Snowmobile Polaris 600 IQ Touring (2010 year). Manual - part 8

FEATURES

RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System

The RIDER SELECT adjustable steering system (if equipped) allows

you to adjust the handlebar position to fit your style of riding. Some

models have five (5) adjustment positions. Other models have seven (7)

positions.

WARNING! If your snowmobile has five adjustment positions, do not remove

the RIDER SELECT lockout. Your Polaris snowmobile has been engineered for

this range of adjustability. Removing this lockout and using RIDER SELECT

position 6 or 7 will result in the handlebars and brake lever contacting other

components and interfering with steering and braking. This could lead to loss of

control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that the handlebars

and brake lever do not contact any other snowmobile components at any

steering position AND at any RIDER SELECT position.
Do not use RIDER SELECT positions 6 or 7 unless riding conditions require it.

Operation in position 6 or 7 can reduce vehicle handling for other types of riding

and result in serious injury or death.

Choosing the Best RIDER SELECT Position

Position

Riding Style

1
2
3

Relaxed Trail Riding

Rider weight is slightly behind the center

of the snowmobile for comfortable and

relaxed riding.

4
5

General Trail Riding, Boondocking,

Deep Snow Riding

Rider weight is centered on the snowmo-

bile, providing balance, comfort and con-

trol for both novice and experienced

riders. This is the recommended position

for most riding situations.

6
7

Snowcross/Steep Hill Climbing Only

Rider weight is ahead of the center of the

snowmobile, adding weight to the skis and

making the snowmobile heavier in the

front. These positions are ONLY for

snowcross and severe hill climbing.

FEATURES

RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System

WARNING! Attempting to adjust the handlebar position while the snowmobile is

moving could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Always stop

the snowmobile before attempting to adjust the steering system.

1. Stop the snowmobile.
2. Press the release button

and move the handlebar

forward or rearward to

the desired position.

WARNING! Do not lubricate the RIDER SELECT mechanism. Doing so could

cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. The RIDER SELECT

mechanism is lubricated for life at the factory.
WARNING! Some aftermarket accessories (including windshields and cargo

bags) may interfere with the handlebar. Such accessories could limit your ability

to steer the vehicle and/or may contact the brake lever. This could lead to loss of

control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that accessories do

not contact the handlebar or brake lever at any steering position and at any

RIDER SELECT position.

FEATURES

Detonation Elimination Technology (DET)

The DET system prevents damage to the engine from detonation by

automatically reducing the engine timing and adding fuel whenever the

sensors detect detonation.
You may notice decreased engine RPM and performance when DET is

activated, but in most cases DET activation is temporary, and the timing

will return to normal automatically. In extreme conditions the DET sys-

tem retards timing and holds it in a retarded state. If this occurs, replace

the fuel with recommended fuel or see your Polaris dealer for service.

Sensor Fail-Safe

The DET includes a sensor fail-safe system to prevent the engine from

damage if the sensor fails, becomes disconnected or is unable to detect

detonation. The rider will experience a loss of power. The sensor must

be reconnected or repaired to regain full power. See your Polaris dealer

for service if this occurs.

Tip: The check engine light will flash six times if the sensor fails or becomes dis-

connected.

Cause of DET Activation

Solution

Poor quality fuel

Replace with higher quality fuel

Improper engine modifications
