for creating the excessive heat
that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch
covers to fail.
The air temperature in the clutch cover is substantially reduced by using
low range while operating at low ground speeds. Reducing the
temperature inside the clutch cover greatly extends the life of the PVT
components (belt, cover, etc.).

When to Use Low Range and High Range
PVT Drying
There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the
PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before
operating.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely.
Reinstall the drain plug.
3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and
air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for
more than 10 seconds.
5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the
transmission to the lowest available range.
6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
7. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.

MAINTENANCE
Battery
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion
and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always
disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always
connect the negative (black) cable last.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can
result from contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away.
Ventilate when charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes
when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Your ATV may have either a sealed battery, which requires little
maintenance, or a conventional battery. A sealed battery can be
identified by its flat covers on the top of the battery. A conventional
battery has six filler caps on the top of the battery.
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If
cleaning is necessary, remove corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash
with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse
well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the
terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. Be careful not to
allow cleaning solution or tap water into a conventional battery.
