FOREWORD
SAFE RIDING IS SMART SLEDDING!
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 snowmobile club: its social activities
and trail systems are planned for both fun and safety. Obtain basic
instructions from your snowmobile dealer, friend, fellow club mem-
ber or enroll in your state or provincial safety training program.
Know the law regarding snowmobiles and be aware of the liability,
property damage and insurance laws relating to your equipment.
Know your snowmobile and treat it with the respect and care due of
any power driven machine. Common sense, proper handling and rou-
tine maintenance will result in safer and enjoyable use. Check your
machine before each ride.
If you are a parent, you must be the judge of your child’s capability
to understand, to operate and to control a snowmobile. Warn against
speeding, over confidence and carelessness. Never let children snow-
mobile unsupervised.
