Rider Position (Forward Operation)
Your riding position and balance are the two basic principles
of making your snowmobile go where you want it to. When
turning on the side of a hill, you and your passenger must be
ready to shift body weight to help it turn in the desired direction.
Operator and passenger must never attempt this maneuvering
by placing feet outside of the vehicle. Experience will teach
you how much lean to put into turns at different speeds and
how much you will have to lean into a slope to maintain proper
balance.
Generally, the riding position for best balance and control is
sitting. However, the posting, kneeling or standing positions
are also used under certain conditions.
