YOUTH SECTION

Know Your Snowmobile

Hood

The hood covers the moving and hot parts of the engine. Always make

sure the hood is securely latched before you ride.
Headlight

The headlight is always on when the engine is running. It helps others

see you when you're riding during daylight, but it's not meant to be

strong enough to help you see in the dark. Drive your snowmobile only

in the daylight.
Windshield

Always keep your windshield clean so you can see through it.
Handlebar

The handlebar is connected to the skis. When you turn the handlebar, the

skis turn in the same direction.
Seat and Storage

When the engine is stopped, you can take the seat cushion off and put

things under the seat in the special compartment.
Taillight

The taillight is always on when the engine is running. It will help others

see you when you're riding.
Snow Flap

The snow flap keeps snow, ice or other things from flying out behind

your snowmobile.
Track

When you squeeze the throttle lever, the track turns and makes the

snowmobile move forward.

Skis

The skis help you steer your snowmobile. When you turn the handlebar,

the skis turn in the same direction.

Never get close to a moving track. Never wear clothing that could get

caught in a moving track, like a long scarf or baggy clothing. Tie up

long hair.
