RIDING THE VEHICLE
How to Ride
Riding Gear
Proper snowmobile clothing should
be worn. It should be comfortable
and not too tight. Always check the
weather forecast before going on a
ride. Dress for the coldest weather
expected. Thermal underwear next to
the skin also provides a good insula-
tion.
Wear an approved helmet at all times
for safety and comfort. A stocking type
cap, balaclava and face mask should al-
ways be carried or worn. Goggles or a
face shield that attaches to the helmet
are indispensable.
Hands should be protected by a pair
of snowmobile gloves or mitts which
have sufficient insulation and allow use
of thumbs and fingers for operation of
controls.
Rubber bottom boots with either a ny-
lon or a leather top, with removable felt
liners are best suited for snowmobil-
ing.
You should keep yourself as dry as pos-
sible when snowmobiling. When you
come indoors, take your snowmobile
suit and boots off and make certain
they dry properly.
Do not wear long scarfs and loose ap-
parels that could get caught in moving
parts.
Carry colored lens goggles.
What to Bring
Every snowmobiler should carry at
least the following basic parts and
tools that can help him and others in
an emergency:
First aid kit
Provided tool kit
Mobile phone
Knife
Spare spark plugs
Flashlight
Friction tape
Trail map
Spare drive belt
Snack
Rider Position (Forward Operation)
Your riding position and balance are
the two basic principles of making your
snowmobile go where you want it to.
When turning on the side of a hill, you
and your passenger must be ready to
shift body weight to help it turn in the
desired direction. Driver and passen-
ger(s) must never attempt this ma-
neuvering by placing feet outside of
the vehicle. Experience will teach you
how much lean to put into turns at dif-
ferent speeds and how much you will
have to lean into a slope to maintain
proper balance.
Generally, the riding position for best
balance and control is sitting. How-
ever, the posting, kneeling or standing
positions are also used under certain
conditions.
WARNING
Do not attempt any maneuvers if
they are beyond your abilities.
