WARNING:
Determine Ice thickness before traveling over frozen water. Do not travel on ice during
thin ice conditions. Check with local authorities for ice conditions before traveling on frozen lakes,
ponds or rivers.
Operating in Reverse
WARNING:
DO NOT use reverse when your vehicle is equipped with SnoCobra skis. Operating in
reverse may cause the skis to catch the terrain and rotate upward. Serious injury and damage to
SnoCobra ski system and vehicle can occur.
Climbing, turning and descending hills
Your front brakes will not work with the SnoCobra ski system attached. Only your rear brakes will supply
braking power to the machine. Use caution and avoid climbing or descending steep hills.
Do not operate your vehicle beyond your abilities or the abilities of the vehicle. Follow your vehicle
owner’s manual regarding proper, safe operation on hills. Turning too sharp on a side hill may cause the
vehicle to roll over.
When climbing a hill, shift your weight forward and maintain your balance. Going downhill shifts your
weight towards the back. On slippery surfaces, applying too much brake may cause you to slide and lose
control.
While traveling downhill prevent sliding, and keep the rear tires or tracks turning, as this will allow you
to maintain steering control. Gently apply brakes as needed to slow descent. Avoid locking your brakes,
because locked brakes can increase the risk of sliding.
Do not attempt to side hill with the SnoCobra skis attached to the vehicle. It may cause the vehicle to
roll over.
