Polaris Sawtooth Owner's Manual. Polaris Sportsman Spare Parts Catalog. Polaris Industries is an American engineering company manufacturing motorcycles, snowmobiles , ATVs and electric cars, headquartered in Midine, Minnesota.

The history of Polaris can be traced from its founding to its founders - Edgar Hettin, his younger brother Allan and his close friend David Johnson. Given the shortage of metal during World War II, their farm machinery repair skills quickly earned the respect of regular customers.

But they deserve a place in history, working on ways to quickly get to forest hunting lodges in deep snow. These developments led to the creation of the first prototype of a snowmobile in To prove that the new type of transport is not just a toy, Edgar and three friends took a journey of km through the wild places of Alaska, demonstrating the reliability of the device. The devices became so popular that Polaris began to produce exclusively snowmobiles, and this lasted for many years until the company expanded its product line that required new skills in the development, production, distribution, marketing, new power units and technologies.

Production Continues in Roseau, Minnesota the first Polaris liquid-cooled engine was installed in the TX-L, and shortly afterwards the first snowmobile with independent suspension was built W. Hall Wendell, Jr. The company is becoming a world leader in the production of motor vehicles.
