Driving Safely OPERATION Follow these precautions when operating in reverse: 1. Always avoid backing downhill. 2. Back slowly. 3. When in reverse, apply the brakes lightly for stopping. 4. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse. 5. Never open the throttle suddenly while backing. Driving in Reverse WARNING Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse, always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. When it's safe to proceed, back slowly. Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required for vehicle movement. Use with caution. Avoid backing on inclines, and avoid turning at sharp angles. NOTE: This Polaris ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. The override button should be used with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to maintain a desired speed. CAUTION 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. 59
