Age Restrictions

This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. Operation is prohibited

for anyone under 16 years of age.

Know Your Vehicle

As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for your personal

safety, the safety of others, and the protection of our environment.

Read and understand your owner’s manual, which includes valuable

information about all aspects of your vehicle, including safe operating

procedures.

Safety Training

When you purchased your new ATV, your dealer offered a hands-on

safety training course that covers all aspects of vehicle safety. You

were also provided with printed materials that explain safe operating

procedures. You should review this information on a regular basis.

If you purchased a used Polaris ATV from a party other than a Polaris

dealer, you can request this free safety training from any authorized

Polaris dealer.

NOTE: Illustrations used in this manual are for general representation

only. Your model may differ.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings contained in this manual can result

in severe injury or death.

A Polaris ATV Pro 500 is not a toy and can be hazardous to

operate. This vehicle handles differently than other vehicles, such

as motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly,

even during routine maneuvers like turning, or driving on hills or

over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.

Read and understand your owner’s manual and all warnings

before operating a Polaris ATV Pro 500.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

The frame vehicle identification number (VIN) (1) and engine serial

number (2) are important for model identification when registering

your vehicle, when obtaining insurance, and when ordering

replacement parts. If your vehicle is stolen, these numbers are essential

to its recovery and identification.

NOTE: Record your vehicle’s ID numbers in the spaces provided.

Remove the spare key and store it in a safe place. Your key can be

duplicated only by mating a Polaris key blank with an existing key.

replacement.
