Ski-Doo REV-XR 2009, Operator'S Manual, Page: 13 / 151

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and return to idle po-
sition before starting engine.
Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
Never run the engine in a non-ventilated area and/or if vehicle is left unattended.
Always engage parking brake before starting the engine.
Never operate the engine without belt guard and brake disk guard securely in-
stalled or, with hood or side panels opened or removed. Never run the engine
without drive belt installed. Running an unloaded engine such as without drive
belt or with track raised, can be dangerous.
Never charge or boost a battery while installed on snowmobile.
E-TEC engines: Never attempt any fuel system or electrical system main-
tenance or repair. Any maintenance or repair of these systems must be
performed by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in
reverse.
Always remove the tether cord cap (DESS key) when vehicle is not in operation
in order to prevent accidental engine starting, to avoid unauthorized use by chil-
dren or others or theft.
Raising the rear of your snowmobile while the engine is running could cause
snow, ice or debris to be thrown back at an observer. Never raise the rear of
the vehicle while the engine is running. To clear or inspect the track, stop the
engine, tilt the vehicle on its side and remove blockage with a piece of wood or
branch. Never allow anyone near a rotating snowmobile track.
Do not stud the track unless it has been approved for studs. At speed, a stud-
ded track that has not been approved for studs could tear and separate from ve-
hicle posing a risk of severe injury or death. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer
for current specific studding availability and applications.
You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you MUST only use the
BRP approved type stud for use on Ski-Doo snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use
conventional studs because the track thickness is thinner then our standard
tracks. The stud could tear off of track and separate from vehicle posing a
potential risk of severe injury or death.
Never ride as a passenger unless the snowmobile is equipped with a passenger
seat, and sit only on the designated passenger seat.
Always wear an approved helmet and follow the same dressing guidelines as
those recommended for the operator and described in this guide.
Make sure that you are able to achieve a stable stance, both feet resting posi-
tively on the footboards of footrests with good grip, and that you are able to hold
on firmly to the handholds.
Once underway, if you feel uncomfortable or insecure for any reason, don't
wait, tell the driver to slow down or stop.
