SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTROLLED DRIVING
Acceleration
Using studs on the track will allow your sled to accelerate
better on packed snow and ice but will have no noticeable
effect on soft snow. This can cause sudden variations in
traction under certain conditions.
WARNING
To prevent surprises that could lead to a loss of control of
the snowmobile:
- Always go easy on the throttle.
- NEVER try to spin the track to make the rear of the
snowmobile skid.
This could cause debris or ice to be thrown violently back-
wards, possibly injuring others nearby or on snowmobiles
behind you.
Braking
As in the case of acceleration, using studs on the track will
give you better braking capacity on packed snow or ice but will
have no noticeable effect on soft snow. Braking may thus vary
suddenly under certain conditions. Be sure to use restraint
