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.
