SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which
are beyond the operator's, passenger's or snowmobile's capabil-
ities or intended use.
– BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age.
Verify also your local laws for age and training requirements.
– It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his
experience, of the handling characteristics of this snowmobile.
The snowmobile configuration, such as ski stance, ski type, sus-
pension type, track length, width and type vary from a model to
another. The snowmobile handling is greatly influenced by these
characteristics.
– The novice operator should become familiar with the snowmobile
through practice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing
far afield.
– Know your local laws. Federal, state, provincial and local gov-
ernment agencies have enacted laws and regulations pertaining
to the safe use and operation of snowmobiles. It is your re-
sponsibility as a snowmobiler to learn and obey these laws and
regulations. Respect and observance will result in safer snow-
mobiling for all. Be aware of the liability property damages and
insurance laws regarding your equipment.
– Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or re-
spond quickly enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed
which is suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own
ability. Know your local rules. Speed limit may be in effect and
meant to be observed.
– 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 condi-
tions. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they
are beyond your level of riding ability.
– Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol. They slow reaction
time and impair judgement.
– Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public
streets, roads or highways.
