Snowmobile Polaris 120. Instruction - part 8

 

 

28

ADULT SECTION

Pre-Ride Check

n

Inspect the track

Driving for extended periods of time with marginal lubrication could 

severely damage the track. Driving on icy trails or driving when there is 

little or no snow are two examples of situations that would provide mar-

ginal lubrication and are not recommended. Do not operate the snowmo-

bile with a damaged track.

NOTE:

Track damage or failure caused by operation under poor lubrication 

conditions will void the track warranty.

WARNING

Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track will increase the possibility of 

additional track damage and/or failure. This could cause loss of control, result-

ing in severe injury or death. Always inspect for damage before using the 

snowmobile.

Do not carry passengers

This snowmobile is designed for a single operator. 

n

Do not operate with intake silencer removed

n

Stay clear of track

n

Do not operate with drive chain guard removed

CAUTION

If the engine is operated with the intake silencer removed, damage to the 

engine may occur. Do not operate the engine with the intake silencer 

removed.

WARNING

During warm-up and operation, stand clear of the rotating track. Entanglement 

and serious injury or death may result. Use just enough throttle to rotate the 

track and warm up the engine.

WARNING

The drive chain guard is designed to protect the operator from metal parts in 

the event of a drive chain failure. Although the chance of failure is extremely 

remote, do not defeat the purpose of the guard by removing it. It is provided 

for the safety of the child.

exhaust parts after the engine has been running.

WARNING

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

cal skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehi-

in serious injury or death.

ADULT SECTION

Operation Warnings

n

Check brake lever travel

Depress the brake lever fully. 

Measure the clearance between 

the lever and brake block. Clear-

ance should be no more than 3/4" 

(1.9 cm).
Excessive travel indicates a need 

to adjust the brake cable. Refer to 

the mechanical brake adjustment 

information on page 56.

n

Secure the hood

The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving and hot 

parts as well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions. 

Never operate a snowmobile with the hood open or removed.

n

Check lights

Start the engine and ensure that both the headlight and taillight operate.
