SAFETY Operator Safety S Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them lightly several times to allow friction to dry out the pads. S Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle before operating in reverse. When it's safe to proceed in reverse, move slowly and avoid turning at sharp angles. S Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle, and always maintain proper tire pressure. S Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories. S Never exceed the stated load capacity for your vehicle. Cargo must be properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow the instructions in this manual for hauling cargo or towing. Allow a greater distance for braking. S Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent unauthorized use or accidental starting.

Additional Important Information We are concerned for the safety of our customers and for the general public. Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers do not install on a Polaris Sportsman 6x6 any equipment that may increase the speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment of the vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injury. The warranty on your Polaris Sportsman 6x6 is terminated if any equipment has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to the vehicle, that increase its speed or power. We also advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance program outlined in this manual. This preventive maintenance program is designed to ensure that all critical components on the vehicle are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at various mileage intervals. NOTE: The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Use only Polaris-approved accessories, and familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle. 11
