SAFETY

Operator Safety

Stay Clear of Track

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

exposed for proper operation.

Stay Clear of Engine

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

tion, raise the hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and guards,

secure the hood, and then restart the engine to check its operation.

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

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.

WARNING

Serious injury can occur if fingers or clothing contact the moving parts of an

engine. Always stop the engine before attempting adjustments.

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.
