Operator Safety
WARNING
Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT
drink alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while
driving. They will reduce your alertness and slow your reaction
time. In most states and provinces, it’s prohibited by law to
drive while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
Polaris produces high performance snowmobiles capable of
traveling at high speeds. Extra caution must be observed to
ensure operator safety. Make sure your snowmobile is in
excellent operating condition at all times. We strongly
recommend that the operator check major and vital safety
components before every ride.
All Polaris snowmobiles are designed and tested to provide
safe operation when used as directed. Failure of critical
machine components may result from operation with any
modifications, especially those that increase speed or power.
DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile may
become aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than those
for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher
speeds. Modifications may also create a safety hazard and
lead to bodily injury.
The warranty on your entire machine is terminated
if any
equipment has been added, or any modifications have been
made, to increase the speed or power of the snowmobile.
