OPERATION WARNINGS
Hilly Terrain
Exercise caution and good judgement when travelling in hilly terrain.
Crossing a Slope (Sidehilling)
WARNING
Sidehilling can be very dangerous and is not recommended for inexperienced
snowmobilers.
Crossing the face of a slope (sidehilling) requires the operator to position his/her
weight in order to maintain proper balance. Kneel with the knee of the downhill leg
on the seat and the foot of the uphill leg on the running board. This position makes
it easier to shift your weight as needed. As you travel across the slope, lean uphill
to position your weight on the uphill side.
