When the switch is on 4X4, the ATV is four-wheel drive, and the 4X4 indicator icon in the instrument cluster display will be visible.
When in 4X4, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive unit will automatically disengage.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in 4X4. The vehicle automatically engages 4X4 when operating in reverse if the switch is set to either 4X4 position.
2X4 MODE
When the switch is on 2X4, the ATV is in two-wheel drive at all times.
ENGAGING 4X4
The 4X4 switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the vehicle's electronic system will not enable 4X4 until the engine RPM is below 3000. Once enabled, 4X4 remains enabled until the 4X4 switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the 4X4 switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to 4X4.
NOTICE
Switching to 4X4 or ADC 4X4 while the rear wheels are spinning may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to 4X4 or ADC 4X4 while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.

OPERATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING Failure to operate the vehicle 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.
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD
The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.
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.
Use of any improper oils may cause serious engine damage. POLARIS PS-4 Full Synthetic 5W-50 4-Cycle Oil is specifically formulated for your 4-cycle engine.
59
ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See the Fuel Tank section for details. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See the Oil Check section for reference. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.
5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or one month.
9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.
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 any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
60
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Failure to inspect and verify that the ATV is in safe operating condition before operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the ATV before each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.

62
13. Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust system.
14. Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent unauthorized use.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance between your vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area. Communicate to oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehicles in your group. When stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the trail as far as possible to allow others to pass safely.
KNOW YOUR RIDING AREA/TREAD LIGHTLY
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle. Find out where the designated riding areas are by contacting your POLARIS dealer, a local riding club, or local officials.
Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road enthusiast, you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor example) for others to follow. Tread lightly. Operate with respect for the terrain, avoid littering, and always stay on the designated trails.
63
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 brake is not engaged.
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 vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising oil level could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water or excess fuel in the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the crankcase can lead to engine damage and must be drained. Water accumulation increases as outside temperature decreases.
64
NEW OPERATOR DRIVING PROCEDURES
1. Wear protective riding gear. See the Safe Riding Gear section.
2. Perform the pre-ride inspection.
3. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Lock the parking brake.
5. Mount the vehicle from the left side.
6. Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the handlebars.
7. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
8. Shift the transmission into gear.
9. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
10. Release the parking brake.
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.
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 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.
65
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.
66
DRIVING UPHILL
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.
2. Drive straight uphill.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is 25° 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.
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.
67
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When driving downhill, follow these precautions: 1. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
2. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or descending a hill.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is 25° 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.
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.
68
DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING)
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a sidehill is
unavoidable
, follow these precautions: 1. Slow down.
2. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill.
3. Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight toward the hill while keeping your feet on the footrests.
4. If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or dismount on the uphill side
immediately
!
TURNING AROUND ON A HILL (K-TURN)
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the K- turn to turn around. 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 the Switch Location section for details.
3. Leave the transmission in forward and shut off the engine.
4. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill.
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. Start the engine with the transmission still in forward.
8. Release the parking brake and proceed
slowly
, controlling speed with the brake lever, until the vehicle is on more level ground.
69
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 Periodic Maintenance Chart. 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 in the Vehicle Immersion section of this manual, 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.
70
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.
71
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 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.
72
PARKING ON AN INCLINE
Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these precautions: 1. Stop the engine.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
WARNING A rolling vehicle can cause serious injury. Always place the transmission in PARK before stopping the engine. 73
PARKING THE VEHICLE
1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface. When parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure that the structure is well ventilated and that the vehicle is not close to any source of flame or sparks, including any appliance with pilot lights.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Engage the parking brake (if equipped).
5. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.
6. Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.
CARGO WARNING
WARNING 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 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.
74
WARNING 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.
HAULING CARGO
When hauling cargo, adhere to the following: 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. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
5. Slow down.
6. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.
7. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.
75
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.
MAXIMUM TOWING CAPACITIES
Do not exceed maximum towing capacities. Avoid towing on inclines. Maximum Towed Load (Level Ground) 1500 lbs. (680 kg) Maximum Vertical Hitch Weight 150 lbs. (68 kg) 76
WINCH GUIDE WINCH SAFETY
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
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.
77
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 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. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.
78
22. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch components.
23. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.
24. 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 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.
79
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.
80 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
• 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, 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.
81
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.
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 85. 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.
82
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.
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.
83
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.
84
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 loading.
85
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.

