    INTRODUCTION Important Notes for Owners and Drivers After reading this manual, store it in the snowmobile for convenient reference. It should remain with the snowmobile when the snowmobile is sold. Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general representations.
  • Page 8: Preservation Of The Environment

    POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE standards. Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and must not be altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not be welcome to non-snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to operate your snowmobile with concern for others.
  • Page 9: Vehicle Identification Numbers

    Remove the spare key and store it in a safe place. Your key can be duplicated only by mating a POLARIS key blank with one of your existing keys, so if both keys are lost, the ignition switch must be replaced.
  • Page 10: Safety

    SAFETY Operator Safety The following signal words and symbols appear throughout this manual and on your vehicle. Your safety is involved when these words and symbols are used. Become familiar with their meanings before reading the manual. The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal injury hazard. DANGER A DANGER indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
  • Page 11: Operator Safety

    Always 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.
  • Page 12: Riding Position

    SAFETY Operator Safety Stay Clear of Track Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. Do not stand on the plastic flap. WARNING! Serious injuries may result if NO STEP hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track.
  • Page 13: Riding Apparel

    Riding Apparel Helmet Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding a POLARIS vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label.
  • Page 14: Survival Preparation

    SAFETY Operator Safety Survival Preparation For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always tell someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone. If it isn't possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote areas, always carry survival equipment that's appropriate to the conditions you may encounter.
  • Page 15: Driver Awareness

    SAFETY Operator Safety Driver Awareness Slow down when traveling near poles, posts, or other obstacles. Be especially alert if you're snowmobiling after dark. Always be on the alert for wire fences. Single strands are especially dangerous, since there may be a great distance between posts. Guy wires on utility poles are also difficult to distinguish.
  • Page 16 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding Mountainous terrain operation, even for experienced riders, can present conditions and situations that could result in serious injury or death. Please review all of the information about riding in mountainous terrain on the following pages of this manual. WARNING! An avalanche can occur at any time, in any conditions and on any slope.
  • Page 17 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding Get the Safety Gear In addition to carrying a spare belt, spark plugs and tools on each snowmobile, each person in your riding group should wear the recommended snowmobile riding apparel and carry (on their person) the following survival items when riding in mountainous terrain: •...
  • Page 18 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding Get to Know Your Safety Gear Following the safety gear and apparel recommendations will increase your chances of survival if you encounter an avalanche or become stranded in the backcountry, but even experienced and properly- equipped snowmobilers, hikers and skiers perish in avalanches or succumb to hypothermia.
  • Page 19 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding Get Avalanche Safety Training POLARIS recommends you and all members of your riding group participate in an avalanche safety course. Visit www.avalanche.org/ education or scan the QR code for education and training resources. Get the Forecast Make a riding plan based on the current avalanche and weather forecast.
  • Page 20 The track features paddles that pack and shovel snow rather than dig in and grip the snowpack. Because POLARIS mountain snowmobiles feature tall track paddles, the rear suspension rails and sliders will sit above the snowpack on a groomed trail.
  • Page 21 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding Get to Know Your Mountain Snowmobile Always practice riding your mountain snowmobile in a safe, open, flat area before attempting your first ride in mountainous terrain. This is especially important for low-elevation riders who are not accustomed to riding a snowmobile designed for deep snow.
  • Page 22 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding Avalanche Awareness Avalanches are a matter of timing. A steep slope can be safe one day, but unsafe the next day due to changing weather and wind conditions. • Always review the user instructions provided with your safety equipment and follow the recommendations for maintenance, testing and use.
  • Page 23 SAFETY Operator Safety Mountainous Terrain Riding North American Public Avalanche Danger Scale Avalanche danger is determined by the likelihood, size and distribution of avalanches. Danger Level Travel Advice Likelihood of Avalanche Size Avalanches and Distribution Avoid all avalanche Natural and Large to very large terrain.
  • Page 24: Driving On Slippery Surfaces

    SAFETY Operator Safety Ice and Snow Build-up WARNING! Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your snowmobile, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of snow and ice. Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering.
  • Page 25: Driving Downhill

    SAFETY Operator Safety Driving Downhill When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snowmobile and reduce your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep the clutch engaged, allowing the engine's compression to help slow the snowmobile and keep it from rolling freely downhill.
  • Page 26: Drive Belt

    SAFETY Operator Safety Drive Belt Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed. Any servicing that requires operation without a belt must be performed by your dealer. NOTICE: Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in injury or damage to the engine.
  • Page 27: Driving Responsibly

    SAFETY Operator Safety Driving Responsibly Every snowmobile handles differently, and even the most docile conditions may become dangerous if operators drive improperly. If you're new to snowmobiling, acquaint yourself with the snowmobile and with what it will and won't do under various conditions. Even seasoned drivers should spend some time getting the feel for a snowmobile before attempting ambitious maneuvers.
