SAFETY
Operator Safety
Driving Responsibly
Every snowmobile handles differently, and even the most docile condi-
tions may become dangerous if operators drive improperly. If you’re
new to snowmobiling, acquaint yourself with the machine and with
what it will and won’t do under various conditions. Even seasoned driv-
ers should spend some time getting the feel for a machine before
attempting ambitious maneuvers.
A snowmobile depends on the riders body position for proper bal-
ance in executing turns, traversing hills, etc. Always start on a
smooth, level area to begin building your operating experience.
Before allowing someone else to use your snowmobile, know the
extent of their operating skills. Check to see if they’ve taken a snow-
mobile safety course and have an operators certificate. For their pro-
tection, as well as yours, make sure they take a snowmobile safety
course. Everyone can benefit from the course.
Don’t “jump” your snowmobile. Jumping may injure your back
because of spinal compression. The seat and suspension of your
snowmobile have been designed to provide protection under normal
riding conditions. Your snowmobile is not intended for this kind of
use.
Be courteous to oncoming traffic by dimming your headlights and
reducing your speed.
When traveling in a group of snowmobiles, don’t tailgate (follow too
closely). Leave enough distance between snowmobiles to provide
ample stopping room and to provide protection from flying snow and
debris. Allow even more distance when driving on slippery surfaces
or when driving in darkness or other low visibility conditions. Be
aware of any snowmobile traffic around your vehicle. Drive defen-
sively to avoid accidents.
Remove the key from the ignition when you leave the snowmobile
unattended.
