Hard Packed Snow
WARNING
Steering and braking control are substantially reduced under
packed snow or icy conditions.
Excessive shifting of operator body weight when turning on hard packed snow or
slippery surfaces can result in loss of vehicle control and serious injury. Reduce
speed as required to maintain control under these conditions.
Ice
It is dangerous to operate on ice or under slippery conditions. If ice or slip-
pery conditions are unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate at
speeds no faster than a walk. Never attempt an abrupt change of direction on a
slippery surface. The chance of "spin-out" increases under these conditions.
Before riding your snowmobile on a frozen body of water, be sure that the ice is
thick enough to support the machine and its occupant(s) as well as the force that
is created by a moving vehicle. Severe injury or death can result if the snowmobile
and/or its occupant(s) break through the ice.
