INTRODUCTION

Important Notes for Owners and Drivers

After reading this manual, store it in the snowmobile for convenient ref-

erence. It should remain with the snowmobile when the snowmobile is 

sold.
Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general rep-

resentations. Your model may differ.
Follow the maintenance program outlined in this manual. Preventive 

maintenance ensures that critical components of the snowmobile are 

inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals.
You and your dealer must complete the registration form included with 

your snowmobile and forward it to us. This completed form is necessary 

to ensure warranty coverage.
Protect and preserve your right to ride by joining your local trail riding 

clubs.
When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined 

course for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the 

snowmobile before allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them 

proper snowmobile courtesy, and enroll them in driver’s training and 

safety courses sponsored by local or state organizations.

INTRODUCTION

Preservation of the Environment

Polaris is committed to supporting an environmental education cam-

paign. We encourage state and provincial governments across the snow-

belt to adopt rigorous safety training programs that encourage protection 

of our environment, including wildlife and vegetation.
Snowmobile clubs and other organizations are working together to pro-

tect our environment. Please support their efforts and operate your 

snowmobile with consideration for the protection and preservation of 

our environment.

Noise Level

One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The 

Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the standard-setting body for 

snowmobile development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to 

prescribed sound levels.
Polaris snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE standards. 

Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and must not be 

altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not be welcome 

to non-snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to operate your 

snowmobile with concern for others. We do our part by manufacturing 

quieter machines; we ask your help to further reduce the impact of noise 

by operating your snowmobile safely and responsibly.

Vehicle Identification Numbers

Record your snowmobile’s identification numbers and key number in 

the spaces provided. Remove the spare key and store it in a safe place. 

Your key can be duplicated only by mating a Polaris key blank with one 

of your existing keys, so if both keys are lost, the ignition switch must 

be replaced.
