SAFETY INFORMATION
is capable of traveling further in half an hour than you
may be able to walk in a day. Use the “buddy system”.
Always ride with a friend or member of your snowmobile
club. Even then, tell someone where you are going and
the approximate time you plan to return.
- Meadows sometimes have low areas where water ac-
cumulate and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually
glare ice. Attempting 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, reduce speed by carefully
releasing the throttle.
- Never “jump” with your snowmobile.
- While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and ice
can be thrown back into the path of a following snowmo-
bile. 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 abilities to the experience of others.
- In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped
by pressing down on the emergency engine stop switch
or by pulling the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off
switch, while applying brake.
- Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
- Never run the engine in a non-ventilated area and/or if
vehicle is left unattended.
- Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery
while installed on snowmobile.
- E-TEC engines: Never attempt any fuel system or elec-
trical system maintenance or repair. Any maintenance or
repair of these systems must be performed by an autho-
rized Ski-Doo dealer.
- Never attempt any fuel system or electrical system main-
tenance or repair. Any maintenance or repair of these
systems must be performed by an authorized Ski-Doo
dealer.
- Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders
before proceeding in reverse.
