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 94.

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 components have
been damaged in a collision or tip-over. Have the snowmobile inspected by an
authorized POLARIS dealer.
