Safety Decals and Locations

Operation Warning

An operation warning decal is present on the console of all POLARIS
snowmobiles:
WARNING
• To avoid serious injury or death, read and understand all warnings and the
Owner's Manual before operation. If manual is missing, contact a POLARIS
dealer for a replacement.
• This vehicle is capable of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven terrain can
cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme caution when operat-
ing in unfamiliar terrain.
• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can result in
insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid unexpected
obstacles, or to stop safely.
• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located on the top
of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then pull the brake lever
to stop.
• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate clothing
while operating this vehicle.
• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age require-
ments.
• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only), reduce speed
and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger reduces your
ability to control the vehicle.
• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, steering
and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and allow extra space
to turn or stop.
• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you should have
a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See Owner's Manual for
proper use of traction products.
• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of braking
ability.
• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave brake
engaged for more than five minutes.
• Before starting the engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper oper-
ation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in position to control the
vehicle.
Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when refueling.
