SAFETY Operator Safety The following signal words and symbols appear throughout this manual and on your vehicle. Your safety is involved when these words and symbols are used. Become familiar with their meanings before reading the manual. The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal injury hazard. WARNING A WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY Operator Safety Follow the recommended maintenance program outlined beginning on page 77 of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the snowmobile are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals. WARNING Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT drink alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while driving or riding as a passenger. They will reduce your alertness and slow your reaction time. Snowmobiles are capable of traveling at high speeds.
SAFETY Operator Safety Stay Clear of Track Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. WARNING! Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the track. Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the track. A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death.
SAFETY Operator Safety Riding Position Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider positions may vary with experience; but under many conditions, the proper position is to be seated with both feet on the running boards and both hands on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake and steering control. WARNING! Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in serious injury or death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your vehicle.
SAFETY Operator Safety Riding Apparel Helmet Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding a Polaris vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label. Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists E4 of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the 051039 distinguishing number of the country which has 0006.
SAFETY Operator Safety Rider Capacity Your snowmobile is designed for up to two riders. A decal on the console indicates that the vehicle is designed for one operator and one passenger only. WARNING! Operating improperly with a passenger could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. Control becomes more difficult with two people on board. More space is required to make turns, and longer distances are needed for stopping.
SAFETY Operator Safety Cargo Capacity See page 32 for cargo loading information. WARNING! Overloading the cargo carrier can cause loss of control resulting in severe injury or death. The maximum cargo carrier capacity is 75 lbs. (34 kg). Never exceed the cargo carrier capacity. Disabled Operators Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical skills.
SAFETY Operator Safety Excessive Speed WARNING! High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather. Always observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile operation and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. If your speed is 40 MPH (64 km/h), your snowmobile is traveling about 60 feet (18 m) per second.
SAFETY Operator Safety Driver Awareness Slow down when traveling near poles, posts, or other obstacles. Be especially alert if you’re snowmobiling after dark. Always be on the alert for wire fences. Single strands are especially dangerous, since there may be a great distance between posts. Guy wires on utility poles are also difficult to distinguish. Make sure the way is clear before crossing railroads and other roads and highways.
SAFETY Operator Safety Avalanches Snowmobilers should always be properly trained and equipped before traveling in mountainous terrain: • • • • Take an avalanche class Travel with experienced people Travel on designated trails Make sure each person is equipped with a shovel, probe and avalanche beacon. You don’t have to be snowmobiling on a slope for an avalanche to occur. Be aware that all of the snow is connected.
SAFETY Operator Safety Ice and Snow Build-up WARNING! Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your snowmobile, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of snow and ice. Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering linkage.
SAFETY Operator Safety Driving on Slippery Surfaces WARNING! Never attempt an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery surfaces. Proceed slowly and use extra caution. Driving on ice or hardpacked snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Slow down and use extra caution when operating on slippery surfaces.
SAFETY Operator Safety Drive Belt Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed. CAUTION! Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in personal injury or damage to the engine. Any servicing that requires operation without a belt must be performed by your dealer. Intake Silencer Do not operate the engine with the intake silencer or filter removed. NOTICE: Damage to the engine may occur if the intake silencer or filter are removed. Clutches Do not attempt to service the clutches.
SAFETY Operator Safety Inadequate Snow Conditions Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow cover is a requirement for operation of your snowmobile. NOTICE: Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail, track and/or engine.
SAFETY Operator Safety Driving Responsibly Every snowmobile handles differently, and even the most docile conditions may become dangerous if operators drive improperly. If you’re new to snowmobiling, acquaint yourself with the machine and with what it will and won’t do under various conditions. Even seasoned drivers should spend some time getting the feel for a machine before attempting ambitious maneuvers.

MAINTENANCE Spark Plugs A new engine can cause temporary spark plug fouling due to the preservative added during the assembly process. Avoid prolonged idle speeds, which cause plug fouling and carbonization. NOTICE: Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine damage. A spark plug with a heat range too high will always cause engine damage if the engine is operated in conditions more severe than intended for that plug. Always use the spark plugs recommended for your snowmobile.
