SAFETY
Operator Safety
Stay Clear of Track
Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially
exposed for proper operation. Do not stand on the plastic flap.
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, open the side panels or hood, make the adjustment, secure shields
and guards, secure the side panels and 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.
