FEATURES
RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System
The RIDER SELECT adjustable steering system (if equipped) allows
you to adjust the handlebar position to fit your style of riding. Some
models have five (5) adjustment positions. Other models have seven (7)
positions.
Choosing the Best RIDER SELECT Position
WARNING
If your snowmobile has five adjustment positions, do not remove the RIDER
SELECT lockout. Your Polaris snowmobile has been engineered for this
range of adjustability. Removing this lockout and using RIDER SELECT posi-
tion 6 or 7 will result in the handlebars and brake lever contacting other com-
ponents and interfering with steering and braking. This could lead to loss of
control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that the handle-
bars and brake lever do not contact any other snowmobile components at
any steering position AND at any RIDER SELECT position.
Do not use RIDER SELECT positions 6 or 7 unless riding conditions require
it. Operation in position 6 or 7 can reduce vehicle handling for other types of
riding and result in serious injury or death.

for most riding situations.

Rider weight is ahead of the center of the
