Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding this
POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof helmet face
shield. POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept
clean.
Gloves
Wear gloves for comfort and for protection from sun, cold weather and other elements.
Boots
Wear sturdy over-the-ankle boots for support and protection. Never ride a POLARIS vehicle
with bare feet or sandals.
Clothing
Wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.
Rider Comfort
Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can
elevate temperatures in the driver and passenger cab area. The condition occurs most
frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/
or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof
and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort
due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by
varying speeds to increase airflow.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Instrument Cluster
Rider Information Center
The rider information center is
located in the instrument cluster. All
segments will light up for one
second at start-up. If the instrument
cluster fails to illuminate, a battery
over-voltage may have occurred
and the instrument cluster may have
shut off to protect the electronic
speedometer. If this occurs, your
POLARIS dealer can provide
proper diagnosis.
The information center is set to
display standard units of
measurement and a 12-hour clock at
the factory. To change to metric
and/or a 24-hour clock, see page 31.
1. Gear Indicator - This indicator displays gear shifter position.
H = High Gear
L = Low Gear
N = Neutral
R = Reverse Gear
-- = Gear Signal Error (or shifter between gears)
2. Fuel Gauge - The segments of the fuel gauge show the level of fuel in the fuel tank.
When the last segment clears, a low fuel warning is activated. All segments including
the fuel icon will flash. Refuel immediately.

OPERATION
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.
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new RANGER is the first twenty hours of operation, or the time
it takes to use the first two tanks full of fuel. No single action on your part is as important as
a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient
performance and longer life for the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.
NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted
engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the
first three hours of use.
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel. Review the fuel warnings on page 18.
2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the
normal (safe) operating range.
3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with
vehicle operation and handling.
4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.
5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride
inspection checklist. See page 35. During the break-in period, change both the oil and
the filter at 25 hours.
6. Pull only light loads.
7. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation
and every 100 hours thereafter.
8. Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of operation and every
100 hours thereafter to ensure proper cable tension. See page 78.
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 duct and from the engine compartment.
