SAFETY

Operator Safety

Riding Position

Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.

Rider positions may vary from person to person as each becomes more

skilled; but under most conditions, the proper position is to be seated

with feet on the running boards, and comfortably positioned for proper

throttle, brake, and steering control.

Riding Apparel

Be aware of the weather forecast and

especially the wind chill. A wind chill

table is provided on page 22 for your

reference. To better enjoy your ride, be

prepared, be warm and be comfortable.

Disabled Operators

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and

physical skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have

an increased risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury

or death.

Improper riding position may seriously reduce your ability to

control the machine and may result in serious injury or death.

Always be properly seated and in position to control your vehicle.

WARNING

Loose clothing or long scarves may easily become entangled in

moving parts and cause serious personal injury.
Always wear an approved helmet and eye protection.
