SAFETY

Operator Safety

Stay Clear of Track

Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be

partially exposed for proper operation.

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

ignition, raise the hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and

guards, secure the 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; 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.
