SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:
– Always make a pre-ride inspection BEFORE you start the engine.
– Throttle m echanism should be checked for free movement and return to idle po-
sition before starting engine.
– Always attach tether cord eyelet to clothing before starting the engine.
– Never operate the engine without belt guard and brake disk guard securely in-
stalled or, with hood or side panels opened or removed. Never run the engine
without drive belt installed. Running an unloaded engine such as without drive
belt or with track raised, can be dangerous.
– Always engage parking brake before starting the engine.
– Everyone is a beginner the first time he sits behind the controls of a snowmobile
regardless of previous experience in driv ing any other type of vehicle. The safe
use of your snowmobile depends on many conditions such as visibility, speed,
weather, environment, traffic, vehicle condition and the condition of the opera-
tor.
– Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snowmobile. Study your
Operator's G uide pay ing particular attention to cautions and w a rnings. Join
your local snowmobile club: its social activities and trail systems are planned
for both fun and safety. Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer,
friend, fellow club m ember or enroll in your state or provincial safety training
program.
– Any ne w o perator must rea d and understand all safety labels on the snowmo-
bile, the Operator's Guide before operating the snowmobile. Only allow a new
operator to operate the snow mobile in a restricted flat area, at least until he is
comple tely familiar with its operation . If sno w mobile op erator's training cours e
is offered in your area, have him enroll.
– The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed that of other
snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by novice or inexperienced
operators is not recommended.
– Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow conditions. Not all
models perform the same in similar conditions. Always consult your snowmo-
bile dealer when selecting the snowmobile model f or your particular needs and
uses.
– Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator, passenger or bystander
if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which are beyond the operator's,
passenger's or snowmobile's capabilities or intended use.
– BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age. Verify also your
local laws for age and training requirements.
– The novice operator should becom e familiar with the sn owmobile through prac-
tice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing far afield.
– It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his experience, of the
handling characteristics of this snowmobile. The snowmobile configuration,
such as width, track length and suspension type vary from a model to another
and the handling is greatly influenced by these characteristics.
