RIDING THE VEHICLE
“banking” condition b eneath the track. By adopting this position
and positioning yourself as far forward as possible, weight will be
transferred to the inside ski.
On occasion, you will find that the only way to turn the vehicle about
in deep snow is to pull the snowmobile around. Do not over-exert
yourself. Get assistance . Remember to always lift using your legs
as opposed to your back.

Road Crossing
In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or
snowbank. Ch oose a place where you know you can climb without
difficulty. Use the standing position and proceed with only as much
speed needed to crest the bank. Stop completely at the top of the
bank and wait for all traffic to clear. Judge the drop to the roadway.
Cross the road at a 90° angle. If you encounter another snowbank
on the opposite side, position your feet near the rear of the vehicle.
Remember, your snowmobile is no t designed to operate on bare
pavement and steering on this type of surface is more difficult.
