Do Not Overload Cargo Carrier
Too much weight on the rear of the machine may reduce your ability to
steer. Do not exceed carrier and rack weight limits, and do not allow a
passenger to sit on the seat back or the cargo carrier.
Control becomes more difficult with two people on board. More
space is required to make turns, and longer distances are needed
for stopping. Make sure the passenger remains seated behind the
driver, facing forward, with both feet placed firmly on the running
boards. Slow down and avoid "jumping" your snowmobile.
Always Wear Clothing Designed for Snowmobiling
Be aware of the weather forecast and especially the wind chill. A table
is provided on page 26 for your reference. To better enjoy your ride,
be prepared, warm, and comfortable.
