SAFETY INFORMATION
- Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol. They slow
reaction time and impair judgement.
- Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public
streets, roads or highways.
- Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted,
reduce speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate
or turn on paving. When crossing a road, make a full stop,
then look carefully in both directions before crossing at a
90° angle. Be wary of parked vehicles.
- 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.
- Never remove any original equipment from your snowmo-
bile. Each vehicle has many built in safety features. Such
features include various guards and consoles, plus reflec-
tive materials and safety labels.
- Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your atten-
tion from driving. If you want to truly appreciate winter's
scenery, stop your snowmobile on the side of the trail so
that you don't become a hazard to others.
- 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. This also applies to your passenger.
- Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails,
such as avalanche and other natural or man made haz-
ards or obstacles.
- Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the
snowmobile in front of you slows for any reason, its op-
erator and passenger could be harmed through your ne-
glect. Maintain a safe stopping distance between you and
the snowmobile in front of you. Depending on the terrain
condition, stopping may require a little more space than
you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driving.
- Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be
hazardous. You could run out of fuel, have an accident, or
damage your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile
