Operator Safety
Ice and Snow Build-up
Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice
and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty
is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing
the steering linkage. Snow screens and bib kits are available through
your dealer to help reduce snow and ice build-up.
WARNING! Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your
machine, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of
snow and ice.
Driving on Slippery Surfaces
WARNING! Driving on ice or hard-packed snow reduces steering and braking
control, which may result in serious injury or death. Slow down and use caution.
If driving on ice or other slippery surfaces is unavoidable, use extreme
caution and operate at speeds no faster than a walk. Never attempt an
abrupt change of direction. The chance of “spin-out” increases under
these conditions.
