SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings:

The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by
novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.

Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snowmo-
bile. Study your
Operator's Guide paying particular attention to
cautions and warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its so-
cial activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and safety.
Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer, friend, fel-
low club member or enroll in your state or provincial safety training
program.

Know the local laws regarding snowmobiles and be aware of the li-
ability, property damage and insurance laws relating to your equip-
ment.

Always keep right hand side of the trail.

Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by-
standers.

Jumping a snowmobile is an unsafe and dangerous practice.

Know your snowmobile and treat it with the respect and care due
of any power driven machine. Common sense, proper handling
and routine maintenance will result in safer and enjoyable use.
Check your machine before each ride.

Always make a pre-start inspection BEFORE you turn on the igni-
tion.

If you are a parent, you must be the judge of your child's capabil-
ity to understand, to operate and to control a snowmobile. Warn
against speeding, over confidence and carelessness. Never let
children snowmobile unsupervised.

Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow condi-
tions. Not all models perform the same in similar conditions. Al-
ways consult your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snow-
mobile model for your particular needs and uses.

Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which
are beyond the driver's, passenger's or snowmobile's capabilities
or intended use.

Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers per-
formed by professional riders under ideal and/or controlled condi-
tions. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they
are beyond your level of riding ability.
