INTRODUCTION

Important Notes for Owners and Drivers

After reading this manual, store it in the snowmobile for convenient

reference. It should remain with the snowmobile when the snowmobile

is sold.

Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general

representations. Your model may differ.

Follow the maintenance program outlined in this manual. Preventive

maintenance ensures that critical components of the snowmobile are

inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals.

You and your dealer must complete the registration form included with

your snowmobile and forward it to us. This completed form is necessary

to ensure warranty coverage.

Protect and preserve your right to ride by joining your local trail riding

clubs.

When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined

course for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the

snowmobile before allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them

proper snowmobile courtesy, and enroll them in driver’s training and

safety courses sponsored by local or state organizations.

INTRODUCTION

Preservation of the Environment

POLARIS is committed to supporting an environmental education

campaign. We encourage state and provincial governments across the

snowbelt to adopt rigorous safety training programs that encourage

protection of our environment, including wildlife and vegetation.

Snowmobile clubs and other organizations are working together to

protect our environment. Please support their efforts and operate your

snowmobile with consideration for the protection and preservation of

our environment.

Noise Level

One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The

Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the standard-setting body for

snowmobile development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to

prescribed sound levels.

POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE

standards. Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and

must not be altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not

be welcome to non-snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to

operate your snowmobile with concern for others. We do our part by

manufacturing quieter machines; we ask your help to further reduce the

impact of noise by operating your snowmobile safely and responsibly.

Air Pollution

POLARIS engineers continuously investigate ways to reduce emission

levels of two-stroke engines. We expect our efforts to lead to the

reduction of potential air pollution.

In addition to our technological research, we encourage government

agencies, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, ecologists, and other

interested parties to work together to develop data on environmental

topics.

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Follow the recommended maintenance program beginning on page 98

of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the snowmobile

are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals.

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. Use extra caution to

ensure operator safety. Make sure your snowmobile is in excellent operating

condition at all times. Always check major and vital safety components before

every ride.

All POLARIS snowmobiles are designed and tested to provide safe operation

when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from

operation with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power.

DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile may become aerody-

namically unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of

control may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a safety haz-

ard and lead to bodily injury.

The warranty on your entire machine is terminated if any equipment has been

added, or any modifications have been made, to increase the speed or power of

the snowmobile.

WARNING

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Stay Clear of Track

Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially

exposed for proper operation. Do not stand on the plastic flap.

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. We recommend

having your dealer perform all track service

and alignment procedures.

Stay Clear of Engine

Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Stop the engine

before opening a side panel. Always ensure that the hood and side

panels are installed and securely latched before starting the engine.

WARNING! Serious injury can occur if fingers or clothing contact the moving

parts of an engine. Always stop the engine before attempting adjustments.

Riding Position

Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.

Rider positions may vary with experience and the features available on

some snowmobiles, 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

of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the

distinguishing number of the country which has

granted approval. The approval number and serial

number will also be displayed on the label.

Eye Protection

Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection.

Whenever riding a POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles

or use a shatterproof helmet face shield. POLARIS recommends

wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing

markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye

wear is kept clean.

Clothing

Be prepared, be warm and be

comfortable when riding. Be aware of

the weather forecast, especially the

windchill, and dress accordingly. See

the chart on page 23.

WARNING! Avoid wearing loose clothing

or long scarves, which can become

entangled in moving parts and cause

serious injury. Always wear an approved

helmet and eye protection.

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Disabled Operators

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and

physical skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an

increased risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury or

death.

Survival Preparation

For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always

tell someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone. If

it isn't possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote

areas, always carry survival equipment that's appropriate to the

conditions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is not

limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a

signaling mirror, a means of building a fire and a two-way radio or

cellular telephone.

Always carry the owner’s manual on your snowmobile. For added

protection, purchase and carry the following items on your snowmobile

as well:

• Spare Drive Belt • Winter Survival Kit

• Extra Set of Spark Plugs • Trail Map

• Tow Rope • First Aid Kit

• Extra Oil • Tool Kit

• Fuel Deicer

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Rider Capacity

Some POLARIS snowmobiles are designed for a single rider only, while

some are designed for up to two riders. A safety label on the vehicle

indicates whether the vehicle is designed for a single rider or for two

riders.

Driving With a Passenger

1. Do not carry a passenger until

you have at least two hours of

driving experience with this

vehicle.

2. Allow a passenger to ride only

on models equipped with a

passenger seat.

3. Perform the suspension

adjustments required due to

extra rider weight.

4. Make sure any passenger is tall

enough to comfortably and

safely reach the hand holds and

running boards/footrests.

5. Make sure both driver and passenger are wearing appropriate riding

gear, including an approved helmet.

