Operation; Starting The Engine; Starting A Cold Engine - Polaris 800 Pro X Owner's Manual

Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the
slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure.
Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow
adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces.
Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

Starting the Engine

Before starting the engine, always refer to all safety warnings
pertaining to snowmobile operation. Never start your snowmobile
without checking all components to be sure of proper operation.
See Check Before Starting the Engine beginning on page 48.
