RIDING THE VEHICLE
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of other recre-
ationists or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as
training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice-
able handling and performance differences from one snowmobile to
the other.
A snowmobile is relatively simple to operate but like any other
vehicle or mechanical equipment, it can be hazardous if you are
reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We encourage you to have an
Annual Safety Inspection of your snowmobile. Please contact an
authorized Lynx dealer for further details. Though not required, it is
recommended that an authorized Lynx dealer performs the presea-
son preparation of your snowmobile. Each visit to your authorized
Lynx dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer to verifiy if your
snowmobile is included in any safety campaign. We also urge you
to visit your authorized Lynx dealer in a timely manner if you become
aware of any safety related campaigns.
See an authorized Lynx dealer for available accessories you may re-
quire.
Before venturing on the trails, operate the snowmobile in a restricted
flat area until you are completely familiar with its operation and feel
comfortable that you can safely tackle a more demanding task. Have
an enjoyable and safe ride.
Pre-Ride Inspection
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating
the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical
controls, safety features and mechanical components before
starting.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Remove snow and ice from body including lights, seat, footrests,
controls and instruments.
2. Verify that air silencer prefilter is free of snow.
