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.
