RIDING THE VEHICLE
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of other recre-
ationists or bystanders.
You are responsible for pro per operation of your vehicle as well as
training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice-
able 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 pas-
senger are reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We encourage you
to have an Annu al 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 per-
forms 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 cam paign.
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 snowm obile in a restricted
flat area until you are completely familiar with its operation and feel
comfortable that you can safely tackle a more d emanding task. Have
an enjoyable and safe ride.