6. Perform the recommended pre-ride inspections. See page 76.

7. Lock the parking brake when loading a passenger. Always make

sure the brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless

whenever a passenger mounts or dismounts. Unlock the parking

brake before operating.

8. Allow a passenger to ride only in the approved passenger seat.

9. Never carry more than one passenger.

10. Slow down! Control may be more difficult with a passenger on

board. Allow more time and distance for braking. Reduce speed

when turning.

11. Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability.

Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a

passenger to fall from the vehicle.

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Driving With a Passenger

12. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both

feet on the running boards/footrests and both hands on the passenger

hand holds at all times. The passenger should never hold on to the

operator. Never secure a passenger to the vehicle or to the operator

with a belt, rope or similar device.

13. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of “active

riding.” When turning or performing maneuvers, a passenger should

shift body weight in the same manner in which the driver shifts

body weight. For example, the passenger should lean to the inside of

a turn along with the driver.

14. Make sure your passenger has read and understands the instructions

and warnings in this manual.

15. Never remove your hands from the handlebars while operating, and

always keep both feet on the running boards/footrests.

Passenger’s Responsibilities

1. Read and understand this owner’s manual. Review all warnings and

labels.

2. Always remain seated in the passenger seat and facing forward,

with hands grasping the passenger hand holds and both feet placed

rmly on the running boards/footrests.

3. Tell the driver to slow down or stop if you are uncomfortable. Do

not continue to ride on the vehicle if you cannot comfortably follow

all instructions in this manual.

4. Always use an approved helmet and protective gear when riding.

5. During turns and maneuvers, shift your body weight in the same

manner in which the driver shifts body weight.

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. If you look back for only two seconds,

your snowmobile will travel about 120 feet (36 m). If your speed is 60

MPH (96 km/h), your snowmobile will travel about 180 feet (55 m) in

two seconds.

Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight

to ensure proper operation, and don’t over-drive your headlight beam.

Always be able to bring your snowmobile to a stop in the distance

illuminated by the headlight.

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. The

noise of your snowmobile will drown out the

sound of approaching vehicles. Look ahead,

behind, and to both sides before turning or

crossing railroad tracks or highways. Steep

embankments may also hide your view.

Always leave yourself a way out.

Variances in snow depth and/or water currents may result in uneven ice

thickness. You may drown if you break through the ice. Never travel on

frozen bodies of water unless you have first verified that the ice is

sufficiently thick to support the weight and moving force of the

snowmobile, you and your cargo, together with any other vehicles in

your party. Always check with local authorities and residents to confirm

ice conditions and thickness over your entire route. Snowmobile

operators assume all risk associated with ice conditions on frozen bodies

of water.

When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined

course for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the

snowmobile before allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them

proper snowmobile courtesy, and enroll them in driver's training and

safety courses.

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. You may be riding on a flat

slope or snow covered road, but if the snowpack above is unstable

enough you can trigger an avalanche on a steeper slope above you.

Always be aware of snow conditions above you as you travel in

mountainous terrain.

Before riding in mountainous terrain, call or log on to your local

avalanche advisory to get current weather and snow stability

information.

For more information about avalanche training and avalanche

conditions, contact local law enforcement in your area, or visit the

American and Canadian online avalanche centers at

www.avalanche.org.

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.

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 hard-

packed 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.

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.

WARNING! Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the

slide rail and track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can

result in serious injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to

allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid

operating for prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

Operating in Deep Snow

If the snowmobile becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area

of snow, then step down the snow in front of the snowmobile so that

when the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and

over the snow.

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Driving Downhill

When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snowmobile

and reduce your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep

the clutch engaged, allowing the engine's compression to help slow the

snowmobile and keep it from rolling freely downhill.

WARNING! When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding

the brakes may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake

failure. Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also

cause an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of

brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.

Driving in Hilly Terrain

WARNING! Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of

balance and snowmobile rollover, causing serious injury or death. Use caution

and good judgement when driving in hilly terrain.

Use extra caution when operating in hilly terrain. If climbing a hill is

unavoidable, keep your weight low and forward. If you must cross the

face of a slope, keep your weight on the uphill side of the snowmobile to

maintain proper balance and avoid possible roll-over.

Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to

obstacles, sharp drops or other people or vehicles that may be on the

other side of the hill.

If you’re unable to continue up a hill, turn the snowmobile downhill

before it loses momentum. If this isn't possible, spin the track just

enough to dig in to prevent it from rolling back down the hill. Stop the

engine and set the parking brake (if equipped). Keeping away from the

downhill side of the snowmobile, pull the rear of the snowmobile

around and point the front end and skis downhill. Remount the

snowmobile, restart the engine, release the parking brake, and descend

the hill carefully.

SAFETY

Operator Safety

Drive Belt

Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed.

