SAFETY

Safety Labels and Locations

Operation Warning

An operation warning label is present on the console of all POLARIS 
snowmobiles:

WARNING

• To avoid serious injury or death, read and understand all warnings 

and the Owner’s Manual before operation. If manual is missing, 
contact a POLARIS dealer for a replacement.

• This vehicle is capable of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven 

terrain can cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme 
caution when operating in unfamiliar terrain.

• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can 

result in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to 
avoid unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.

• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this 

vehicle.

• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located 

on the top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then 
pull the brake lever to stop.

• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate 

clothing while operating this vehicle.

• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age 

requirements.

• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only), 

reduce speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A 
passenger reduces your ability to control the vehicle.

• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, 

steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and 
allow extra space to turn or stop.

• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you 

should have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See 
Owner’s Manual for proper use of traction products.

• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss 

of braking ability.

• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave 

brake engaged for more than five minutes.

• Before starting the engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for 

proper operation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in 
position to control the vehicle.

Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when 
refueling.
