SAFETY
Operator Safety
WARNING
Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT drink
alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while driving. They will
reduce your alertness and slow your reaction time. In most states and
provinces, it's prohibited by law to drive while intoxicated or under the
influence of drugs.
Polaris produces high performance snowmobiles capable of traveling at
high speeds. Extra caution must be observed to ensure operator safety.
Make sure your snowmobile is in excellent operating condition at all
times. We strongly recommend that the operator check major and vital
safety components before every ride.
All Polaris snowmobiles are designed and tested to provide safe
operation when used as directed. Failure of critical machine
components may result from operation with any modifications,
especially those that increase speed or power. DO NOT MODIFY
YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile may become aerodynamically
unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of
control may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a
safety hazard and lead to bodily injury.
The warranty on your entire machine is terminated if any equipment
has been added, or any modifications have been made, to increase the
speed or power of the snowmobile.
