Use the safety belts and grab handles.
Always switch on the rotating beacons.
Monitor the on-board instruments.
Do not exceed the snow groomer's performance limits.
Raise the attachments when turning the snow groomer on its own axis.
If the tracks start to slip, reduce the track speed and adjust to a driving speed suitable for the
ground conditions.
If a warning lamp comes on or if there are traces of oil behind the snow groomer, immediately
switch off the engine and fix the malfunction.
When using attachments, brake evenly or take corners slowly.
Do not use rear tiller or half-pipe tiller when persons are nearby.
Reduce speed when approaching people or on difficult terrain; ensure that nobody is standing
within the swivel range of the snow groomer.
If people are at risk due to moving attachments or the vehicle itself, give audible and visual warn-
ings.
Make sure that any parking space intended for the snow groomer has sufficient load-bearing ca-
pacity (e.g., garages, bridges, snow-covered car parks).
When parking the vehicle or leaving it unattended, engage the parking brake, lower the attach-
ments to the ground, and remove the ignition key.
Never leave the engine running unattended. Do not drive the snow groomer over ditches, knolls
or scarps. Injuries or mechanical damage can occur as a result.
When driving on steep ski slopes, the snow groomer may skid when braking. Maintain constant
speed or accelerate slightly to regain control of the snow groomer.
If slipping sideways, turn the snow groomer uphill and accelerate to avoid skidding. If slipping
sideways, never turn the snow groomer downhill.
Blind terrain can hide dangerous obstacles; drive slowly and extremely carefully.
Before crossing a frozen lake or waterway with the snow groomer, ensure that the load bearing
capacity of the ice is sufficient.
On steep slopes where it is impossible to stop due to the gradient, the vehicle must be driven
only if the driver is convinced there is no risk to himself or third parties. Otherwise another route
must be chosen.
