RIDING THE VEHICLE
fmo2008-003-005
Road Crossing
In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or
snowbank. Choose a place where you know you can climb without
difficulty. Use the standing position and proceed with only as much
speed needed to crest the bank. Stop completely at the top of the
bank and wait for all traffic to clear. Judge the drop to the roadway.
Cross the road at a 90° angle. If you encounter another snowbank
on the opposite side, position your feet near the rear of the vehicle.
Remember, your snowmobile is not designed to operate on bare
pavement and steering on this type of surface is more difficult.
Railroad Crossing
Never ride on railroad tracks. It is illegal. Railroad tracks and railroad
rights-of-way are private property. A snowmobile is no match for a
train. Before crossing a railroad track, stop, look and listen.
Night Rides
The amount of natural and artificial light at a given time can effect
your ability to see or to be seen. Nighttime snowmobiling is delight-
ful. It can be a unique experience if you acknowledge your reduced
visibility. Before you start, make certain your lights are clean and
work properly. Drive at speeds that will allow you to stop in time
when you see an unknown or dangerous object ahead. Stay on
established trails and never operate in unfamiliar territory. Avoid
