Rider Position (Reverse
Operation)
We recommend sitting on your snow-
mobile when operating in reverse.
Avoid standing up. Your weight could
shift forward against throttle lever
while operating in reverse, causing
an unexpected acceleration.
WARNING
Unexpected acceleration when
snowmobile operates in reverse
can cause a loss of control.

Carrying a Passenger

Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only (1-UP), and others can
allow one passenger only (2-UP). Make
sure to identify and respect the warn-
ings according to your specific models.
Even when a passenger is allowed,
this person must be physically fit for
snowmobiling.

Terrain/Riding Variations

Groomed Trail
On a maintained trail, sitting is the
most preferred riding position. Do not
race and, above all, keep to the right
hand side of the trail. Be prepared
for the unexpected. Observe all trail
signs. Do not zigzag from one side of
the trail to the other.
