Steering System - Polaris 50 Indy 2023 Owner's Manual

If the parking brake lever lock is partially or entirely engaged while riding, the
brakes may overheat, resulting in brake damage. In extreme cases it could
cause a fire, which could result in serious injury or death. Always ensure that
the lever lock is completely disengaged before operating the snowmobile.

STEERING SYSTEM

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
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.
TRACK
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication
conditions voids the track warranty.
Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the possibility of
track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or
death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of track
damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time in
marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, and
cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include
frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.
SEAT LATCHES
If your snowmobile is equipped with a removable or tip-up seat, ensure that the
seat latches are securely in place before every use of the snowmobile.
