IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES
Training

Basic training is required for the
safe operation of any snowmobile.
Study your Operator's Guide paying
particular attention to cautions and
warnings.
Join your local snow-
mobile club: its social activities
and trail systems are planned for
both fun and safety. Obtain basic
instructions from your snowmobile
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. In-
dicate the correct riding positions
and, above all else, only allow him
to operate the snowmobile in a re-
stricted flat area — at least until he
is completely familiar with its opera-
tion. If there is a local snowmobile
operator's training course existing,
have him enroll.
Performance

The performance of some snow-
mobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have
operated. Therefore, use by novice
or inexperienced operators is not
recommended.

Snowmobiles are used in many ar-
eas and in many snow conditions.
Not all models perform the same in
similar conditions. Always consult
your snowmobile dealer when se-
lecting the snowmobile model for
your particular needs and uses.

Injury or death may result to the
snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is
used in risky conditions which are
beyond the driver's, passenger's
or snowmobile's capabilities or in-
tended use.
Age

BRP recommends the operator has
at least 16 years old of age.
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 condi-
tions and your own ability. Know
your local rules. Speed limit may
be in effect and meant to be ob-
served.
Riding

Always keep right hand side of the
trail.

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 conditions.
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. Op-
erate your snowmobile prudently.

Your snowmobile is not designed to
be operated on public streets, roads
or highways.

Snowmobiling at night can be a de-
lightful experience but because of
reduced visibility, be extra cautious.
Avoid unfamiliar terrain and be sure
your lights are working. Always car-
ry a flashlight and spare light bulbs.
