SAFETY
OPERATOR SAFETY
Follow the recommended maintenance program on page 33 to ensure that all
critical components on the snow bike are thoroughly inspected at specific
intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Your dealer can perform
this service.
WARNING
Driving a snow bike requires your full attention. DO NOT drink alcohol or use
drugs or medications before or while driving or riding as a passenger. They will
reduce your alertness and slow your reaction time.
Snow bikes are capable of traveling at high speeds. Use extra caution to
ensure operator safety. Make sure your snow bike is in excellent operating
condition at all times. Always check major and vital safety components before
every ride.
All Timbersled snow bikes are designed and tested to provide safe operation
when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from
operation with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or
power. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snow bike may become
aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed.
Loss of control may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a
safety hazard and lead to bodily injury.
HOST BIKE
The Timbersled Snow Bike system is designed to be attached to a variety of
host bikes. Read and understand your host bike’s operation manual and follow
all safety and maintenance information. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
STAY CLEAR OF TRACK
Your snow bike is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed
for proper operation.
WARNING
Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the
track. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the
track. Never hold the snow bike up or stand behind it while warming up the
track. A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. We
recommend having your dealer perform all track service and alignment
procedures.
