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.

Respect your snowmobile;

respect the environment;

and you will earn

the respect of everyone.

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.

INTRODUCTION

Vehicle Identification Numbers

The tunnel vehicle identification number (VIN) and engine serial

number are important for model identification when registering your

snowmobile, when obtaining insurance, and when ordering

replacement parts. In the event your snowmobile is stolen, these

numbers are essential to its recovery and identification.

Remove the spare key and store it in a safe place. Your key can be

duplicated only by mating a Polaris key blank with one of your

existing keys. If both keys are lost, the ignition switch must be

replaced. See your Polaris dealer.

NOTE: Record your snowmobile’s ID numbers and key number in

the spaces provided.
