FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing a Polaris snowmobile. We believe it is the standard of
excellence for all snowmobiles manufactured in the world today. Many years of
experience in engineering, design, and development have gone into making your
Polaris snowmobile the finest machine we have ever produced.
All machines, no matter how well engineered, require a certain amount of mainte-
nance. Before using your snowmobile, take a few minutes to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with maintenance and operation procedures. It
may be the most important time spent in knowing how to keep your machine run-
ning perfectly every day.
If the registration form included with your snowmobile has not been com-
pleted by you and your dealer, be certain that it is; and make sure that it is
forwarded to us. This completed form is necessary to insure warranty cover-
age.
This manual also contains important pages devoted to safety and environment.
Whether you are a long-time snowmobiler or a newcomer to this exciting winter
sport, we urge you to seriously read this information.
Remember, your snowmobile is capable of traveling at high speeds. This perfor-
mance has been engineered into your Polaris to allow you the ultimate snowmobil-
ing experience. Operators must be aware of risks involved when traveling at high
speeds, on iced or hard packed surfaces, at night or in unfamiliar terrain. In addi-
tion, young or novice riders who do not have the ability or experience to physically
control the machine in difficult situations should be instructed to reduce their speed
until they become skilled riders.
On machines designated for two passengers it is most important that the operator
and rider communicate well and practice cornering techniques, rough terrain rid-
ing, etc., so that each is contributing to a safe, enjoyable ride. Keep the running
board non-skid pads free of ice and snow and in good condition for increased safe-
ty and passenger comfort. The safe and courteous operation of your snowmobile
- with respect for the environment - will insure you the continued enjoyment of the
sport of snowmobiling.
If you should experience any problems with your snowmobile, please return it to
your dealer. He has received training which will enable him to perform any required
repairs. Should any additional assistance be required, your dealer will work with
our technical services department to resolve any problems.
All of us at Polaris would like to extend to you our best wishes for plenty of fun-filled,
safe snowmobiling pleasure with your new Polaris.
