Operator Safety SAFETY Know Your Vehicle As the operator of the ATV, you are responsible for your safety, the safety of others, and the protection of our environment. Read and understand your owner's manual, which includes valuable information about all aspects of your ATV, including safe operating procedures. Safety Training When you purchased your new Polaris ATV, your dealer offered a hands-on safety training course covering all aspects of vehicle safety. You were also provided with printed materials that explain safe operating procedures, which you should review on a regular basis. If your model is recommended for use by experienced operators only, you also received a safety video. Be sure to view it before operating the ATV. If you purchased a used Polaris ATV from a party other than a Polaris dealer, you can request this free safety training from any authorized Polaris dealer. A Polaris ATV is an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this vehicle in your area. Follow the recommended maintenance program outlined in your owner's manual. This program is designed to ensure that all critical components on the ATV are thoroughly inspected at specific intervals. 15
