shift forward against throttle lever

an unexpected acceleration.

Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only, others can allow one
passenger only, and others can allow
up to two passengers. Refer to the
indications on the vehicles to know if
any particular snowmobile can accom-
modate passengers or not, and if so,
how many. Always respect those indi-
