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

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.

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 Premium 4 Synthetic Oil is specifically formulated for your
4-cycle engine.
Engine and Drivetrain Break-in
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See page 28. Always exercise
extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
2. Check the oil level. See page 91. Add the recommended oil as
needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.
3. Complete the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on pages
58-59.
