FEATURES

RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System

The RIDER SELECT adjustable steering system (if equipped) allows

you to adjust the handlebar position to fit your style of riding. Some

models have five (5) adjustment positions. Other models have seven (7)

positions.

WARNING! If your snowmobile has five adjustment positions, do not remove

the RIDER SELECT lockout. Your Polaris snowmobile has been engineered for

this range of adjustability. Removing this lockout and using RIDER SELECT

position 6 or 7 will result in the handlebars and brake lever contacting other

components and interfering with steering and braking. This could lead to loss of

control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that the handlebars

and brake lever do not contact any other snowmobile components at any

steering position AND at any RIDER SELECT position.
Do not use RIDER SELECT positions 6 or 7 unless riding conditions require it.

Operation in position 6 or 7 can reduce vehicle handling for other types of riding

and result in serious injury or death.
