Sitting
Feet on the running boards, body mid-
way back on seat is an ideal position
when operating the snowmobile over
familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and
hips should remain flexible to absorb
shocks.
Posting
A semi-sitting position with the body
off the seat and the feet under the
body i n a sort of squatting posture,
thus allowing the legs to absorb the
shocks when traveling over uneven
terrain. Avoid abrupt stops.
Kneeling
This position is achie ved by placin g
one foot firmly on the running board
and the opposite knee on the seat.
Avoid abrupt stops.
Standing
Place both f eet on t he running b oards.
Knees should be flexed to absorb the
shock from surface bumps. This is
an effective pos ition to see better an d
to shift weight as conditions dictate.
Avoid abrupt stop.
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only, others can allow one
passenger only, and others can allow
up to two passengers. Refer to the
indications on the vehicles to know if
any particular snowm obile can a ccom-
modate passengers or not, and if so,
how many. Always respect those indi-
cations. Overloading is dangerous be-
cause snowmobiles are not designed
for it.
