PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
Steering System
WARNING! Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your
snowmobile, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free
of snow and ice.
Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice
and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty
is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing
the steering linkage.
Track
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication
conditions voids the track warranty.
WARNING! Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the
possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious
injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
WARNING! Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of
track damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time
in marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges,
and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include
frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails and no-snow conditions.
Side Panel Fasteners
The side panels of the snowmobile protect the operator from moving
parts. Never operate the engine with the side panels open or removed.
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.
