DO'S
• Register your Ski-Doo snowmobile
at
your nearest Licensing Bureau, where
State or Provincial Laws require
it,
and
affix Registration
Plate
to
the vehicle.
Carry your registration certificate with
you.
It
provides proof of ownership
in
the
event that the
vehicle becomes lost or
stolen.
•
Obtain your State or Provincial booklet
on
snowmobiling.
It
gives valuable in-
formation
on
the neighbouring snow-
mobile trails and the laws governing
snowmobiling
in
your particular area.
• Always carry emergency materials
and
supplies. Your local Ski-Doo dealer
has
a Safety Centre prepared specially for
you.
• Let every riding member of your family
read the entire Owner's Manual. The
knowledge and confidence gained will
reduce the risk element.
• Observe all posted snowmobile signs.
Not
all private landowners allow snow-
mobiling
on
their property.
You
can have
just
as
much
fJ,.Jn,
even
more
so,
by
trav-
eling
elsewher~.
• Before you start out, check to
be
sure
that you and each member of your party
are equipped with sufficient warm cloth-
ing
and
safety helmets.
•
When
snowmobiling with others, limit
your actions to the experience of the
main body.
Show the inexperience driver
how to
properly handle a snowmobile.

•
Use
the 'buddy" system. Always travel
with
at
least one other snowmobile, es-
pecially
in
unfamiliar terrain or
on
trail
rides.
Even
in
snowmobiling, a pair beats
one of a kind.
• If you are planning to explore new
areas,
leave word of your approximate
whereabouts and estimated time of re-
turn with someone. Remember, a snow-
mobile can often travel farther
in
15
min-
utes than you
can
walk
in
a day.
• Always make a full stop, then look
carefully
in
both directions before cross-
ing roads.
When
traveling
in
pairs or
in
a group, have one member direct the
others across, singly.
•
Use
a rigid hitch or tow-bar when pull-
ing any sled or trailer behind your Ski-
Doo snowmobile. Rigid hitches prevent
tailgate collision when going downhill or
on
sudden stops.
• Be
extremely
careful
when
giving
children a ride.
Go
more slowly
and
check frequently. Small children, are far
safer
in
a Ski-Boose* sled than
on
the
seat of your
snowmobile.
•
When
trailering your Ski-Doo snow-
mobile, secure it solidly
at
both ends,
protect it with a bright cover (Ski-Doo
*
cover) then check that trailer hitch
and
safety chain are secure and that brake,
flashers
and
parking lights are all
in
working order.
