ADULT SECTION
Operation Warnings
Driving Responsibly
As the adult, you must teach the child the proper and safe way to ride a
snowmobile. Set boundaries and adhere to them, keeping the child's
safety foremost in your mind. Never allow the child to operate this vehi-
cle without adult supervision.
Drive-Away from Parked
When the snowmobile has been parked for more than a few hours, espe-
cially overnight, the skis and track may freeze to the ground. Loosen the
skis and track for the operator. You may have to apply extra throttle ini-
tially to move the snowmobile. Teach operators not to be afraid of
applying extra throttle in this situation, but make sure they understand
that too much throttle could cause the snowmobile to lurch forward.
Track Lubrication
Do not operate the snowmobile for more than a few minutes on ground
surfaces that contain little or no snow. The track needs snow for lubrica-
tion, so driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and dam-
age to the slide rail and track.
Snow and Ice Build-Up
Snow and ice buildup in the underhood area can interfere with the steer-
ing. Manually turn the skis completely to the right and to the left. If dif-
ficulty is encountered, remove any ice and snow buildup that may be
obstructing the steering linkage.
