Excessive speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react
or respond quickly enough to the unexpected. Ride at a speed
which is suitable to the trail and weather conditions. If a maximum
speed is posted, observe it.
A poorly maintained snowmobile itself can be a potential hazard.
Excessively worn components could render the vehicle complete-
ly inoperative. Keep the snowmobile in good working condition at
all times. Follow your pre-operation check, weekly, monthly and
annually routine maintenance and lubrication procedures as de-
tailed in this guide. Consult a snowmobile dealer or acquire a shop
manual and proper tools and equipment if other repairs or service
is required.
Raising the rear of your snowmobile while the engine is running
could cause snow, ice or debris to be thrown back at an observer.
Never raise the rear of the vehicle while the engine is running. To
clear or inspect the track, stop the engine, tilt the vehicle on its
side and remove blockage with a piece of wood or branch. Never
allow anyone near a rotating snowmobile track.
Do not stud the track. At speed it may cause the track to tear and
separate from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or death.
While on safari, do not "gun" the throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition,
when "gunning" the throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an
irregular snow surface for others.
Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do
the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abil-
ities to the experience of others.
Always cover your snowmobile when leaving it overnight or during
extended periods of inactivity. This will protect from freezing as
well as retain appearance.
The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your
snowmobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you
can experience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep
snowmobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to what
they know and enjoy about their favorite winter pastime. So, the
next time you hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear winter day,
we ask you to remember that you are paving the way for the future
of our sport. Help us lead it down the right path! From all of us at
BOMBARDIER Recreational Products, thank you for doing your
share.
