SAFETY
Operator Safety
Follow the recommended maintenance program beginning on page 65
of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the snowmobile
are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals.
Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT drink alcohol or use
drugs or medications before or while driving. They will reduce your alertness
and slow your reaction time. In most states and provinces, it’s prohibited by law
to drive while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
Polaris produces high performance snowmobiles capable of traveling at high
speeds. Extra caution must be observed to ensure operator safety. Make sure
your snowmobile is in excellent operating condition at all times. We strongly rec-
ommend that the operator check major and vital safety components before
every ride.
All Polaris snowmobiles are designed and tested to provide safe operation when
used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from opera-
tion with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. DO
NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile may become aerodynami-
cally unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of con-
trol may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a safety hazard
and lead to bodily injury.
The warranty on your entire machine is terminated if any equipment has
been added, or any modifications have been made, to increase the speed or
power of the snowmobile.
