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