Riding Position
Your riding position and balance are the two basic principles of mak-
ing your snowmobile go where you want it to. When turning on the
side of a hill, you and your passenger must be ready to shift body
weight to help it turn in the desired direction. Driver and passen-
ger(s) must never attempt this maneuvering by placing feet outside
of the vehicle. Experience will teach you how much lean to put into
turns at different speeds and how much you will have to lean into a
slope to maintain proper balance.
Generally, the riding position for best balance and control is sitting.
However, the posting, kneeling or standing positions are also used
under certain conditions.
The novice driver should become familiar with the snowmobile
through practice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing
afield.

WARNING
Do not attempt any maneuvers if they are beyond your abili-
ties.
