Ice And Snow Build-Up; Driving On Slippery Surfaces - Polaris 550 Transport Owner's Manual

Operator Safety

Ice and Snow Build-up

Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your machine, result-
ing in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of snow and ice.
Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice
and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty
is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing
the steering linkage.

Driving on Slippery Surfaces

Driving on ice or hard-packed snow reduces steering and braking control,
which may result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Never attempt
an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery surfaces. Slow
down and use extra caution when operating on slippery surfaces.
