SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– M eadow s sometimes have low areas where water accumulate and freezes
over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempting to turn or brake on
this surface could cause your vehicle to spin out of control. Never brake or

condition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
– Never “jump” with your snowmobile.

back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition, when “gunning” the
throttle, the ve hicle digs into and leav es an irregular snow surface for others.
– Riding in a group is both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake others
