Operator Safety

Riding Position

Improper riding position may seriously reduce your ability to
control the machine and may result in serious injury or death.
Always be properly seated and in position to control your vehicle.
Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control.
Rider positions may vary from person to person as each becomes more
skilled; but under most conditions, the proper position is to be seated
with feet on the running boards, and comfortably positioned for proper
throttle, brake, and steering control.
Use of a backrest may hinder your weight shifting ability. This
could affect your ability to control this rider-active vehicle in
certain extreme driving situations.

Survival Equipment

For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always
tell someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone.
If it isn't possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote
areas, always carry survival equipment that's appropriate to the
conditions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is
not limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and
water, a signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way
radio or cellular telephone.
