SAFETY
Operator Safety
Disabled Operators
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and
physical skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have
an increased risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury
or death.
Cargo Overload
Too much weight on the rear of the machine may reduce your ability to
steer. Do not exceed carrier and rack weight limits, and do not allow a
passenger to sit on the seat back or the cargo carrier.
WARNING
Control becomes more difficult with two people on board. More
space is required to make turns, and longer distances are needed
for stopping. Make sure the passenger remains seated behind
the driver, facing forward, with both feet placed firmly on the
running boards. Slow down and avoid “jumping” your
snowmobile.
Rider Capacities
Driving 1-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for a single
rider only. A decal on the console of these models indicates single
rider operation.
Driving 2-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for up to two
riders. A decal on the hood of these models indicates that the vehicle
is designed for one operator and one passenger only. See page 24 for
decal location.
Machines designed for two riders should never be operated with more
than two people on board. When traveling with a passenger, it’s the
driver’s responsibility to operate the machine safely.
