Ski-Doo 2006 RT series, Operator'S Manual

Page: 10 / 187

INTRODUCTION
Everyone is a beginner the first time he sits behind the controls of a
snowmobile regardless of previous experience in driving an automo-
bile, a motorcycle or a motorboat. The safe use of your snowmobile
is dependent on many conditions such as visibility, speed, weather,
environment, traffic, vehicle condition and the condition of the driver.
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his/her pas-
senger, if any, and of other recreationists or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as
training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice-
able handling and performance differences from one snowmobile to
the other.
A snowmobile is relatively simple to operate but like any other vehicle
or mechanical equipment, it can be hazardous if you or a passenger
are reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We encourage you to have
an Annual Safety Inspection of your snowmobile. Please contact an
authorized SKI-DOO dealer for further details. Finally, we urge you to
visit an authorized SKI-DOO dealer periodically for regular and safety
maintenance, as well as snowmobile accessories you may require.
