Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but because
of reduced visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar terrain
and be sure your lights are working. Always carry a flashlight and
spare light bulbs.
Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your
snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious accidents.
Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a face
shield.
Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such
as avalanche and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.
Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate
and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempt-
ing to turn or brake on this surface could cause your vehicle to
spin out of control. Never brake or attempt speeding or turning
on glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a condition, re-
duce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
Never “jump” with your snowmobile. This should be left to pro-
fessional stunt men. Don't show off. Be responsible.
While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition,
when “gunning” the throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an
irregular snow surface for others.
Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do
the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abil-
ities to the experience of others.
Operation
Always make a pre-start inspection BEFORE you turn on the igni-
tion.
Securely attach the tether cord to the child's clothing eyelet prior
to starting the engine.
In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by ac-
tivating the engine cut-out switch, pulling the tether cord cap or
turning off the key.
Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and
return to idle position before starting engine.
Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
