Operator Safety

Ice and Snow Build-up

Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure

ice and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If

difficulty is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be

obstructing the steering linkage. Snow screens and bib kits are

available through your dealer to help reduce snow and ice build-up.

Driving on Slippery Surfaces

Excessive shifting of operator body weight when turning on

hard-packed snow or ice may lead to loss of vehicle control and result

in serious injury or death. Slow down to maintain control under these

conditions.
It’s dangerous to drive on ice or other slippery surfaces. If it’s

unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate at speeds no faster than a

walk. Never attempt an abrupt change of direction. The chance of

“spin-out” increases under these conditions.

Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your

machine, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood

area free of snow and ice.

WARNING

Driving on ice or hard-packed snow reduces steering and braking

control, which may result in serious injury or death. Slow down

and use caution.
