PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n
Steering System
Manually turn the skis completely to the right and t o the left. If any
difficulty is encountered, remove any ice and snow build-up that may
be obstructing the steering linkage.
n Track
WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track i ncreases 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.
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: T rack damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor
lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
n Hood Latches
The hood of the snowmobile protects t he 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 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.
