SAFETY
Operator Safety
Your Polaris snowmobile is a well-engineered and well-constructed
recreational vehicle. Follow the recommended maintenance program
outlined beginning on page 81 of this manual to ensure that all critical
components on the snowmobile are thoroughly inspected by your
dealer at specific mileage intervals.
WARNING
Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT drink
alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while driving. They
will reduce your alertness and slow your reaction time. In most
states and provinces, it’s prohibited by law to drive while
intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
Polaris produces high performance snowmobiles capable of
traveling at high speeds. Extra caution must be observed to
ensure operator safety. Make sure your snowmobile is in
excellent operating condition at all times. We strongly
recommend that the operator 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 operation with any modifications,
especially those that increase speed or power. DO NOT
MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile may become
aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than those for which it
is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds.
Modifications may also create a safety hazard and lead to bodily
injury.
The warranty on your entire machine is terminated if any
equipment has been added, or any modifications have been
made, to increase the speed or power of the snowmobile.
