Operation (Ski)
Never put vehicle in 4WD with SnoCobra ski system installed. The front wheels cannot be powered
or allowed to rotate when secured to the SnoCobra ski system.
Never put vehicle in 4WD when only rear track system is installed. The rotation speed of the front
wheels will be different from the rotation speed of the tracks. Doing so can cause both serious injury
and damage to the vehicle and/or the track system.
Do not drive vehicle in reverse with SnoCobra ski system installed.
Only the rear brakes will work on a vehicle equipped with the SnoCobra ski system. The front
wheels will not be rotating or in contact with the surface underneath the vehicle. Verify that the
vehicles’ rear brakes provide enough stopping power to safely operate the vehicle.
Do not operate vehicle equipped with skis in any terrain except for snow or ice.
Never put your feet or hands or tools and other objects on a moving SnoCobra ski system.
When learning to operate a vehicle equipped with SnoCobra skis, it is important to take additional
precautions until you are familiar with its operation. This includes driving at slower speeds, avoiding
hazardous terrain, and being aware of any changes in vehicle or SnoCobra ski system performance.
Do not operate the SnoCobra ski system with damaged parts.
Keep hands and feet away from the SnoCobra ski system until (1) the vehicle is stopped, (2) the
parking brake is engaged and (3) the vehicle’s engine is turned off.
Operation (Vehicle)
Vehicles equipped with the SnoCobra ski system should be operated only by trained, authorized
personnel over the age of 16.
Do not exceed 25 mph with the SnoCobra ski system installed.
Respect rules, regulations, and laws in areas where you use the SnoCobra ski system attached to an
ATV. Prior to use, review published regulations for ATV use.
Always observe your ATV manufacturer’s rules and regulations. Never exceed the vehicle
manufacturer’s operating recommendations.
Allow more than the usual braking distance required to stop the vehicle when the SnoCobra ski
system is installed. Periodically apply brakes while riding to eliminate ice buildup on brake
components.
When rear tracks are installed with the SnoCobra ski system, follow all track manufacturer’s
installation and operating recommendations.
