RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System FEATURES The RIDER SELECT adjustable steering system allows you to adjust the handlebar position to fit your style of riding. Some models have five (5) adjustment positions. Other models have seven (7) positions. WARNING If your snowmobile has five adjustment positions, do not remove the RIDER SELECT lockout. Your Polaris snowmobile has been engineered for this range of adjustability. Removing this lockout and using RIDER SELECT position 6 or 7 will result in the handlebars and brake lever contacting other components and interfering with steering and braking. This could lead to loss of control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that the handlebars and brake lever do not contact any other snowmobile components at any steering position AND at any RIDER SELECT position. Do not use RIDER SELECT positions 6 or 7 unless riding conditions require it. Operation in positions 6 or 7 can reduce vehicle handling for other types of riding and result in serious injury or death.

FEATURES
RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System
The RIDER SELECT adjustable steering system allows you to adjust
the handlebar position to fit your style of riding. Some models have
five (5) adjustment positions. Other models have seven (7) positions.
WARNING
If your snowmobile has five adjustment positions, do not remove
the RIDER SELECT lockout. Your Polaris snowmobile has been
engineered for this range of adjustability. Removing this lockout
and using RIDER SELECT position 6 or 7 will result in the
handlebars and brake lever contacting other components and
interfering with steering and braking. This could lead to loss of
control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that
the handlebars and brake lever do not contact any other
snowmobile components at any steering position AND at any
RIDER SELECT position.
Do not use RIDER SELECT positions 6 or 7 unless riding
conditions require it. Operation in positions 6 or 7 can reduce
vehicle handling for other types of riding and result in serious
injury or death.
