RIDING THE VEHICLE
25
SAFETY INFORMATION
the operator’s careful and safe operation of the vehicle. In
addition, “body english” is limited with a passenger, and the
operator can sometimes see more of the trail ahead than
the passenger. Therefore, smooth starting and stopping are
required with a passenger, and the operator must slow down.
The operator must also warn the passenger about side hills,
bumps, branches, etc. An unforeseen bump can leave you
passenger-less. Remind your passenger to lean into the turn
with you, without causing the vehicle to topple. Be extremely
careful, go more slowly and check the passenger frequently.
WARNING
When riding with a passenger:
- Braking ability and steering control are reduced. De-
crease speed and allow extra space to maneuver.
- Adjust suspension according to weight.
For complete information on how to adjust the suspension,
please refer to

Riding with a Child
On snowmobiles allowing two passengers (with optional seat),
if you have an adult and a child for passenger, BRP recom-
mends that the child sits in the center location. This allows an
adult sitting in the rear seat to keep a visual contact with the
child and hold him if necessary. In addition, the child is best
protected against the wind and cold temperature if seated in
the center location.
Use extra caution and go even more slowly with a young
passenger. Check frequently to make certain the child has a
firm grip and is properly positioned with his feet on the running
boards.
