HOW TO RIDE
Your riding position and balance are the two basic principles of mak-
ing your snowmobile go where you want it to. When turning on the
side of a hill, you and your passenger must be ready to shift body
weight to help it turn in the desired direction. Driver and passenger
must never assist by place their feet outside of the vehicle. Expe-
rience will teach you how much lean to put into turns at different
speeds and how much you will have to lean into a slope to maintain
proper balance.
Generally, the riding position for best balance and control is sitting.
However, the posting, kneeling or standing positions are also used
under certain conditions.
The novice driver should become familiar with the snowmobile
through practice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing
afield.

WARNING
Do not attempt any maneuvers if they are beyond your level
ability.
Sitting
Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal po-
sition when operating the snowmobile over familiar, smooth terrain.
Knees and hips should remain flexible to absorb shocks.
