Stay Away From Moving Parts
WARNING
Never hold the snowmobile up or stand
behind it while warming up the track. A
loose track or flying debris could cause
serious personal injury or death.
We recommend having your dealer
perform track service and alignment
procedures.
Be alert when r iding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the
track. Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be
partially exposed for proper operation. Serious injuries may result if
hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track.
WARNING
If fingers or clothing contact the moving parts of an engine,
serious injury can result. Always stop the engine before
attempting adjustments.
Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Turn off t he
ignition, raise the hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and
guards, secure the hood, and then restart the engine to check its
operation.
Riding Position
WARNING
Improper riding position may seriously reduce your ability to
control the machine and may result in serious injury or death.
Always be properly seated and in position to control your vehicle.
Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.
Rider positions may vary from person to person as each becomes more
skilled; but under most conditions, the proper position is to be seated
with feet on the running boards, and comfortably positioned for proper
throttle, brake, and steering control.
WARNING
Use of a backrest may hinder your weight shifting ability. This
could affect your ability to control this rider-active vehicle in
certain extreme driving situations.
