VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION
Make sure that oil reservoir and fuel tank caps are properly
installed.
Tilt bed trailers can easily be equipped with a winch mechanism
to afford maximum safety in loading. Simple as it may seem,
never drive your snowmobile onto a tilt bed trailer or any
other kind of trailer or vehicle. Many serious accidents have
resulted from driving up and over a trailer. Anchor your vehicle
securely, front and rear, even on short hauls. Be certain all
equipment is securely fastened. Cover your snowmobile when
trailering to prevent road grime from causing damage.
Be certain your trailer meets state or provincial requirements.
Ensure the hitch and safety chains are secure and the brake,
turn indicators and clearance lights all function.
WARNING
Do not tow the vehicle facing backwards. If the vehicle is
towed facing backwards, the wind may cause damage to
the windshield or even loss of the windshield.
