FEATURES AND CONTROLS Polaris DRAGON Ignition System (600 IQ Racer) Your snowmobile is equipped with an ignition system feature that improves competition performance by increasing exhaust system temperature. The DRAGON Ignition System provides maximum "holeshot" performance for racing applications. WARNING DRAGON mode increases the exhaust system temperature and causes engine misfire and backfire. Flammable materials and vapors may ignite and result in fire and explosion, which may cause serious injury, death or property damage. Read the Owner's Manual. Always follow all instructions and warnings. DRAGON Mode Facts S S S S S S S S The DRAGON Ignition System is intended for competition use on closed courses by experienced riders only. There is no benefit to using DRAGON mode for normal trail riding. Unnecessary, extended or excessive use of DRAGON mode can result in severe engine damage, which is excluded from Polaris warranty coverage. DRAGON mode usually heats up the exhaust system within 5 to 20 seconds, depending upon the initial temperature of the exhaust system. Two different sounds may be heard when using DRAGON mode. One sound is an erratic misfire that may be heard when the exhaust system is heating up. The other sound is a consistent misfire (with a slight rise in engine RPM) when the exhaust system is at target operating temperature. DRAGON mode maintains the engine speed between 4500 and 5100 RPM. Be sure that the clutch engages at 5300 RPM or above to prevent forward creep of the vehicle. See your dealer if the clutch needs adjustment. Please refer to the Polaris jetting chart and use the recommended jet for current temperatures as this system is sensitive to jet changes. 26
