SAFETY

Operator Safety

Rider Capacity

Driving 1-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for a single

rider only. A decal on the console of these models indicates single rider

operation.
Driving 2-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for up to two

riders. A decal on the hood of these models indicates that the vehicle is

designed for one operator and one passenger only.

Snowmobiles designed for two riders should never be operated with

more than two people on board. When traveling with a passenger, it’s

the driver’s responsibility to operate the snowmobile safely.
Slow down! Control becomes more difficult with two people on board.

More space is required to make turns, and longer distances are necessary

for stopping.

Disabled Operators

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and

physical skills.

Cargo Overload

Too much weight on the rear of the machine may reduce your ability to

steer. Do not exceed carrier and rack weight limits, and do not allow a

passenger to sit on the seat back or the cargo carrier.

WARNING

Control becomes more difficult with two people on board. More space is

required to make turns, and longer distances are needed for stopping. Make

sure the passenger remains seated behind the driver, facing forward, with

both feet placed firmly on the running boards. Slow down and avoid “jumping”

your snowmobile.

WARNING

Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an increased risk of loss

of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Do not allow disabled

persons to operate this vehicle.
