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.
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.
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.

Disabled Operators
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and
physical skills.
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.
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.
