SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate
and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempt-
ing to turn or brake on this surface could cause your vehicle to
spin out of control. Never brake or attempt speeding or turning
on glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a condition,
reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
– Never “jump” with your snowmobile unless you're an experi-
enced driver and the stunt is done in controlled / racing condition.
– While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition,
when “gunning” the throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an
irregular snow surface for others.
– Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do
the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abil-
ities to the experience of others.
– In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by
pressing down on the emergency engine stop switch or by
pulling the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off switch, while
applying brake.
– Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
– Never run the engine in a non-ventilated area and/or if vehicle is
left unattended.
– Never attempt any fuel system or electrical system maintenance
or repair. Any maintenance or repair of these systems must be
performed by an authorized Lynx dealer.
– Always remove the tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch
when vehicle is not in operation in order to prevent accidental
engine starting, to avoid unauthorized use by children or others
or theft.
– NEVER stand behind or near a rotating track. Debris could be
projected causing severe injuries. To remove packed snow or
ice, stop engine, tilt and hold vehicle on its side and use wrench
tool on the belt guard.
– Do not stud the track unless it has been approved for studs. At
speed, a studded track that has not been approved for studs could
tear and separate from vehicle. See an authorized Lynx dealer for
current specific studding availability and applications.
