MAINTENANCE
Hood/Side Panel
The hood and side panels of the
snowmobile protect the
operator from moving parts.
Never operate a snowmobile
with the hood or side panels
open or removed. Always
ensure that the hood and side
panels are securely in place
before starting the engine.
To open a side panel, rotate the
two 1/4-turn fasteners at the
upper edges of the side panel.
Release the side panel strap at
the lower edge of the panel.
To remove an open side panel, pull the panel outward to release the tabs
at the lower edge of the panel.
Removing the hood is not recommended. Any service requiring the
removal of the hood should be performed by an authorized POLARIS
dealer.
