RIDING THE VEHICLE
fmo2008-003-004
Rider Position (Reverse Operation)
We recommend sitting on your snow-
mobile when operating in reverse.
Avoid standing up. Your weight could
shift forward against throttle lever
while operating in reverse, causing
an unexpected acceleration.
WARNING
Unexpected acceleration when
snowmobile operates in reverse
can cause a loss of control.
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only, others can allow one
passenger only, and others can allow
up to two passengers. Refer to the
indications on the vehicles to know if
any particular snowmobile can accom-
modate passengers or not, and if so,
how many. Always respect those indi-
cations. Overloading is dangerous be-
cause snowmobiles are not designed
for it.
Even when passengers are allowed,
you must make sure that the persons
who would like to become passengers
are physically fit for snowmobiling.
WARNING
Any passenger must be able to
firmly lay his feet on the footrests
and keep his hands on the hand-
holds or seat strap at all times
when seated. Respecting those
physical criteria is important to en-
sure that the passenger is stable
and to reduce the risks of ejection.
On snowmobiles allowing two passen-
gers, if you have an adult and a child for
passenger, BRP recommends that the
child sits in the center location. This
allows an adult sitting in the rear seat
to keep a visual contact with the child
and hold him if necessary. In addition,
the child is best protected against the
wind and cold temperature if seated in
the center location.
Each operator has a responsibility to
ensure the safety of his passengers
and should inform them of snowmobil-
ing basics.
WARNING
– Passengers must only sit on
designated passenger seats.
Never allow anyone to sit be-
tween the handlebar and the
operator.
– Each passenger seat must have
a strap or handholds and meet
SSCC standards.
– Passengers and operators must
always wear an approved hel-
mets and warm clothing appro-
priate for snowmobiling. Make
sure that no skin is exposed.
– Once underway, if a passenger
feels uncomfortable or inse-
cure for any reason, he must
not wait, and tell the driver to
slowdown or stop.
Riding with passengers on board is dif-
ferent than riding alone. The operator
has the benefit of knowing what will
be the next maneuver and is able to