MAINTENANCE Spark Plugs Normal Spark Plug The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few combustion deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the proper type and heat range for the engine and the service. Tip: The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body adjustments. Wet Fouled Spark Plug The wet fouled insulator tip is black.
MAINTENANCE Intake Filters The intake foam filters limit snow ingestion into the intake system. When operating in loose powder snow, check the foam filters periodically to remove any accumulation of snow. NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with the intake filters removed may cause intake icing. The result will be poor fuel economy or intake malfunction. Always reinstall the intake filters before operating the snowmobile.
MAINTENANCE Oil Lines Inspect oil line condition every 1000 miles (1600 km). Oil Filter The oil filter is located at the side of the oil tank. Have your dealer change the oil filter and bleed the system annually or every 1000 miles (1600 km). Tip: The direction of the arrows indicates the direction of flow through the filter. Exhaust System Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table beginning on page 78.
MAINTENANCE Cooling System Coolant The coolant supplied in the system is a 60/40 mixture of ethylene-glycol and distilled water. This mixture provides protection against freezing. Contact your dealer if greater protection is required. Use Premium 60/40 anti-freeze coolant, which is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/ 40% water mixture. See page 116 for the part numbers of Polaris products. Tip: Never add tap water to the cooling system.
MAINTENANCE Cooling System Coolant High Temperature Indicator Light The high temperature indicator light will illuminate when engine coolant temperature becomes too hot for safe continued operation of the engine. If you must drive your machine after the high temperature indicator light has come on, drive slowly and stop frequently to allow the engine to cool down. Driving in deep snow will also help cool the engine. See your dealer for service. Add coolant if the level is low.
MAINTENANCE Cooling System Bleeding the Cooling System CAUTION! Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never bleed the cooling system or remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. If the pressure cap needs replacement, contact your dealer for the correct part. NOTICE: If coolant flow becomes restricted or plugged, coolant loss, air lock or engine damage may result.
MAINTENANCE Brakes n Hydraulic Brake Inspection Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See page 59. Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thinner than the backing plate, approximately 1/16" (1.5 mm). A kit is available for replacing brake pads. See your dealer. WARNING! Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death. Be sure the brake pads do not drag on the disc and that brake lever travel is not excessive.
MAINTENANCE Brakes n Brake Fluid WARNING After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or serious injury. Keep the master cylinder cover free of dirt and debris.
MAINTENANCE Brakes Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System Air in the hydraulic brake system will cause spongy brake lever action. Bleed the system before operating the snowmobile. WARNING! Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of brakes, which could cause an accident and lead to serious injury or death. Never operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake lever. During the bleeding procedure, keep the brake handle as level as possible.
MAINTENANCE Lights Removing Halogen Bulbs Tip: Do not touch a halogen bulb with bare fingers. Oil from skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp.

MAINTENANCE Clutch System Drive Belt Installation 1. Drop the drive belt over the drive clutch and pull back the slack. Tip: To ensure satisfactory belt life, install belts so they operate in the same direction of rotation by positioning the identification numbers so that you can read them from the left side of the vehicle. If required, separate the sheaves as outlined in the belt removal procedures. 2.
MAINTENANCE Track Replacement When replacing the track, always install a track having the lug size recommended for your model. See your Polaris dealer. NOTICE: Installing tracks with larger lugs on machines equipped with coolers will result in damage to the cooler or tunnel. Always install a track having the lug size recommended for your model. Track Inspection WARNING! Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the machine, which could cause serious injury or death.
MAINTENANCE Track Lubrication WARNING! Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide and track guide clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of braking ability, which can result in serious injury or death. Avoid operating for extended periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for lubrication. The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for sufficient lubrication. Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication.
MAINTENANCE Track Tension WARNING! Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks and adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all moving parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the engine running. Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain correct tension and alignment.
