Operation Warnings
Driving on Hills
Traveling on hills is not recommended. A child may not be capable of
maneuvering body weight as needed for operating on hills. If traveling
on hills is unavoidable, teach your child to use extreme caution and obey
the following proper operating procedures.
Driving Uphill
Driving uphill should be attempted only by experienced operators.
1. Stand on the running boards, keeping body weight low and forward.
2. Accelerate before the start of the climb, releasing the throttle as
needed to prevent the track from slipping on the snow.
3. Slow down at the crest of the hill. Be prepared to avoid obstacles,
sharp drops, or other people or vehicles that may be on the other
side of the hill.
Driving Downhill
Drive downhill slowly. Apply just enough throttle to keep the clutch
engaged.This will allow engine compression to help slow the machine
and prevent the snowmobile from rolling freely downhill.
WARNING
Serious injury or death can result if the snowmobile rolls or slides downhill. If
the snowmobile stops while the operator is driving on a hill, the operator
should dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle. Never dismount or stand on
the downhill side of a snowmobile.
