On occasion, you will find that the only way to turn the vehicle about
in deep snow is to pull the snowmobile around. Do not overexert
yourself. Get assistance. Remember to always lift using your legs
as opposed to your back.

Road Crossing
In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or
snowbank. Choose a place where you know you can climb with-
out difficulty. Use the standing position and proceed with only as
much speed needed to crest the bank. Stop completely at the top
of the bank and wait for all traffic to clear. Judge the drop to the
roadway. Cross the road at a 90 angle. If you encounter another
snowbank on the opposite side, position your feet near the rear of
the vehicle. Remember, your snowmobile is not designed to oper-
ate on bare pavement and steering on this type of surface is more
difficult.
Railroad Crossing
Never ride on railroad tracks. It is illegal. Railroad tracks and railroad
rights-of-way are private property. A snowmobile is no match for a
train. When crossing a railroad track, stop, look and listen.
