from the footrests during operation can
reduce your ability to control the vehicle or
cause loss of balance and ejection from the
ATV. If the operator’s feet are not firmly
planted on the footrests, they could come into
contact with the rear wheels or other moving
parts and lead to accident or injury. Always
keep both hands on the handlebars and both
feet on the footrests of the ATV during
operation. A passenger should always be
seated in the passenger seat with both feet
on the footrests and both hands on the
passenger grab handles at all times. The
passenger should never hold on to the
operator.

Improper procedure could cause loss of
control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of
any hill unless absolutely necessary. Always
engage ADC mode (if equipped) before
ascending or descending a hill. If crossing a
hillside is unavoidable, always follow proper
procedures as described in the owner’s
manual. Never attempt to turn the ATV
around on any hill until you’ve mastered the
turning technique (on level ground) as
described in the owner’s manual.
STALLING WHILE CLIMBING A HILL
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could
cause a rollover.
Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a
hill.

pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator
may dismount.
Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the
owner's manual.
If the ATV begins rolling downhill:
Keep operator and passenger body weight uphill.
Never apply engine power.
Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the single-lever
brake gradually.
When fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking
brake.

increases the operator's risk of losing control.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Travel at
speeds appropriate for your skills, your
passenger's skills, and operating conditions.
IMPROPER TIRE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Operating this vehicle with improper tires or with improper or uneven tire
pressure could cause loss of control or accident. Always use the size and type
of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure as
described in the owner's manual and on safety labels.
22
SAFETY
OPERATING OVER OBSTACLES
Improperly operating over obstacles could
cause loss of control or rollover. Before
operating in a new area, check for obstacles.
Avoid operating over large obstacles such as
rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable, use
extreme caution and always follow proper
operating procedures as outlined in this
manual.
SKIDDING OR SLIDING
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control
or overturn (if tires regain traction
unexpectedly). On slippery surfaces such as
ice, travel slowly and use extra caution to
reduce the chance of skidding or sliding.
OPERATING A DAMAGED VEHICLE
CAUTION
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any rollover or
other accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for
possible damage, including (but not limited to) seat belts, rollover protection
devices, brakes, throttle, and steering systems.
23
SAFETY
OPERATING THROUGH DEEP WATER
Operating the ATV through deep or fast-
flowing water could cause the tires to float,
causing loss of control or overturn. Avoid
operating the ATV through deep or fast-
flowing water. If it's unavoidable to enter
water that exceeds the recommended
maximum depth:
Travel slowly.
Balance your weight carefully.
Avoid sudden movements.
Maintain a slow and steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns or
stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the
brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving. The friction will help dry
out the pads.
IMPROPER CARGO LOADING
Overloading the ATV or carrying/towing cargo
may cause changes in handling, which could
cause loss of control or an accident.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for
this ATV.
Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached.
Reduce speed when carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer. Allow a greater distance for
braking.
Always follow the instructions in the
owner's manual for carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer.
Always follow the instructions in the
owner's manual for operating with a
passenger.
24
SAFETY
OPERATING ON FROZEN BODIES OF WATER
Operating on frozen bodies of water may
result in serious injury or death if the ATV
and/or riders fall through the ice.
Never operate the ATV on a frozen body of
water unless you have independently verified
that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the
weight and moving force of the ATV, you and
your cargo, together with any other vehicles
in your party. Variances in snow depth and/or
water currents may result in uneven ice
thickness. Always check with local authorities
and residents to confirm ice conditions and
thickness over your entire route. ATV
operators assume all risk associated with ice
conditions on frozen bodies of water.
POOR VISIBILITY
Operating the ATV in darkness or inclement weather could result in a collision or
accident, especially if operating on a road or street. This ATV is not equipped
with highway-approved lights. Operate this vehicle off-road only. Use caution
and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog, rain
and darkness. Clean headlights frequently and replace burned out head lamps
promptly.
PHYSICAL SKILLS
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical
skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehicle
have an increased risk of overturn and loss of control.
HOT EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle.
Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system
components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust
system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass.
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE VEHICLE
Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by
someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper
training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition
key when the vehicle is not in use.

THROTTLE LEVER
WARNING
Operating an ATV with sticking or improperly operating throttle controls could
cause an accident. Never start or operate an ATV that has a sticking or
improperly operating throttle. Immediately contact your POLARIS dealer or
other qualified person for service if throttle problems arise.
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result
in an accident if the throttle lever sticks during operation. Always check the
lever for free movement and return before starting the engine. Also check
occasionally during operation.
Modifications to the electronic throttle control could result in failure to perform
as designed, which could result in an accident. Do not attempt to modify the
throttle control system or replace it with any after market throttle mechanisms.
Engine speed and vehicle movement
are controlled by pressing the throttle
lever q. The throttle lever is spring
loaded. Engine speed returns to idle
when the lever is released. This ATV is
equipped with a throttle release switch,
which is designed to reduce the risk of a

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
BRAKE LEVER
WARNING
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
q
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
POLARIS dealer or other qualified
service facility for proper diagnosis and
repairs.
47
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE FLUID
WARNING
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 fluid in the master cylinder before each ride.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Position the handlebars so the
master cylinder q
is level.
3. View the brake fluid level through
the indicator window w
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, remove the
cover screws and add fluid to the fill
line. Do not overfill. Use DOT 4
brake fluid only.
5. Reinstall the cover. Torque screws to
7 in-lbs (.8 Nm).

