4. Planning a Safe Trip
Plan Your Trip
Failure to plan ahead before departing on a trip, as discussed in this section, can increase your
risk of damaging the Crosski, becoming stranded, or having an accident that can result in
severe injury or death.
Before departing, be sure to plan ahead and be prepared for situations you might encounter
on your outing.
Plan your route before you go. Only operate where permitted by local authorities.
Avoid routes which involve crossing frozen bodies of water unless you ave confirmed that
the ice can support the weight of Crosski, you and your cargo.
Tell someone where you plan to go (leave a float plan for water outings). Take maps and
charts for the areas where you will operate.
Ensure there is enough fuel in the tank for the planned trip.
Check the weather before departing, and be aware of changing conditions. Be prepared for
cold, heat or precipitation, depending on the forecast.
Trips on Water
Make sure that there are suitable entry and exit points to and from the water.
Always stay within sight of shore; the Crosski is not intended or equipped for operating off
shore.
Avoid rough water.
Make sure that you can complete your trip during day light. The Crosski is not equipped for
nighttime operation on water. The Crosski’s lights operate only on land.
Trips on Land
Avoid extreme conditions (for example deep mud, rugged terrain) and make sure your route
is on prepared trails that are wide enough for you to safely ride the Crosski.
Pavement
Avoid riding your Crosski on paved surfaces including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots or
streets (except for traversing as permitted by law).
If it is necessary to ride on or across a paved surface proceed slowly and with caution.
Public roads
Never operate the Crosski on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel
roads.
In many countries it is unlawful to operate ATVs on public streets, roads and highways.
