Polaris 120 XC Rider's Safety Manual And Owner's Operation And Maintenance Manual page 3

FOREWORD TO PARENTS
Thank you for purchasing a Polaris snowmobile. We believe it is the standard of
excellence for all snowmobiles manufactured in the world today. Many years of
experience in engineering, design, and development have gone into making your
Polaris snowmobile the finest machine we have ever produced.
All machines, no matter how well engineered, require a certain amount of mainte-
nance. Before the snowmobile is used, take a few minutes to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself and your child with maintenance and operation
procedures. It may be the most important time spent in knowing how to keep your
machine running perfectly every day.
Your Polaris dealer will register your new snowmobile with Polaris Industries
Inc. electronically. No confirmations or validations of warranties will be is-
sued by Polaris.
This manual also contains important pages devoted to safety and environment.
Since the operator will be a newcomer to this exciting winter sport, make certain
he understands his information.
Operators must be aware of risks involved when traveling on icy or hard packed
surfaces, at night or in unfamiliar terrain. Young novice riders who do not have the
ability or experience to physically control the machine in difficult situations should
be instructed to reduce their speed until they become skilled riders.
Keep the running boards free of ice and snow and in good condition. The safe and
courteous operation of the snowmobile - with respect for the environment and pri-
vate property - will ensure the the continued enjoyment of the sport of snowmobil-
ing.
If you should experience any problems with your snowmobile, please return it to
your dealer. Dealers have received training which will enable them to perform any
required repairs. Should any additional assistance be required, your dealer will
work with our technical services department to resolve any problems.
All of us at Polaris would like to extend our best wishes for plenty of fun-filled, safe
snowmobiling pleasure with this new Polaris.
