CONTROLLED DRIVING
Acceleration
Using studs o n the track will allow your
sled to accelerate better on packed
snow and ice but will have no notice-
able effect on soft snow. This can
cause sudden variations in traction
under certain conditions.
WARNING
To prevent surprises that could
lead to a loss of control of the
snowmobile:
– Always go easy on the throttl e.
– NEVER try to s pin the track to
make the rear of the snowmo-
bile skid.
This could cause debris or ice to be
thrown violently backwards, pos-
sibly injuring others nearby or on
snowmobiles behind you.
Braking
As in the case o f accelera tion, u sing
studs on the track will give you better
braking capacity on packed snow or
ice but will have no noticeable effect
on soft snow. Braking may thus vary
suddenly u nder certain conditions.
Be sure to use restraint in braking to
keep from blocking the track in order to
avoid surprises that could lead to a loss
of control.