Any servicing that requires operation without a belt must be performed

by your dealer.

NOTICE: Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in injury or

damage to the engine.

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.

All clutch service must be performed by your dealer. The clutch is a

complex mechanism that rotates at high speeds. Each clutch is

dynamically balanced before installation. Any tampering may disrupt

this precision balancing and create an unstable condition.

Cold Weather Drive-Away

Whenever your snowmobile has been parked for a length of time,

especially overnight, always make sure the skis and track are loosened

from ice and snow before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with

enough authority to put the snowmobile into motion, but always operate

within safety limits and, on 2-up machines, with respect for a passenger.

Maneuverability

While much control and maneuverability is achieved through the

steering system and skis, maximum control is achieved by the shifting

of your body weight. Maneuverability will change for lighter operators

or snowmobiles designed to carry a load or a passenger.

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 snowmobile

and with what it will and won't do under various conditions. Even

seasoned drivers should spend some time getting the feel for a

snowmobile before attempting ambitious maneuvers.

• A snowmobile depends on the rider’s body position for proper

balance in executing turns, traversing hills, etc. Always start on a

smooth, level area to begin building your operating experience.

• Before allowing someone else to use your snowmobile, know the

extent of their operating skills. Check to see if they've taken a

snowmobile safety course and have an operator's certificate. For their

protection, as well as yours, make sure they take a snowmobile safety

course. Everyone can benefit from the course.

• Don't “jump” your snowmobile over large drifts or similar terrain.

Jumping may injure your back because of spinal compression that

could occur when the snowmobile impacts the ground. The seat and

suspension of your snowmobile have been designed to provide

protection under normal riding conditions. Your snowmobile is not

intended for this kind of use.

• Be courteous to oncoming traffic by dimming your headlights and

reducing your speed.

• When traveling in a group of snowmobiles, don't tailgate (follow too

closely). Leave enough distance between snowmobiles to provide

ample stopping room and to provide protection from flying snow and

debris. Allow even more distance when driving on slippery surfaces

or when driving in darkness or other low visibility conditions. Be

aware of any snowmobile traffic around your vehicle. Drive

defensively to avoid accidents.

• Remove the key from the ignition when you leave the snowmobile

unattended.

Operation Warning

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.

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 engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper

operation. Make sure hood and side panels are latched. Be seated and

in position to control the vehicle.

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

refueling.

FEATURES

Load Shed Relay High RPM/Voltage

Load shed relay provides power to the following components.

• High beam switch/LED array

• Battery charge relay

• Hand warmers

• Thumb warmer

The ECU will close the load shed relay when engine speed exceeds

1500 RPM and chassis voltage exceeds 12.8 VDC.

If engine speed falls below 1500 RPM or if chassis voltage falls below

12 VDC, the ECU will open the relay and will not close it again until

engine speed exceeds 2200 RPM and chassis voltage exceeds 12.8

VDC.

FEATURES

Battery Charge Relay Control

Some models are equipped with a battery. The battery provides power

for only two purposes:

• Engaging the electric starter motor to start the engine

• Powering the Polaris Interactive Digital Display (IDD) with the

ignition key when the engine is off

The engine management system turns on the battery charge relay and

charges the battery only when the following conditions are met:

• The load shed relay is turned on by the engine management system

• Engine speed exceeds 2500 RPM

• Chassis DC voltage exceeds 13 volts

FEATURES

FEATURES

Detonation Elimination Technology (DET)

When DET senses and takes action to reduce detonation, the driver may

notice a drop in engine RPM and/or reduced performance.

The ECU will illuminate the check engine LED and display “dET” on

the LCD screen whenever the DET system is active.

If the ECU determines the detonation cannot be controlled by normal

means, and further operation may cause engine damage, the check

engine LED will flash, the instrument clusters will display “dET” and

the ECU will either limit the maximum engine speed or turn off the

engine.

If the ECU limits RPM, the limit will remain active until the driver stops

and restarts the engine.

DETONATION PROTECTION MODES

This engine feature causes the ECU to shut down the engine when

engine temperature reaches 120° F (50° C) and there is no throttle lever

input for five minutes.

NOTE: If equipped with an IDD, the gauge will remain on because the key is in

the ON position.

Security System (Ignition Lock System)

Your snowmobile has an optional security function that can be activated

by an authorized POLARIS dealer. If you have this feature activated,

you can lock the ignition to prevent unauthorized use when leaving the

snowmobile unattended. A locked system will limit engine speed to

3000 RPM, which prevents clutch engagement, and the snowmobile

will not move when throttle is applied.

If you wish to use this system, see page 47 for security system activation

and operating instructions (standard instrument cluster). If your model is

equipped with the Interactive Digital Display (IDD), please see the IDD

Owner’s Manual provided with your snowmobile.

FEATURES
