Excessive Sp eed
Observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile operation.
They’ve been established for your protection.
Always be al ert and pay attention to the trail ahead. Multiplying speed
(MPH) by 1.5 will equal the approximate number of feet per second
your machine travels. If your speed is 40 MPH, your machine is
traveling about 60 feet per second. If you look back for only two
seconds, your machine will travel about 120 feet. If your speed is 60
MPH, your machine will travel about 180 feet in two seconds.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight
to ensure proper operation, and don’t over-drive your headlight beam.
Always be able to bring your machine to a stop in the distance
illuminated by the headlight.
Rider Cap acities
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. See page 23 for
decal location.
Machines 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 machine safely.
Slow down! Control becomes more difficult with two people on board.
More space is required to make turns, and longer distances are
necessary for stopping.
High speed driving, es pecially at night, could result in serious
personal injury or death. Always reduce speed when driving at
night or in inclement weather .
