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 snowmobile 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 working. Always carry a flashlight and spare
light bulbs.
Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your attention from
driving. If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your
snowmobile on the side of the trail so that
you don't become a
hazard to others.
Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your
snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious accidents.
Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a face
shield. This also applies to your passenger.
Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such
as avalanche and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.
Avoid road traveling. If you must 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-
fullyinbothdirectionsbeforecrossingata90° angle. Be wary of
parked vehicles.
Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snowmo-
bile in front of you slows for any reason, its driver and passenger
could be harmed through your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping
distance between you and the snowmobile in front of you. De-
pending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a little more
space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driv-
ing.
