INTRODUCTION

Important Notes for Owners and Drivers

After reading this manual, store it in the snowmobile for convenient ref-

erence. It should remain with the snowmobile when the snowmobile is

sold.

Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general rep-

resentations. Your model may differ.

Follow the maintenance program outlined in this manual. Preventive

maintenance ensures that critical components of the snowmobile are

inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals.

You and your dealer must complete the registration form included with

your snowmobile and forward it to us. This completed form is necessary

to ensure warranty coverage.

Protect and preserve your right to ride by joining your local trail riding

clubs.

When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined

course for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the

snowmobile before allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them

proper snowmobile courtesy, and enroll them in driver’s training and

safety courses sponsored by local or state organizations.

INTRODUCTION

Preservation of the Environment

POLARIS is committed to supporting an environmental education cam-

paign. We encourage state and provincial governments across the snow-

belt to adopt rigorous safety training programs that encourage protection

of our environment, including wildlife and vegetation.

Snowmobile clubs and other organizations are working together to pro-

tect our environment. Please support their efforts and operate your

snowmobile with consideration for the protection and preservation of

our environment.

Noise Level

One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The

Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the standard-setting body for

snowmobile development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to

prescribed sound levels.

POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE stan-

dards. Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and must

not be altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not be

welcome to non-snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to operate

your snowmobile with concern for others. We do our part by manufac-

turing quieter machines; we ask your help to further reduce the impact

of noise by operating your snowmobile safely and responsibly.

Air Pollution

POLARIS engineers continuously investigate ways to reduce emission

levels of two-stroke engines. We expect our efforts to lead to the reduc-

tion of potential air pollution.

In addition to our technological research, we encourage government

agencies, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, ecologists, and other

interested parties to work together to develop data on environmental

topics.
