conditions. Always consult your snowmobile dealer when
selecting the snowmobile model for your particular needs
and uses.
- Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator,
passenger or bystander if the snowmobile is used in risky
conditions which are beyond the operator's, passenger's
or snowmobile's capabilities or intended use.
- BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old
of age. Verify also your local laws for age and training
requirements.
- It is very important to inform any operator, regardless
of his experience, of the handling characteristics of this
snowmobile. The snowmobile configuration, such as ski
stance, ski type, suspension type, track length, width and
type vary from a model to another. The snowmobile han-
dling is greatly influenced by these characteristics.
- The novice operator should become familiar with the
snowmobile through practice on a level area at slow
speeds before venturing far afield.
- Know your local laws. Federal, state, provincial and lo-
cal government agencies have enacted laws and regu-
lations pertaining to the safe use and operation of snow-
mobiles. It is your responsibility as a snowmobiler to learn
and obey these laws and regulations. Respect and obser-
vance will result in safer snowmobiling for all. Be aware of
the liability property damages and insurance laws regard-
ing your equipment.
- Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react
or respond quickly enough to the unexpected. Always ride
at a speed which is suitable to the trail, weather condi-
tions and your own ability. Know your local rules. Speed
limit may be in effect and meant to be observed.
- Always keep right hand side of the trail.
- Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and
bystanders.
- Remember, promotional material may show risky maneu-
vers performed by professional riders under ideal and/or
controlled conditions. You should never attempt any such
risky maneuvers if they are beyond your level of riding
ability.
