SAFETY

Operator Safety

Stay Clear of Track

Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially

exposed for proper operation. Do not stand on the plastic flap.

WARNING! Serious injuries may result if

hands, feet, or clothing become entangled

in the track. Be alert when riding, and

remain properly seated to stay clear of the

track. Never hold the snowmobile up or

stand behind it while warming up the track.

A loose track or flying debris could cause

serious injury or death. We recommend

having your dealer perform all track service

and alignment procedures.

Stay Clear of Engine

Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Turn off the igni-

tion, open the side panels or hood, make the adjustment, secure shields

and guards, secure the side panels and hood, and then restart the engine

to check its operation.

WARNING! Serious injury can occur if fingers or clothing contact the moving

parts of an engine. Always stop the engine before attempting adjustments.

Riding Position

Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.

Rider positions may vary with experience and the features available on

some snowmobiles, 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.