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.
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.
79
OPERATION
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.

84
OPERATION
DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER
1. Never carry more than one passenger on a 2-up vehicle.
2. Do not carry a passenger on a 2-up vehicle until you have at least two hours
of driving experience with the vehicle.
3. Never allow anyone under 12 years of age to ride as a passenger on a 2-up
vehicle. Make sure any passenger is tall enough to comfortably and safely
reach the grab handles and footrests. Allow a passenger to ride only in the
approved passenger seat.
4. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear, including an
approved helmet with a rigid chin guard. See the Rider Comfort section for
details.
5. Perform the pre-ride inspection. See the Pre-Ride Checklist section for
details.
6. Lock the parking brake.
7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the
passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make sure the
brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless whenever a
passenger mounts or dismounts.
8. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on board. Allow
more time and distance for braking.
9. Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability. Avoid
unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a passenger to fall
from the vehicle.
10. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board.
85
OPERATION
11. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both feet
on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times.
The passenger should never hold on to the operator. Never secure a
passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.
12. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of “active riding.
When hill-climbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger should shift body
weight in the same manner in which the driver shifts body weight. For
example, the passenger should lean to the inside of a turn along with the
operator and should always lean uphill when climbing and descending hills.
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.
1. Slow down.
2. Never turn quickly when carrying a passenger or 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 rollover. Never turn abruptly or at sharp
angles. Never turn at high speeds.
86
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.
87
OPERATION
DRIVING UPHILL
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a hill.
2. Drive straight uphill.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 1
4. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
5. Keep both feet on the footrests.
6. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight uphill.
7. Proceed at a steady rate of speed to avoid stalling.
8. Be alert. Be prepared to take emergency action. This may include
dismounting quickly.
9. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes.
10. Never go over the top of a hill at high speed.
If all forward speed is lost:
1. Keep your weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill.
2. If the vehicle begins rolling downhill, never apply engine power. Never apply
the brakes aggressively while rolling backwards.
3. Apply the brakes gradually. When fully stopped, lock the hydraulic parking
brake.
88
OPERATION
4. Dismount on the uphill side, or on the left side if the vehicle is pointed straight
uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator may dismount.
5. Use the K-turn to turn around. Details of this procedure can be found in the
Turning Around on a Hill section.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When driving downhill, follow these
precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 Switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a
hill. See the All Wheel Drive System section for details.
2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 15°
3. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend
a hill with the transmission in neutral.
5. Never drive downhill at high speed. Slow down.
6. Drive straight downhill. Avoid driving downhill at an angle, which can cause
the vehicle to pitch sharply to one side.
7. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also 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.
89
OPERATION
DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING)
Avoid crossing the side of a hill (sidehilling), if possible. If sidehilling is
unavoidable, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Shift body weight uphill.
3. Keep your feet on the footrests.
4. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
5. Avoid crossing the sides of steep hills.
6. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. Ask the passenger to
dismount and walk across the hillside before remounting the vehicle.
7. If the vehicle begins to slide or tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if
possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!
90
OPERATION
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 the vehicle. Keep your weight uphill.
2. Always move the 4X4 switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a hill.

OPERATION
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth
equal to the bottom of the footrests
q. 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. 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 in the PVT Drying section, 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 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.
92
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 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.
93
OPERATION
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.
94
OPERATION
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.
95
OPERATION
HAULING CARGO
WARNING
Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter
vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always
follow these precautions when hauling cargo.
Read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the vehicle
warning labels.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. When determining
the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator,
passenger, 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.
REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN HAULING CARGO OR TOWING. Use extreme caution when
applying brakes. Avoid situations that require backing downhill.
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION on models with front and rear racks should be 1/3
on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. 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.
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.
Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY unless your vehicle is approved for
on-road operation.
TOWING SPEED should never exceed 16 km/h. Never exceed 8 km/h when
towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or
descending hills.
96
OPERATION
1. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for your vehicle on warning
labels and in the Specifications section of this manual.
2. On models with front and rear racks, cargo weight should be evenly
distributed ( 2/3 q on the rear and 1/3 w on the front) and mounted as low
as possible.
3. All Models:
NEVER exceed 80 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 34 kg and/or front
cargo loads are above 17 kg.
4. 2–Up Models:
2-Up Models: NEVER exceed 80 km/h while carrying a passenger.
5. X2 Models:
NEVER exceed 16 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 91 kg. Make sure
the cargo box dump latch is securely latched before loading and operating.
Unintentional dumping will result if weight is placed in the rear of the box and
the latch is not secured.
6. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo weight to
maintain stable driving conditions.
7. Do not obstruct the headlight beam with cargo.
8. Use low forward gear when hauling or towing heavy cargo to extend belt life.
9. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing
loads. Balance, handling, and control may be affected.

Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY unless your vehicle is approved for on-
road operation.
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, passenger, 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 10 cm (4”) q. Never install automotive
accessories on your POLARIS ATV. Always install POLARIS-approved (or
equivalent) accessories designed for ATV use.
DUMPING CARGO (X2)
WARNING
If cargo weight is placed toward the rear of the cargo box, the load may dump
unexpectedly and cause serious injury. When loading cargo, always position
the weight as far forward and as low as possible.
1. Select a level site to dump the cargo box. Do not attempt to dump or unload
the vehicle while parked on an incline.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Dismount the vehicle.
5. Lower the tailgate.

OPERATION
6. Pull one of the two cargo box release levers q upward.
7. Firmly grasp one of the cargo box handles w and slowly lift the front of the
cargo box to dump the cargo.
WARNING
To prevent a crushing injury to hands and fingers, keep hands and fingers
away from the lower front edge of the cargo box while lowering the box.
8. Lower the cargo box and make sure the release latch is secured.
9. Secure the tailgate.
WARNING
Driving with the cargo box in the raised position can cause serious injury and
damage to the vehicle. The cargo box could close unexpectedly and injure the
driver. The rear tires will also catch the rear of the bed, damaging the vehicle
and creating hazardous driving conditions. Never drive this vehicle with the
cargo box in the raised position. Never leave this vehicle parked or unattended
with the cargo box in the raised position.

WINCH GUIDE
WINCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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 109.
7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear
of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.
8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not
being used.
9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped
around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped
cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.
10. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the
vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.
11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the
vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle
to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever possible.
12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
a. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack” or
accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one
end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.
101
WINCH GUIDE
b. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to
feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.
13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching
vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.
14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated
capacity.
15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more
than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and
permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.
16. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.
17. Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy
gloves.
18. Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.
19. Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.
20. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.
21. Never immerse or submerse your winch in water. Your dealer can provide
service on your winch if this occurs.
22. Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.
23. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch
components.
24. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to
prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.
25. Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable to collect
debris that will shorten the life of the cable.
102
WINCH GUIDE
WINCH OPERATION
Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using your
winch.
TIP
Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually
need to use it in the field.
WARNING
Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow
all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.
Each winching situation is unique.
Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do.
Proceed slowly and deliberately.
Never hurry or rush during winching.
Always pay attention to your surroundings.
You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working.
Always remember that your winch is very powerful.
There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to
deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.
1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any
signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use.
Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter) of winch cable if the winch
is being used (or has been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly.
Promptly replace any worn or damaged cable.
2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.
3. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/ or park mechanism to hold the
vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.
103
WINCH GUIDE
4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.
WARNING
Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.
Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure
the load to the winch cable.
TIP
A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to
stretch.
104
WINCH GUIDE
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 109.
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.
105
WINCH GUIDE
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 109. 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.
106
WINCH GUIDE
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.
107
WINCH GUIDE
WINCH CABLE CARE
WARNING
Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE
INJURY.
For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with
genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS
dealer, or other qualified person.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts
including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or
replacement.
2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked
winch cable.
A kinked winch cable made of wire rope
is shown at right. Even after being
“straightened out,” this cable has
already been permanently and severely
damaged. Promptly discontinue use of
a winch cable in this condition.
A kinked winch cable made of wire rope
that has been “straightened out” is
shown at right. Even though it may look
usable, the cable has been permanently
and severely damaged. It can no longer
transmit the load that it could prior to
kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a
winch cable in this condition.
A winch cable made of synthetic rope
should be inspected for signs of fraying.
Replace the cable if fraying is observed
(shown below). Promptly discontinue
use of a winch cable in this condition.
Also replace the winch cable if there are
fused or melted fibers. Such an area of
the synthetic rope will be stiff and
appear smooth or glazed. Promptly
discontinue use of a winch cable in this
condition.
108
WINCH GUIDE
SHOCK LOADING
WARNING
Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or “shock”
loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and
cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high
loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.
Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope
and synthetic-rope winch cables.
1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up
slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to
move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable
loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving
vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.
WARNING
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.
2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts
extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the
motor. This is a form of shock loading.
3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a
winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow
speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the
vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an
accident.
4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to
stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is
released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous.
Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords for winching.
5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation
vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage
to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.
Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced
by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always
remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock
loading.
109
WINCH GUIDE
WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY
WARNING
Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE
INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this
manual.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch
cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.
2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.
3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections
to prevent accidental activation of the winch.
4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable)
with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized
POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.
5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a
specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.
6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer
rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look
similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will
stretch and store excessive energy when winching.
WARNING
Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the
stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
