OPERATION
Daily Storage
At the end of each ride, park the snowmobile
on a level surface and s upport it at the rear
with an appropriate track stand. The track
should be suspended approximately 4″
(10 cm) off the ground.
Remove the key and cover the machine.
NOTE: Polaris has accessory covers
and track stands available to
fit all models. See your dealer
for more information.
Towing
For your safety, do not attempt to using the tow hitch until you’ve read
the following warnings and understand the proper hitch functions.
WARNING
Objects towed with a rope have no braking power and can easily
collide with the rear of the snowmobile or other objects, resulting
in serious injury or death. DO NOT tow toboggans, sleds,
saucers, or any type of vehicle with a rope. Only a stiff metal
pole connecting the towed object and the tow hitch on the
snowmobile should be used. If passengers are to be towed on a
toboggan or sled, make sure the pole i s at least four feet (1.2
meters) long to prevent any possibility of contact between the
snowmobile’s track and a person riding in the towed object.
Braking distances increase when towing loads. Slow down to
maintain control of the snowmobile.
If the snowmobile becomes inoperable and must be towed, and if it
isn’t possible to use a rigid tow bar, attach the t ow rope to the ski
spindles (not to the ski loops) to prevent damage to the steering
components. Remove the drive belt before towing, and have a rider on
the towed snowmobile to operate the brake and steering when
necessary.
CAUTION
Towing a disabled snowmobile with the drive belt in place can
result in serious damage to the engine and drive system. Always
remove the drive belt from a disabled snowmobile before towing.
