ESU10193
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible
for the safe and proper operation of your
snowmobile. When you ride your snowmo-
bile, you must know and use the following for
your safety. Severe injury or death may result
if you ignore any of the following.
Before you operate your snowmobile
● Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels.
Become familiar with all of the operating
controls and their function. Consult a
Yamaha dealer about any control or func-
tion you do not understand.
● Wear protective clothing. Wear an ap-
proved helmet, and a face shield or gog-
gles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile
suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens
that will permit use of your thumbs and fin-
gers for operation of the controls.
● Do not operate the snowmobile after or
while drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your
ability to operate the snowmobile is re-
duced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Prepare your snowmobile
● Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it is
in safe operating condition. Failure to in-
spect or maintain the vehicle properly in-
creases the possibility of an accident or
equipment damage. See page 46 for a list
of pre-operation checks.
● Apply the parking brake before starting the
engine. Never drive the snowmobile with
the parking brake applied. This may over-
heat the brake disc and reduce braking abil-
ity.
While using your snowmobile
● This snowmobile was not manufactured for
use on public streets, roads, or highways.
Such use is prohibited by law, and you
could collide with another vehicle.
● RS90P and RS90PLT are designed to carry
the OPERATOR ONLY. Passengers are
prohibited. Carrying a passenger can cause
loss of control.
● Be careful where you ride. There may be
obstacles hidden beneath the snow. Stay
on established trails to minimize your expo-
sure to hazards. Ride slowly and cautiously
when you ride off of established trails. Hit-
ting a rock or stump, or running into wires
could cause an accident and injury.
● This snowmobile is not designed for use on
surfaces other than snow or ice. Use on dirt,
sand, grass, rocks, or bare pavement may
cause loss of control and may damage the
snowmobile.
