Riding your snowmobile
Getting to know your snowmobile
A snowmobile is a rider active vehicle, and your riding
position and your balance are the two basic factors of
maneuvering your snowmobile.
Riding your snowmobile requires skills acquired through
practice over a period of time. Take the time to learn the
basic techniques well before attempting more difficult
maneuvers.
Riding your new snowmobile can be a very enjoyable
activity, providing you with hours of pleasure. However, it
is essential to familiarize yourself with the operation of
the snowmobile to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy
riding safely. Before operating the snowmobile, read this
Owner’s Manual completely and understand the opera-
tion of the controls.
Pay particular attention to the safety information on
pages 3-1–3-3. Please read all warning and caution
labels on your snowmobile. Also, read the Snowmobiler’s
Safety Handbook that is supplied with your snowmobile.
Learning to ride your snowmobile
Before you ride, always perform the pre-operation
checks listed on pages 8-1–8-3. The short time spent
checking the condition of the snowmobile will be
rewarded with added safety and a more reliable snow-
mobile. Always wear the proper clothing for both warmth
and to help protect you from injury if an accident occurs.
Become familiar with operating your snowmobile at low
speeds, even if you are an experienced rider. Do not
attempt to operate at maximum performance until you
are totally familiar with the snowmobile’s handling and
performance characteristics.
Set the parking brake and follow the instructions on page
7-1–7-2 to start the engine. Once it has warmed up, you
are ready to begin riding your snowmobile.
