SAFETY WARNING AND OPERATION DECALS
WARNING
Polaris Indys are high performance snowmobiles capable of traveling at very high
speeds. Because of this, extra caution must be observed to ensure operator safe-
ty. Particular caution must be taken to make sure that the snowmobile is in excel-
lent operating condition at all times. As with any performance snowmobile, we
strongly recommend the operator check major and vital safety components each
time before riding.
All Polaris snowmobiles have been designed and tested to provide safe operation
when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from
operation with any modification; especially those which increase speed or power.
The machines may become aerodynamically unstable at speeds above those for
which they are designed. There is also a significant possibility of loss of control at
higher speeds.
Due to our concern for the safety of our customers and the general public, Polaris
hereby strongly recommends and requests that consumers do not install on a Po-
laris snowmobile any equipment which is intended to increase the speed or power
of the machine, or make any other modifications to the machines for these pur-
poses. Any modifications to the original equipment or the snowmobiles substan-
tially increase the risk of bodily injury. Be aware that these modifications may
create a substantial safety hazard.
Polaris hereby informs you that the warranty on a snowmobile is terminated on the
entire machine if any such equipment has been added to the machine or any modi-
fications have been made to the machine which increase its speed or power.
We also advise you to strictly follow the recommended maintenance program out-
lined on pages 48-100. This preventative maintenance program is designed to en-
sure that all critical components on the snowmobile are thoroughly inspected by
your dealer at various mileage intervals.
