IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES
Training
Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snowmo-
bile. Study your Operator's Guide paying particular attention to
cautions and warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its so-
cial activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and safety.
Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer, friend, fel-
low club member or enroll in your state or provincial safety training
program.
Always show a new operator how to start and stop the vehicle.
Indicate the correct riding positions and, above all else, only allow
him to operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area — at least
until he is completely familiar with its operation. If there is a local
snowmobile operator's training course existing, have him enroll.
Performance
The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by
novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.
Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow condi-
tions. Not all models perform the same in similar conditions. Al-
ways consult your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snow-
mobile model for your particular needs and uses.
Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which
are beyond the driver's, passenger's or snowmobile's capabilities
or intended use.
Age
BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age.
Speed
Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or respond
quickly enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed which
is suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own ability.
Know your local rules. Speed limit may be in effect and meant to
be observed.
Riding
Always keep right hand side of the trail.
