SAFETY
Operator Safety
Riding Position
Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.
Rider positions may vary with experience; but under many conditions,
the proper position is to be seated with both feet on the running boards
and both hands on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake and
steering control.
WARNING! Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in
serious injury or death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your
vehicle.
Survival Preparation
For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always
tell someone where you’re going and how long you expect to be gone. If
it isn’t possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote
areas, always carry survival equipment that’s appropriate to the condi-
tions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is not lim-
ited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a
signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cel-
lular telephone.
Always carry the owner’s manual on your snowmobile. For added pro-
tection, purchase and carry the following items on your snowmobile as
well:
• Spare Drive Belt • Winter Survival Kit
• Extra Set of Spark Plugs • Trail Map
• Tow Rope • First Aid Kit
• Extra Oil • Tool Kit
• Fuel Deicer