POWER STEERING UNIT (IF EQUIPPED)
If your model is equipped with power steering, frequently clean the areas around and on the power steering unit to allow proper cooling. Clean these areas e thoroughly.
STEERING ASSEMBLY
The steering assembly of the ATV should be checked periodically for loose nuts and bolts. If loose nuts and bolts are found, see your authorized dealer or other qualified service facility before operating the vehicle.
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 the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.
100
RECOVERY BOTTLE COOLANT
The recovery bottle fluid level can be viewed from inside the front right wheel well. Access the recovery bottle cap under the front box. 1. View the fluid level in the bottle.
2. If the level is low, remove the bottle cap and add coolant as needed. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).
3. Reinstall the cap.
4. Close and secure the front box and cover.
RADIATOR COOLANT
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.
Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair, replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. If the recovery bottle has run dry, check the level in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.
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. Access the pressure cap under the front box. See the Front Compartment section for details.
2. Remove the pressure cap.
3. Using a funnel, slowly add coolant through the radiator filler neck.
4. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. Your POLARIS dealer can provide the correct replacement part.
5. Close and secure the front box and cover.
101
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 the Master Cylinder/Brake Fluid section for details.
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 .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.

6. Reinstall the arrester.
7. Torque the bolt to 7–9 ft. lbs. (10–12 Nm).
111
PVT SYSTEM
WARNING 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 POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, for service and repair assistance.
• This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product.
• Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.
The basic operation of the POLARIS PVT system is dependent on engine speed and vehicle torque requirements. As engine speed increases, the force exerted on the movable drive sheave by the flyweights also increases. This, in turn, increases the amount of pinch applied to the drive belt. Similarly, if the engine speed decreases, the amount of centrifugal force decreases, reducing the amount of belt pinch.
On POLARIS ATVs, the approximate gear ratio difference between high and low range is 1:2.25. This difference in gearing affects the operation of the PVT, especially at speeds less than 7 MPH (11 km/h), due to the system's dependence on engine speed.
For example, when operating at a ground speed of 3 MPH (5 km/h) in low range, the engine speed would be around 3000 RPM. This is well above the engagement speed of 1600 - 1800 RPM. However, in high range at 3 MPH (5 km/h), the engine would be running at only 1500 RPM. Whenever operating this close to the engagement speed, the engine may be running at a speed too low to provide the pinch needed to prevent belt slip. Belt slip is responsible for creating the excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail.
112
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
CONDITION

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 5 seconds.
5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the transmission to low range.
6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process. Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible, which your authorized dealer can provide.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
STORAGE TIPS
NOTICE
Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.
CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See the Washing the Vehicle section.
STABILIZE THE FUEL
1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer or equivalent fuel treatments or stabilizers. Follow the instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings, valves and exhaust systems.
3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.
OIL AND FILTER
Change the oil and filter. See the Engine Oil section.
AIR FILTER / AIR BOX
Replace the air filter. See Maintenance Chapter. Clean the air box.
FLUID LEVELS
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
• Demand drive fluid (front gearcase) • Rear gearcase fluid (if equipped) • Transmission fluid • Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark or contaminated) • Coolant (test strength/fill) 124
INSPECT AND LUBRICATE
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
FOG THE ENGINE
1. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean or other equivalent fuel treatment. Follow the instructions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the spark plugs and add 1–1.5 oz. (29.5–44 cc.) of engine oil. To access the plug holes, use a section of clear 6 mm (1/4”) hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.
Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak.
3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap.
Do not reinstall the cap onto the plug at this step
.
5. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.
6. Reinstall the spark plug caps.
7. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
See the
Battery Storage and Battery Charging
sections for storage and charging procedures.
STORAGE AREA / COVERS

Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.
For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems: • Air-induction system • Fuel system • Ignition system • Exhaust gas recirculation systems The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions: • Aftertreatment devices • Crankcase ventilation valves • Sensors • Electronic control units 142
The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporative emissions: • Fuel Tank • Fuel Cap • Fuel Line • Fuel Line Fittings • Clamps* • Pressure Relief Valves* • Control Valves* • Control Solenoids* • Electronic Controls* • Vacuum Control Diaphragms* • Control Cables* • Control Linkages* • Purge Valves • Vapor Hoses • Liquid/Vapor Separator • Carbon Canister • Canister Mounting Brackets • Carburetor Purge Port Connector *As related to the evaporative emission control system.
Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance. The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.
This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
