SAFETY
Operator Safety
Disabled Operators
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and
physical skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an
increased risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury or
death.
Survival Preparation
For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always
tell someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone. If
it isn't possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote
areas, always carry survival equipment that's appropriate to the condi-
tions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is not lim-
ited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a
signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cel-
lular telephone.
For added protection, carry the following items on your snowmobile at
all times:
• Spare Drive Belt • Winter Survival Kit
• Extra Set of Spark Plugs • Trail Map
• Tow Rope • Owner's Manual
• Extra Oil • First Aid Kit
• Fuel Deicer • Tool Kit
