MAINTENANCE
Hood/Side Panel
The hood and side panels of the
snowmobile protect the operator
from moving parts. Never operate
a snowmobile with the side panels
open or removed. Always ensure
that the hood and side panels are
securely in place before starting
the engine.
To open a side panel, rotate the
two 1/4-turn fasteners at the upper
edges of the side panel. Release
the side panel strap at the lower
edge of the panel.
To remove an open side panel, pull
the panel outward to release the
tabs at the lower edge of the panel.
Removing the hood is not recommended. Any service requiring the
removal of the hood should be performed by an authorized POLARIS
dealer.
