MAINTENANCE

Hood/Side Panel

The hood and side panels of the 
snowmobile protect the operator 
from moving parts. Never oper-
ate 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.
