Operator Safety

Excessive Speed

Always observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile opera-

tion and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail

ahead. If your speed is 40 MPH (64 km/h), your snowmobile is traveling

about 60 feet (18 m) per second. If you look back for only two seconds,

your snowmobile will travel about 120 feet (36 m). If your speed is 60

MPH (96 km/h), your snowmobile will travel about 180 feet (55 m) in

two seconds.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight

to ensure proper operation, and don’t over-drive your headlight beam.

Always be able to bring your snowmobile to a stop in the distance illu-

minated by the headlight.

WARNING! High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury

or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.
