Safety Decals and Locations
Operation Warning
(continued from previous page)
• Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can result in
insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid unexpected
obstacles, or to stop safely.
• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.
• In an emergency, push down the Auxiliary Shut-Off Switch, located on the
top of the throttle control assembly, to stop the engine. Then pull the brake
lever to stop.
• Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, and adequate clothing
while operating this vehicle.
• This vehicle is designed for adult use only. Check local laws for age require-
ments.
• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only), reduce speed
and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A passenger reduces your
ability to control the vehicle.
• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, steering
and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and allow extra space
to turn or stop.
• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you should have
a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See Owner's Manual for
proper use of traction products.
• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss of braking
ability.
• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave brake
engaged for more than five minutes.
• Before starting the engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper
operation. Make sure hood is latched. Be seated and in position to control
the vehicle.
Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when refuel-
ing.
