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 igni-
tion, 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 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! 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.
