Default Brilliant Polaris Minds

Riddle me this... Got the Popo 3500HD winch on my Highlifter Sportsman and decided I'd pony up the $ for the wireless remote. Get it the other day and find no instructions in the box. They don't come with them and good luck finding them online. Thankfully, it was pretty easy to figure out and works slick.

The question I have for the brilliant minds at Polaris is this- you buy an electrical component that has 5 different connections and it has no installation instructions available but you buy a rear bumper which consists of a bumper and four bolts that a two year old could install without instructions in 5 minutes and it comes with illustrated instructions...

That's my rant for the day. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

These "brilliant minds" don't have a good enough quality assurance department to check out what a lot of their second party suppliers provide with their products that they make for them. Plus I can just about guarantee the remote is from a Chinese supplier and you know they don't have a QA department at all. Had the same problem on a lot of Chinese stuff like this. Bumpers,racks,storage boxes,gun scabbards,etc were good on instructions because I think most of these items were made over here or in Canada.

I believe RticKwad bought the same kind of remote with no instructions.

Right, or the instructions are step by step for the obvious, but leave out information where you need it. And I agree with OPT, all my many genuine Polaris accessories were made by our Chinese "friends".

I ain't rich, but I would gladly pay more if everything was built in Canada/USA again.
