SAFETY INFORMATION
RIDING THE VEHICLE
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of other
recreationists or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as
well as training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There
may be noticeable handling and performance differences from
one snowmobile to the other.
A snowmobile is relatively simple to operate but like any other
vehicle or mechanical equipment, it can be hazardous if you
or a passenger are reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We
encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your
snowmobile. Please contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer
for further details. Though not required, it is recommended
that an authorized Ski-Doo dealer performs the preseason
preparation of your snowmobile. Each visit to your authorized
Ski-Doo dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer to verify if
your snowmobile is included in any safety campaign. We also
urge you to visit your authorized Ski-Doo dealer in a timely
manner if you become aware of any safety related campaigns.
See an authorized Ski-Doo dealer for available accessories
you may require.
Before venturing on the trails, operate the snowmobile in a
restricted flat area until you are completely familiar with its
operation and feel comfortable that you can safely tackle a
more demanding task. Have an enjoyable and safe ride.

How to Ride
Riding Gear
Proper snowmobile clothing should be worn. It should be
comfortable and not too tight. Always check the weather
forecast before going on a ride. Dress for the coldest weather
expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin also provides a
good insulation.
Wear an approved helmet at all times for safety and comfort.
They provide both warmth and reduce injury. A stocking type
cap, balaclava and face mask should always be carried or
worn. Goggles or a face shield that attach to the helmet are
indispensable.
