Dear Parents:

We believe your children should have the opportunity to enjoy The

Way Out experience along with you. We’ve provided this owner’s

manual to assist you and your children in learning about the safe

operation and care of your new Polaris snowmobile. Please review the

information in this manual with any child who may operate the

snowmobile. Help your children learn to operate the snowmobile with

safety as a top priority. Help them also learn to show respect for our

environment and for the rights of others while operating the

snowmobile. Since the operator will be a newcomer to the exciting

winter sport of snowmobiling, please be sure he/she understands this

information before riding the snowmobile. Never allow a child to

operate the snowmobile without adult supervision.

The preventive maintenance program outlined in this manual is

designed to ensure that all critical components on your child’s

snowmobile are thoroughly inspected at various intervals. For safe and

enjoyable operation of the vehicle, be sure to follow all of the

instructions and recommendations in this manual. A table of

Polaris-recommended products is provided on page 84. If you have

any questions about the snowmobile, contact a Polaris dealer for

assistance.

This Owner’s Manual contains instructions for minor maintenance, but

major repairs are covered in the Polaris Service Manual and should be

performed by a Factory Certified MSD (Master Service Dealer)

Technician.

WELCOME

Dear Children:

Before you ride your new Polaris snowmobile, there are some

important things that you need to know. Your parents and Polaris want

you to enjoy riding your new snowmobile, and that’s why you need to

read and understand the information in your owner’s manual.

Ask your parents to explain anything you don’t understand, and pay

close attention to the warnings and instructions you read. Your safety

and the safety of others is the most important thing to think about at all

times.

As the driver of the snowmobile, you must learn how to keep yourself

and those around you safe while you’re riding. So read your manual,

and then enjoy riding your new Polaris snowmobile!
