PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n
Check for Proper Operation of Steering System
Manually turn the skis completely to the right and t o the left. If any
difficulty is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be
obstructing the steering linkage. Make sure all greasable components
are properly lubricated.
n Track Inspection
WARNING
Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle. Operating
the s nowmobile with a damaged track increases the possibility of track
failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or
death.
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.
NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor
lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
n Check Hood Latches
The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving parts
as well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions. Under
no circumstances should your snowmobile be operated with the hood
open or removed. Always ensure that the hood straps are in good
condition and that the latches are securely in place before operating the
snowmobile.
n Check 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.
