Foreword - Arctic Cat AC 120 2007 Operator's Manual

FOREWORD

The AC 120 Snowmobile is intended to be a learning/recreational snowmobile for a
responsible child at least 6 years of age under adult supervision. This snowmobile is
intended to be ridden by the operator only; there should be no passenger. Also, this snow-
mobile is intended for daylight use in restricted off-road areas, primarily on snow. Use of
this snowmobile on public streets, roads, and highways can be hazardous and is prohib-
ited by law in most cases. As a parent or guardian, one must accept the responsibility of
training the child in the safe operation of the snowmobile. Teach all operators the basic
principles of operation, snowmobile rules and regulations, and especially how to stop the
snowmobile in case of an emergency. Impress upon the child a sense of snowmobile
courtesy and responsibility.
This snowmobile is a quality Arctic Cat product designed, engineered, and manufactured
to give dependable service. Be sure, as the owner, to become thoroughly familiar with its
basic operation, maintenance, and storage procedures. Read this manual and the accom-
panying Snowmobile Safety Handbook to ensure safe and proper use of the snowmobile.
This manual is divided into sections. The sections Getting Ready to Operate the AC 120
Safely and Operating the AC 120 must be read and explained to the child/operator. The
other sections are for the owner/parent/guardian and contain information on snowmobile
identification, safe operating instructions, lubrication, maintenance, storage, and after-
storage preparation. If repair or service is ever required, contact an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for professional service.
The Operator's Manual, Snowmobile Safety Handbook, and snowmobile decals display
the words Warning, Caution, and Note to emphasize important information. The symbol

mobile-related damage. Follow the directive because it deals with the possibility of dam-
