Tip-Over Inspections

In the event of a tip-over or rollover, check the oil level before operating

the snowmobile.

NOTICE: Failure to check the oil after a tip-over can result in serious engine

damage. Always check the oil level before operating a snowmobile

that has tipped over or rolled over.

Inspect the foam oil breather element any time the snowmobile has been

tipped onto its left side. Clean the element if oil is present. See page

102.

NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with a clogged foam oil breather element

can result in severe engine damage. Always clean or replace the

element as recommended.

In the event of a tip-over or rollover, the engine will stop. To restart the

engine, turn the key to the OFF position, then restart.

WARNING! Operating a snowmobile with accident damage can result in

serious injury or death. Do not operate the snowmobile if vehicle components

have been damaged in a collision or tip-over. Have the snowmobile inspected by

an authorized Polaris dealer.
