Ski-Doo 2005 REV series, Operator'S Manual


Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snowmo-
bile in front of you slows for any reason, its driver and passenger
could be harmed through your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping
distance between you and the snowmobile in front of you. De-
pending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a little more
space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driv-
ing.

Make certain you check the throttle movement prior to starting the
snowmobile to ascertain that the throttle cable is properly opera-
tional. If not, turn off the machine by pushing the engine cut-out
switch, pulling the tether cord cap or by turning off the ignition.
Correct the problem before the snowmobile is operated. Be pre-
pared to immediately respond should a throttle malfunction occur.

Always show a new operator how to start and stop the vehicle.
Indicate the correct riding positions and, above all else, only allow
him to operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area — at least
until he is completely familiar with its operation. If there is a local
snowmobile operator's training course existing, have him enroll.
Make sure he is dressed properly for the weather with no long
scarves or loose fitting apparel that could get caught in moving
parts. Make sure his feet are on the running boards and that he
maintains a firm grab of the passenger strap or grips.
