Your riding position and balance are the two basic prin-
ciples of making your snowmobile go where you want it
to. When turning on the side of a hill, you and your pas-
senger must be ready to shift body weight to help it turn
in the desired direction. Operator and passenger must
never attempt this maneuvering by placing feet outside
of the vehicle. Experience will teach you how much lean
to put into turns at different speeds and how much you
will have to lean into a slope to maintain proper balance.
Generally, the riding position for best balance and con-
trol is sitting. However, the posting, kneeling or standing
positions are also used under certain conditions.

Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat
is an ideal position when operating the snowmobile over
familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and hips should remain
flexible to absorb shocks.
