OPERATION WARNINGS
Lighting Check
Check headlight and taillight for normal operation.
Check Surroundings to Verify Clear Operating Area
It is important to make certain there is a clear area all around the snowmobile, in-
cluding an area clear of bystanders. Remember that the possibility always exists
of some sideways vehicle movement or of debris being thrown by the track. Teach
the operator to check the operating area before riding.
Be Seated and in Position to Control the Vehicle
Improper operator position on the snowmobile can be the source of serious injury.
Operating a s nowmobile does require skill and balance for proper control, and an
improper position can seriously reduce the child’s ability to control the snowmobile.
The riding position may vary as the operator becomes more skilled; but under most
conditions the proper position is to be seated, feet on the running boards, and in
a comfortable position for proper throttle, brake, and steering c ontrol.
This snowmobile is pro-
pelled by a revolving track
which must be partially ex-
posed for proper operation.
Serious injuries may be
caused by operator care-
lessness resulting in hands,
feet, hair, or clothing becom-
ing entangled in the track.
Teach your child to respect
this machine and all the
moving parts. Stress that
being properly seated
keeps the child clear of the
track.
