Operator Safety
Driving in Hilly Terrain
Operating in hilly terrain requires extreme caution to maintain balance
and avoid roll-over. If climbing a hill is unavoidable, keep all your
weight low and forward.
If you must cross the face of a slope, keep your weight on the uphill
side of the machine to maintain proper balance and avoid possible
roll-over.
Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to
obstacles, sharp drops, or other people or vehicles that m ay be on the
other side of the hill.
If you’re unable to continue up a hill, turn the machine downhill before
it loses momentum. If this isn’t possible, spin the track just enough to
dig in to prevent it from rolling back down t he hill. Stop the engine
and set the parking brake (if equipped). Keeping away from the
downhill side of the m achine, pull the rear of the snowmobile around
and point the front end and skis downhill. Remount the machine,
restart the engine, release the parking brake, and descend t he hill
carefully.
Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss
of balance and machine roll-over , causing serious injury or death.
Use caution and good judgement when driving in hilly terrain.
