PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n
Hood Latches
The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving parts as
well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions. Under no
circumstances should your snowmobile be operated with the hood open
or removed. Always ensure that the hood straps are in good condition
and that the latches are securely in place before operating the snowmo-
bile.
n
Seat Latches
If your snowmobile is equipped with a removable seat, ensure that the
seat latches are securely in place before every use of the snowmobile.
n
Recoil Rope
Inspect the recoil rope and handle for excessive wear, and make sure the
knot securing the rope inside the handle is secure. If excessive wear is
found, see your POLARIS dealer for replacement.
