OPERATION WARNINGS
Hilly Terrain
Riding Uphill
Riding uphill requires extreme caution and should be attempted only by experi-
enced operators. The operator should assume a standing position with body
weight kept low and forward, accelerating before the start of the climb and then re-
leasing throttle pressure enough to prevent track slippage.
When reaching the c rest of the hill, the operator must slow down and be prepared
to react to obstacles, sharp drops, or other people or vehicles which may be on the
other side of the hill.
Riding Downhill
When riding downhill, the operator must keep the speed at a minimum. It is impor-
tant to apply just enough throttle to keep the clutch engaged while descending the
hill. This will allow use of the engine’s compression to help slow the machine, and
keep the snowmobile from rolling freely downhill.
Responsible Driving
It is up to you, the parent, to teach your child the proper and safe way to ride a snow-
mobile. You must set boundaries and adhere to them, keeping your child’s safety
foremost in your mind. Never allow your child to operate this machine without adult
supervision.
WARNING
Traveling on hilly terrain is not recommended. It takes some maneuvering of
body weight that a child may not be capable of, which will leave the child at
risk. If traveling on hilly terrain is unavoidable, teach your child to exercise ex-
treme caution as well as the proper operating procedure as outlined below.
WARNING
Teach your child to never stand or get off the machine on the downhill side of
the machine. Serious injury or death could result.
