SAFETY

Operator Safety

Follow the recommended maintenance program outlined beginning on

page 101 of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the

snowmobile are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at specific mileage

intervals.

WARNING

Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT drink alcohol or

use drugs or medications before or while driving or riding as a passenger.

They will reduce your alertness and slow your reaction time.
Snowmobiles are capable of traveling at high speeds. Use extra caution to

ensure operator safety. Make sure your snowmobile is in excellent operating

condition at all times. Always check major and vital safety components

before every ride.
All Polaris snowmobiles are designed and tested 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. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile 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.
The warranty on your entire machine is terminated if any equipment has

been added, or any modifications have been made, to increase the speed or

power of the snowmobile.
