Know Your Snowmobile
1. Hood - The hood covers the moving and hot parts of the engine
and must be securely latched before you ride the snowmobile.
2. Headlight - The headlight is always on when the engine is
running. It helps others see you when you’re riding during
daylight, but it’s not supposed to be strong enough to help you see
in the dark. Drive your snowmobile only in the daylight.
3. Windshield - Always keep your windshield clean so you can see
where you’re driving.
4. Handlebar - The handlebar is connected to the skis. When you
turn the handlebar, the skis turn in the same direction.
5. Flag - The flag helps other people see where you’re riding. Your
snowmobile is smaller than an adult snowmobile, so it’s harder to
see. Never remove the flag from your snowmobile.
6. Seat and Storage - When the engine isn’t running, you can take
the seat cushion off and put things under the seat in the special
compartment.
7. Taillight - The taillight is always on when the engine is running.
It will help others see you when you’re riding.
8. Snow Flap - The snow flap keeps snow, ice or other things from
flying out behind your snowmobile.
Never get close to a moving track. Never wear clothing that
could get caught in a moving track, like a long scarf or baggy
clothing. Tie up long hair.
9. Track - The engine makes the track turn. The turning track makes
your snowmobile go forward.
10. Skis - The skis turn your snowmobile in the same direction that
you turn the handlebar.
