Operation Warnings
n
Stop engine before attempting adjustments
WARNING
The snowmobile engine compartment contains moving parts.
Shields and guards have been provided for safety, but it is still
possible to carelessly get your hands or fingers into a moving
chain or a rotating shaft. For this reason
never
attempt
adjustments with the engine running. Serious personal injuries
can result. The proper method is to turn off the ignition, raise the
hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and guards, secure
the hood, and then re-start the engine to check its operation. The
same is true of track alignment. If the track must be re-aligned, it
is recommended that this service be performed by your dealer.
n
Always wear clothing designed for snowmobiling
Clothing designed for snowmobiling is warm, comfortable and safe.
WARNING
Always make sure the operator is wearing an approved helmet
and eye protection. Do not allow the child to wear loose clothing
or long scarves because they can easily become entangled in
moving parts. If your child has long hair, be sure it is always tied
up securely and tucked into the helmet or jacket.
Extremely cold weather can cause frostbite and/or hypothermia.
Always be aware of weather conditions, especially the wind chill.
