Operation Warning

An operation warning decal is present on the console of all Polaris

snowmobiles:

• 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 operat-

ing 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 require-

ments.

• 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 oper-

ation. 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.
