Fuel

Always stop the engine before
refueling.
Fuel is flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well-ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Open cap slowly.
If a differen-
tial pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loos-
ening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation. Do not overfill or
top off the fuel tank before placing
the vehicle in a warm area. As tem-
perature increases, fuel expands
and might overflow. Always wipe
off any fuel spillage from the vehi-
cle. Periodically verify fuel system.
Basics for Passenger

Never ride as a passenger unless
the snowmobile is equipped with a
passenger seat, and sit only on the
designated passenger seat.

Always wear a DOT approved hel-
met and follow the same dressing
guidelines as those recommended
for the operator and described in
this guide.

Make sure that you are able to
achieve a stable stance, both feet
resting positively on the footboards
of footrests with good grip, and
that you are able to hold on firmly
to the handholds.

Once underway, if you feel uncom-
fortable or insecure for any reason,
don‘t wait, tell the driver to slow
down or stop.
