OPERATION WARNINGS
Wire fences are a serious hazard.
Teach your child to always be on the
alert for fences. Single strands are
especially dangerous, since there
can be a great distance between
posts. Guy wires on utility poles are
also difficult to distinguish. Teach
your child to reduce speed when
traveling near poles, posts, or other
obstacles.
Teach your child that the sound of
the machine will make it difficult to
hear the sound of approaching ve-
hicles. Do not allow your child to op-
erate the snowmobile on or near
roads and railroad tracks.
Teach your child what it means to drive defensively. Never tailgate and always al-
low ample stopping distances.
Your child must be taught to always be alert and pay attention to the driving area
ahead.
When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a nearby predetermined
course. Establish boundaries and make certain the operator(s) know and under-
stand them. Make sure they know how to drive and control the snowmobile before
you allow them to make supervised longer distance runs. Teach them proper
snowmobile courtesy.
It is a good idea to predetermine some hand signals as a way to communicate with
your child while giving instruction. It may be difficult for your child to hear your voice
over the sound of the snowmobile and through a helmet.
