32 SAFETY INFORMATION
– Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before
proceeding in reverse.
– BRP recommends sitting on your snowmobile when operating in
reverse.
– Avoid standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle
lever while operating in reverse, causing an unexpected accelera-
tion. Unexpected acceleration when snowmobile operates in re-
verse can cause a loss of control.
Fast reverse while turning, could result in loss of stability and control.

Even when a passenger is allowed, this person must be physically fit
for snowmobiling.
Any passenger must always be able to firmly lay his feet on the footr-
ests and keep his hands on the handholds or seat strap when seated.
Respecting those physical criteria is important to ensure that the pas-
senger is stable and to reduce the risks of ejection. Falls can result in
severe injury or death.
The operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his passenger
and should inform the passenger about snowmobiling basics.
Before riding the vehicle, adjust suspension according to weight. Refer
to
Tune Your Ride
subsection for more details.
Ask your passenger to inform you to slowdown or stop immediately if
he feels uncomfortable or insecure during the ride.
When going over bumps, riders(s) may raise their body slightly off the
seat to absorb the shocks with their legs.
An unforeseen bump can leave you passenger-less. Remind your
passenger to lean into the turn with you, without causing the vehicle to
topple. Be extremely careful, go more slowly and check the passenger
frequently. Keep a watchful eye on your passenger while riding.
