This vehicle may exceed the performance of other vehicles you may
have ridden. Take time to familiarize yourself with your new vehicle.
Inexperienced riders may overlook risks and be surprised by vehicle's
specific behavior and terrain conditions. Ride slowly. Excessive speed
and reckless driving can kill.
Make sure you read and understand the content of this operator's
guide to become completely familiar with the controls and operation of
the snowmobile before embarking on your first trip or taking on a pas-
senger(s). If you have not had the opportunity to do so, practice driving
solo in a suitable traffic-free area to become accustomed to the feel
and response of each control.
It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his experi-
ence, of the handling characteristics of this snowmobile. The snowmo-
bile configuration, such as ski stance, ski type, suspension type, track
length, width and type vary from a model to another. The snowmobile
handling is greatly influenced by these characteristics.

Your snowmobile features a track propulsion system. The track grips
on the snow-covered surface and pushes the snowmobile in the oppo-
site direction of the force applied on the surface. Stay away from the
track. Personal injury will result if contact is made with the revolving
track.

The grip of the track will vary depending on the surface conditions.
The grip may be reduced on hard-pack snow or ice. Reduce your
speed and allow more space to turn. Refer to the TRACTION EN-
HANCING PRODUCTS subsection of this guide to learn how to bal-
ance the grip of the ski vs the grip of the track. If the front and rear of
the snowmobile are out of balance due to an incorrect combination of
traction enhancing products, the snowmobile may tend to oversteer or
understeer, which could lead to a loss of control.

Skis are used to steer the snowmobile through the handlebar. The per-
formance to steer will vary depending of the grip of the skis on the sur-
face. Steering control ability may be reduced on hard-pack snow, ice
or roads. Reduce speed and allow more space to turn. Refer to the
TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS subsection of this guide to
learn how to balance the grip of the ski versus the grip of the track. If
