OPERATION WARNINGS

Before Starting The Engine

Read and Understand Your Owner’s Manual

Read the Owner’s Manual completely now, and re-read it occasionally. We have

attempted to provide you with as much information as possible to alert you to the

safety requirements of snowmobiling.

Check Throttle and Brake for Proper Operation

The throttle and brake are the primary controls of your snowmobile. If either should

malfunction, a serious loss of control could result.
When checking the throttle, make sure the control lever will compress evenly and

smoothly. When the lever is released, it should immediately return to the idle posi-

tion without binding or hesitation. If the throttle does not function smoothly, do not

attempt to start the engine. Have the throttle serviced before starting the engine.
The need for a properly functioning brake is vital. This snowmobile is equipped

with the highest quality brake system available. The brake must be checked for

correct operation before starting the engine. See page 13 for details.

Check for Proper Operation of Steering System

Check for proper operation of the steering system by manually turning the skis

completely to the right and to the left. If difficulty is encountered, check for ice and

snow buildup which may be obstructing the steering linkage. Make certain all

greasable components are properly lubricated.

Single Rider Snowmobiles

Some Polaris snowmo-

bile models are de-

signed for a single oc-

cupant only. A decal on

the console of these

models indicates single

occupant operation.
