2002 Polaris Universal Snowmobile Owners Manual - Page 26

SAFETY Operator Safety Your Polaris snowmobile is a well-engineered and well-constructed recreational vehicle. Follow the recommended maintenance program outlined beginning on page 96 of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the snowmobile are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals. Driving 1-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for a single rider only. A decal on the console of these models indicates single rider operation. See page 30 for decal location. Driving 2-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for two riders. A decal on the hood of these models indicates that the vehicle is designed for one operator and one passenger only. See page 30 for decal location. Machines designed for two riders should never be operated with more than two people on board. When traveling with a passenger, it's the driver's responsibility to operate the machine safely. Slow down! Control becomes more difficult with two people on board. More space is required to make turns, and longer distances are necessary for stopping. 24
