Standing
Place both feet on the running boards. Knees should be flexed to
absorb the shock from surface bumps. This is an effective position
to see better and to shift weight as conditions dictate. Avoid abrupt
stop.

Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for an operator only, others can
allow one passenger only, and others can allow up to two passen-
gers. Refer to the indications on the vehicles to know if any particu-
lar snowmobile can accommodate passengers or not, and if so, how
many. Always respect those indications. Overloading is dangerous
because snowmobiles are not designed for it.
Even when passengers are allowed, you must make sure that the

snowmobiling.
WARNING
Any passenger must be able to firmly lay his feet on the
footrests and keep his hands on the grab handles or seat strap
at all times when seated. Respecting those physical criteria is
important to ensure that the passenger is stable and to reduce
the risks of ejection.
