SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Know your local laws. Federal, state, provincial and local government agencies
have enacted laws and regulations pertaining to the safe use and operation of
snowmobiles. It is your responsibility as a snowmobiler to learn and obey these
laws and regulations. Respect and observance will result in safer snowmobiling
for all. Be aware of the liability property damages and insurance laws regarding
your equipment.
– Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or respond quickly
enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed which is suitable to the trail,
weather conditions and your own ability. Know your local rules. Speed limit
may be in effect and meant to be observed.
– Always keep right hand side of the trail.
– Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and bystanders.
– Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers performed by
professional riders under ideal and/or controlled conditions. You should never
attempt any such risky maneuvers if they are beyond your level of riding ability.
– Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol. They slow reaction time and impair
judgement.
– Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets, roads or high-
ways.
– Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted, reduce speed. The
snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn on paving. When crossing a road,
make a full stop, then look carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90°
angle. Be wary of parked vehicles.
– Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but because of reduced
visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar terrain and be sure your lights are
working. Always carry a flashlight and spare light bulbs.
– Never remove any original equipment from your snowmobile. Each vehicle
has many built in safety features. Such features include various guards and
consoles, plus reflective materials and safety labels.
– Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your attention from driving. If you
want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your snowmobile on the side of
the trail so that you don't become a hazard to others.
– Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your snowmobile. Give
a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
– Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious accidents.
– Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a face shield. This
also applies to your passenger.
– Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such as avalanche
and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.
– Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snowmobile in front of
you slows for any reason, its operator and passenger could be harmed through
your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping distance between you and the snowmo-
bile in front of you. Depending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a
little more space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driving.
