RIDING THE VEHICLE
mmo2008-003-001
Posting
A semi-sitting position with the body
off the seat and the feet under the body
in a sort of squatting posture, thus al-
lowing the legs to absorb the shocks
when traveling over uneven terrain.
Avoid abrupt stops.

Kneeling
This position is achieved by placing
one foot firmly on the running board
and the opposite knee on the seat.
Avoid abrupt stops.
mmo2008-003-003
Standing
Place both feet on the running boards.
Knees should be flexed to absorb the
shock from surface bumps. This is an
effective position to see better and
to shift weight as conditions dictate.
Avoid abrupt stop.

Rider Position (Reverse Operation)
We recommend sitting on your snow-
mobile when operating in reverse.
Avoid standing up. Your weight could
shift forward against throttle lever
while operating in reverse, causing
an unexpected acceleration.
WARNING
Unexpected acceleration when
snowmobile operates in reverse
can cause a loss of control.
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only, others can allow one
passenger only, and others can allow
up to two passengers. Refer to the
indications on the vehicles to know if
any particular snowmobile can accom-
modate passengers or not, and if so,
how many. Always respect those indi-
cations. Overloading is dangerous be-
cause snowmobiles are not designed
for it.
