INTRODUCTION

Preservation of the Environment

Environmental Protection

As part of the continuing environmental education campaign, we are 

encouraging state and provincial governments across the snowbelt to 

adopt rigorous safety training programs which also encourage protec-

tion of our environment, wildlife and vegetation. Snowmobile clubs and 

other organizations are working together to protect our environment. It 

is very important that we encourage them as well as become actively 

involved ourselves. Protect and preserve your right to ride by joining 

your local trail riding clubs. Teach your child the following:
Respect your snowmobile; 
respect your environment;
and you will earn
the respect of everyone.

SAFETY

Equipment Modifications

All Polaris snowmobiles have been designed and tested to provide safe 

operation when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components 

may result from operation with any modification; especially those that 

increase speed or power. There is a significant possibility of loss of con-

trol at higher speeds.
We are concerned for the safety of our customers and for the general 

public. Any modifications to the original equipment of the vehicle cre-

ate a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injury. 

Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers do not install on a 

Polaris snowmobile any equipment that may increase the speed or 

power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for 

these purposes.
The warranty on your Polaris snowmobile is terminated if any equip-

ment has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been 

made to the vehicle, that increase its speed or power.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings in this manual can result in severe injury or 

death. Read and understand the owner's manual and all warning decals 

before operating a Polaris snowmobile. Adults must thoroughly explain this 

information, including all safe operating procedures, to all operators of the 

snowmobile. All operators must be at least six (6) years old and must under-

stand the consequences and risks if they choose to ignore or neglect this 

information.
