PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

Steering System
Manually turn the skis completely to the right and to the left. If any dif-
ficulty is encountered, remove any ice and snow build-up that may be
obstructing the steering linkage.

Track Inspection
WARNING! Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the
possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious
injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of track
damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of
time in marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break
track edges and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubri-
cation would include frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy
trails, and no-snow conditions. Track damage or failure caused by oper-
ation on ice or poor lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
Deep Lug Tracks (if equipped)
The 2.4" powder track is designed specifically for deep snow applica-
tions. Operation in low snow conditions at high speeds may cause track
lug separation. Track lug separation is not covered under the Polaris
limited warranty policy. Polaris does not recommend operation above
70 mph with this track.
NOTICE: High speed use on hard-packed surfaces is not recommended for
models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may occur.
Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent slow-speed
intervals for track cooling.
