Operator Safety
Rider Capacity
Your Polaris snowmobile is designed for a single rider only. Do not
carry a passenger.
Excessive Speed
WARNING
High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious
injury or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in
inclement weather.
Always observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile
operation and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the
trail ahead. Multiplying speed (MPH) by 1.5 will equal the
approximate number of feet per second your machine travels. If your
speed is 40 MPH, your machine is traveling about 60 feet per second.
If you look back for only two seconds, your machine will travel about
120 feet. If your speed is 60 MPH, your machine will travel about 180
feet in two seconds.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight
to ensure proper operation, and don’t over-drive your headlight beam.
Always be able to bring your machine to a stop in the distance
illuminated by the headlight.
