n Check Surroundings to Verify Clear Operating Area
Make sure you have a clear area all around your snowmobile, including
an area clear of bystanders. There’s always the possibility of some
sideways vehicle movement, of applying a little more throttle than
intended, or of debris being thrown by the track. If the surrounding
area is clear you before you start, you can devote your full attention to
operating the snowmobile.
