Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by-
standers.
Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers per-
formed by professional riders under ideal and/or controlled condi-
tions. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they
are beyond your level of riding ability.
Never ride after consuming drugs or alcohol or if you feel tired or
ill. Operate your snowm obile prudently.
Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,
roads or highways.
Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but because
of reduced visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar terrain
and be sure your lights are workin g. Always carry a flashlight and
spare light bulbs.
Na ture is wonderful but don't let it distract your attentio n f rom
driving. If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your
snow mob ile o n th e side o f the trail s o that
you don't become a
h azard to others.
Fences represent a very serious thr eat for both you and your
snowmobile. G ive a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
Hidd en wires un se en from a distance can cause serious accid ents.
Always wear an approved saf ety helmet, eye prot ectio n and a face
shield. This also applies to your passenger.
Be aware o f inherent risks associated w ith riding off trails, su ch
as avalanche and other natural o r man made hazards or obstacles.
Avoid road traveling. If you m ust do so, and it is permitted, re-
duce speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn
on paving. When crossing a road, make a full stop, then look care-
fully in both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be wary of
parked vehicles.
Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snow-
mobile in front of you sl ows for any reason, its driver and pas-
senger could be harmed through your neglect. M aintain a safe
stopping distance between you and the snowm obile in front of
you. Depending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a
little more space than you think. P lay it safe. Be prepared to use
evasive driving.
