SAFETY

Operator Safety

Stay Clear of Track

Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially

exposed for proper operation.

Stay Clear of Engine

Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Turn off the igni-

tion, raise the hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and guards,

secure the hood, and then restart the engine to check its operation.

WARNING

Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or

clothing become entangled in the track. Be

alert when riding, and remain properly

seated to stay clear of the track.
Never hold the snowmobile up or stand

behind it while warming up the track. A

loose track or flying debris could cause

serious injury or death. We recommend

having your dealer perform all track service

and alignment procedures.

WARNING

Serious injury can occur if fingers or clothing contact the moving parts of an

engine. Always stop the engine before attempting adjustments.

Riding Position

Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.

Rider positions may vary with experience and the features available on

some snowmobiles, but under many conditions, the proper position is to

be seated with both feet on the running boards and both hands on the

handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake and steering control.

Riding Apparel

Be prepared, be warm and be com-

fortable when riding. Be aware of

the weather forecast, especially the

windchill, and dress accordingly.

See the chart on page 20.

WARNING

Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in serious injury

or death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your vehicle.

WARNING

Avoid wearing loose clothing or

long scarves, which can become

entangled in moving parts and

cause serious injury. Always

wear an approved helmet and

eye protection.

Survival Preparation

For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always

tell someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone. If

it isn't possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote

areas, always carry survival equipment that's appropriate to the condi-

tions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is not lim-

ited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a

signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cel-

lular telephone.

For added protection, carry the following items on your snowmobile at

all times:

• Spare Drive Belt

• Winter Survival Kit

• Extra Set of Spark Plugs

• Trail Map

• Tow Rope

• Owner's Manual

• Extra Oil

• First Aid Kit

• Fuel Deicer

• Tool Kit

Operator Safety

Disabled Operators

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and

physical skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an

increased risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury or

death.

Rider Capacity

Your Polaris snowmobile is designed for a single rider only. Do not

carry a passenger.

Excessive Speed

Always observe all laws governing snowmobile operation and speed

limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. Multiplying

speed (MPH) by 1.5 will equal the approximate number of feet per sec-

ond your machine travels. If your speed is 40 MPH, your machine is

traveling about 60 feet per second. If you look back for only two sec-

onds, your machine will travel about 120 feet. If your speed is 60 MPH,

your machine will travel about 180 feet in two seconds.

Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight

to ensure proper operation, and don't over-drive your headlight beam.

Always be able to bring your machine to a stop in the distance illumi-

nated by the headlight.

WARNING

High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death.

Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.
