vapor, or get some gasoline into your eyes, see your
doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin
or clothing, immediately wash your skin with soap
and water, and change your clothes.
10. Wear protective clothing. Wear an approved helmet,
and a face shield or goggles. Also, wear a good qual-
ity snowmobile suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mit-
tens that will permit use of your thumbs and fingers
for operation of the controls.
Operation
1. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting
the engine to transport the snowmobile in or out of
the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes
are dangerous.
2. Be careful where you ride. There may be obstacles
hidden beneath the snow. Stay on established trails
to minimize your exposure to hazards. Ride slowly
and cautiously when you ride off of established trails.
Hitting a rock or stump, or running into wires could
cause an accident and injury.
