IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES
Training

Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snowmo-
bile. Study your Operator's Guide paying particular attention to
cautions and warnings. Obtain basic instructions from your snow-
mobile dealer, friend, fellow club member or enroll in your state or
provincial safety training program.

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.
Performance

Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator or bystander
if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which are beyond the
driver's or snowmobile's capabilities or intended use.
Speed

Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or respond
quickly enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed which
is suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own ability.
Know your local rules. Speed limit may be in effect and meant to
be observed.
Riding

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.

Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by-
standers.

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.

Never ride after consuming drugs or alcohol or if you feel tired or
ill. Operate your snowmobile prudently.

Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,
roads or highways.
