OPERATION WARNINGS

Driving 2-Up

When operating a 2-Up machine with a passenger, the driver should be aware that

more space will be required to make turns, and a longer distance will be necessary

for stopping. Lower speeds should be observed whenever riding 2-Up.
CAUTION: Always make certain the passenger remains seated behind the driver,

facing forward, with both feet placed firmly on the running boards. Reduce operat-

ing speed and be particularly careful to avoid “jumping” your snowmobile.
Some Polaris snowmobile models are designed for two occupants. A decal on the

hood of these models indicates that the vehicle is designed for one operator and

one passenger only. Machines designated as double occupant should never be

operated with more than two people on board. When traveling with a passenger

aboard, it is the driver’s responsibility to operate the machine in a safe manner.

Remember that control becomes more difficult with two people on board. Reduce

speeds to retain control!

WARNING

Use of a backrest can hin-

der operator weight shift-

ing. This may affect con-

trol of this rider-active

vehicle in certain extreme

driving situations.

Track

Inspection

Driving

at

wide-open

throttle for extended peri-

ods of time in marginal lu-

brication could severely

damage track rods, break

track edges, and cause

other track damage. Ex-

amples of marginal lubrication would include lakes without snow cover, icy trails

and no-snow conditions.
Always inspect for damage before using the vehicle. Use of traction products such

as studs, ice growsers, paddles, etc. will increase the possibility of track damage

and/or failure. Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track will increase the

possibility of track damage and/or failure, which could cause loss of control

resulting in severe injury or death.
NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication

conditions will void the track warranty.

Do Not Operate Engine With Intake Silencer or Filter Removed

When operating engine with intake silencer or filter removed, damage to the engine

may occur.
