2007 Polaris Ranger 500 4x4 Owners Manual - Page 16

Operator Safety WARNING SAFETY Make sure your RANGER is in excellent operating condition at all times. We strongly recommend that the operator check all safety components before each ride. Polaris RANGERs are designed to provide safe operation when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. The RANGER may become aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a safety hazard and lead to bodily injury. Do not make any modifications to your RANGER. Equipment Modifications We are concerned for the safety of our customers and for the general public. Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers do not install on a Polaris RANGER any equipment that may increase the speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment of the vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injury. The warranty on your Polaris RANGER is terminated if any equipment has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to the vehicle, that increase its speed or power. NOTE: The addition of certain accessories, including (but not limited to) mowers, blades, tires, sprayers, or large racks, may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Use only Polaris-approved accessories, and familiarize yourself with their function and effect on the vehicle. 13
