SAFETY INFORMATION 19
– Fences represent a very serious threat for both you
and your snowmobile. Give a wide berth to tele-
phone poles or posts.
– Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause
serious accidents.
– Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protec-
tion 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 be-
tween you and the snowmobile in front of you. De-
pending on the terrain condition, stopping may
require a little more space than you think. Play it
safe. Be prepared to use evasive driving.
– Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also
be hazardous. You could run out of fuel, have an ac-
cident, or damage your snowmobile. Remember,
your snowmobile is capable of traveling further in
half an hour than you may be able to walk in a day.
Use the “buddy system”. Always ride with a friend or
member of your snowmobile club. Even then, tell
someone where you are going and the approximate
time you plan to return.
– Meadows sometimes have low areas where water
accumulate and freezes over in winter. This ice is
usually glare ice. Attempting to turn or brake on this
surface could cause your vehicle to spin out of con-
trol. Never brake or attempt speeding or turning on
glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a con-
dition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the
throttle.
– Never “jump” with your snowmobile.
– While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and
ice can be thrown back into the path of a following
