SAFETY
DRIVE BELT
Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed.
Any servicing that requires operation without a belt can be performed by your
authorized POLARIS dealer.
WARNING
Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in injury or damage to
the engine.
INTAKE SILENCER
Do not operate the engine with the intake silencer or filter removed.
NOTICE
Damage to the engine may occur if the intake silencer or filter are removed.
CLUTCHES
Do not attempt to service the clutches.
All clutch service can be performed by your authorized POLARIS dealer. The
clutch is a complex mechanism that rotates at high speeds. Each clutch is
dynamically balanced before installation. Any tampering may disrupt this
precision balancing and create an unstable condition.
COLD WEATHER DRIVE-AWAY
Whenever your snowmobile has been parked for a length of time, especially
overnight, always make sure the skis and track are loosened from ice and snow
before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with enough authority to put the
snowmobile into motion, but always operate within safety limits.
On 2-up machines, always operate with respect for a passenger.
MANEUVERABILITY
While much control and maneuverability is achieved through the steering
system and skis, maximum control is achieved by the shifting of your body
weight. Maneuverability will change based on rider weight and foot position on
running boards.
