SAFETY
Operator Safety
Cargo Overload
Too much weight on the rear of the snowmobile 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.
Disabled Operators
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and
physical skills.
WARNING! Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an increased
risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Do not allow
disabled persons to operate this vehicle.
Rider Capacity
Driving 1-Up - Some POLARIS snowmobiles are designed for a single
rider only. A label on the console of these models indicates single rider
operation.
Driving 2-Up - Some POLARIS snowmobiles are designed for up to
two riders. A label on the hood of these models indicates that the vehicle
is designed for one operator and one passenger only. See page 23 for
label location.
Snowmobiles 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 snowmobile safely.
Slow down! Control becomes more difficult with two people on board.
More space is required to make turns, and longer distances are necessary
for stopping.
