Operator Safety Rider Capacity SAFETY 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. Driving 2-Up - Some Polaris snowmobiles are designed for up to two riders. A decal on the hood of these models indicates that the vehicle is designed for one operator and one passenger only. 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. 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 laws governing snowmobile operation and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. Multiplying speed (MPH) by 1.5 will equal the approximate number of feet per second your machine travels. If your speed is 40 MPH, your machine is traveling about 60 feet per second. If you look back for only two seconds, your machine will travel about 120 feet. If your speed is 60 MPH, your machine will travel about 180 feet 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 machine to a stop in the distance illuminated by the headlight. 13
