Operation Warnings
n
Check surroundings
Make sure the operation area is clear of obstacles and bystanders. Some
sideways movement is possible when the snowmobile first begins to
move, and debris may be thrown by the track. Teach the operator to
check the operating area before riding.
n
Sit properly on the snowmobile
Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.
An improper position can reduce the child's ability to control the snow-
mobile. The riding position may vary as the operator becomes more
skilled, but under most conditions the proper position is to be seated
with both feet on the running boards, in a comfortable position for
proper throttle, brake and steering control.
WARNING
This snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track, which must be partially
exposed for proper operation. Serious injuries may be caused by operator
carelessness, resulting in hands, feet, hair or clothing becoming entangled in
the track. Teach the child to respect this machine and all moving parts. Teach
the child that being properly seated is the safest way to stay clear of the track.
WARNING
Never hold the snowmobile up or
stand behind it while warming up
the track. A loose track or flying
debris could cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
