Steering System; Hood Latches; Recoil Rope - Polaris 600 RMK Owner's Manual

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine

Hood Latches

n
The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving parts
as well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions. Under
no circumstances should your snowmobile be operated with the hood
open or removed. Always ensure that the hood straps are in good
condition and that the latches are securely in place before operating the
snowmobile.

Recoil Rope

n
Inspect the recoil rope and handle for excessive wear, and make sure
the knot securing the rope inside the handle is secure. If excessive
wear is found, see your Polaris dealer for replacement.

Steering System

n
WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your
machine, 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. If
difficulty is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be
obstructing the steering linkage
NOTE: If your snowmobile is equipped with RIDER SELECT,
perform this check in both the full up and full down steering
positions.
