Operation Warning
(continued from previous page)
Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can
result in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to
avoid unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehi-
cle.
In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located
on the top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then
pull the brake lever to stop.
Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate
clothing while operating this vehicle.
This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age
requirements.
When operating with a passenger (on approved models only),
reduce speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A
passenger reduces your ability to control the vehicle.
When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads,
steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and
allow extra space to turn or stop.
To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you
should have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See
Owner’s Manual for proper use of traction products.
Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss
of braking ability.
Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave
brake engaged for more than five minutes.
Before starting the engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for
proper operation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in posi-
tion to control the vehicle.
Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when
refueling.
