INTRODUCTION
PRESERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
POLARIS is committed to supporting an environmental education campaign. We
encourage state and provincial governments across the snowbelt to adopt
rigorous safety training programs that encourage protection of our environment,
including wildlife and vegetation.
Snowmobile clubs and other organizations are working together to protect our
environment. Please support their efforts and operate your snowmobile with
consideration for the protection and preservation of our environment.
NOISE LEVEL
One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE®), the standard-setting body for snowmobile
development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to prescribed sound
levels.
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. We do our part by manufacturing quieter machines; we ask
your help to further reduce the impact of noise by operating your snowmobile
safely and responsibly.
AIR POLLUTION
POLARIS engineers continuously investigate ways to reduce emission levels of
two-stroke engines. We expect our efforts to lead to the reduction of potential air
pollution.
In addition to our technological research, we encourage government agencies,
manufacturers, distributors, dealers, ecologists, and other interested parties to
work together to develop data on environmental topics.
