SAFETY

Safety Decals and Locations

Operation Warning

An operation warning decal is present on the console of all POLARIS 
snowmobiles:

WARNING

• To avoid serious injury or death, read and understand all warnings and the 

Owner’s Manual before operation. If manual is missing, contact a POLARIS 
dealer for a replacement.

• This vehicle is capable of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven terrain can 

cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme caution when 
operating in unfamiliar terrain.

• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can result in 

insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid unexpected 
obstacles, or to stop safely.

• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.

• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located on the top 

of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then pull the brake lever 
to stop.

• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate clothing 

while operating this vehicle.

• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age 

requirements.

• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only), reduce speed 

and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger reduces your 
ability to control the vehicle.

• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, steering 

and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and allow extra space 
to turn or stop.

• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you should have 

a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See Owner’s Manual for 
proper use of traction products.

• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of braking 

ability.

• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave brake 

engaged for more than five minutes.

• Before starting the engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper 

operation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in position to control the 
vehicle.

Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when refueling.
