Hood/Side Panel
The hood and side panels of the snowmobile protect the operator from moving parts. Never operate a snowmobile with the hood or side panels open or removed. Always ensure that the hood and side panels are securely in place before starting the engine.
To open a side panel, rotate the two 1/4-turn fasteners at the upper edges of the side panel. Release the side panel strap at the lower edge of the panel.
To remove an open side panel, pull the panel outward to release the tabs at the lower edge of the panel.
Removing the hood is not recommended. Any service requiring the removal of the hood should be performed by an authorized POLARIS dealer, or equivalent person.
