Ski-Doo REV GEN4, Manual

Page: 21 / 283

RIDING THE VEHICLE
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of other recre-
ationists or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as
training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice-
able handling and performance differences from one snowmobile to
the other.
A snowmobile is relatively simple to operate but like any other
vehicle or mechanical equipment, it can be hazardous if you or a pas-
senger are reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We encourage you
to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your snowmobile. Please
contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer for further details. Though not
required, it is recommended that an authorized Ski-Doo dealer per-
forms the preseason preparation of your snowmobile. Each visit to
your authorized Ski-Doo dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer
to verify if your snowmobile is included in any safety campaign.
We also urge you to visit your authorized Ski-Doo dealer in a timely
manner if you become aware of any safety related campaigns.
See an authorized Ski-Doo dealer for available accessories you may
require.
Before venturing on the trails, operate the snowmobile in a restricted
flat area until you are completely familiar with its operation and feel
comfortable that you can safely tackle a more demanding task. Have
an enjoyable and safe ride.
Pre-Ride Inspection
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating
the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical
controls, safety features and mechanical components before
starting.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Remove snow and ice from body including lights, seat, footrests,
controls and instruments.
2. Verify that air silencer prefilter is free of snow.
3. Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding
action of skis versus handlebar.
