    INTRODUCTION Important Notes for Owners and Drivers After reading this manual, store it in the snowmobile for convenient ref- erence. It should remain with the snowmobile when the snowmobile is sold. Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general rep- resentations.

  • Page 10: 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 11: 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 12: 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 sym- bols are used. Become familiar with their meanings before reading the manual. The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal injury hazard. WARNING A WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.

  • Page 13: 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 opera- tion with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE.

  • Page 14
    SAFETY Operator Safety Stay Clear of Track Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. WARNING! Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the track.
  • Page 15: Survival Preparation

    Operator Safety Riding Position Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider positions may vary with experience; but under many conditions, the proper position is to be seated with both feet on the running boards and both hands on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake and steering control.

  • Page 16: Eye Protection

    Eye Protection Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. When- ever riding a Polaris vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof helmet face shield. Polaris recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE.

  • Page 17: Rider Capacity

    SAFETY Operator Safety Rider Capacity Your snowmobile is designed for up to two riders. A decal on the console indicates that the vehicle is designed for one operator and one passenger only. WARNING! Operating improperly with a passenger could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death.

  • Page 18: Cargo Capacity

    SAFETY Operator Safety Cargo Capacity See page 32 for cargo loading information. WARNING! Overloading the cargo carrier can cause loss of control resulting in severe injury or death. The maximum cargo carrier capacity is 75 lbs. (34 kg). Never exceed the cargo carrier capacity. Disabled Operators Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical skills.

  • Page 19: Excessive Speed

    SAFETY Operator Safety Excessive Speed WARNING! High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather. Always observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile opera- tion and speed limits.

  • Page 20: 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.

    Operator Safety Avalanches Snowmobilers should always be properly trained and equipped before traveling in mountainous terrain: • Take an avalanche class • Travel with experienced people • Travel on designated trails • Make sure each person is equipped with a shovel, probe and avalanche beacon.
  • Page 22: Driving Downhill

    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 23: Driving On Slippery Surfaces

    SAFETY Operator Safety Driving on Slippery Surfaces WARNING! Never attempt an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery surfaces. Proceed slowly and use extra caution. Driving on ice or hard- packed snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in loss of control and serious injury or death.

  • Page 24: Drive Belt

    SAFETY Operator Safety Drive Belt Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed. CAUTION! Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in personal injury or damage to the engine. Any servicing that requires operation without a belt must be performed by your dealer.

  • Page 25: Operating In Deep Snow

    SAFETY Operator Safety Inadequate Snow Conditions Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow cover is a requirement for operation of your snowmobile. NOTICE: Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail, track and/or engine.

  • Page 26: Driving Responsibly

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