ADULT SECTION
Pre-Ride Check
As the adult, you must teach the child the proper and safe way to ride a
snowmobile. Set boundaries and adhere to them, keeping the child's
safety foremost in your mind. Never allow the child to operate this
vehicle without adult supervision.
Inspect all items on the checklist for proper operation or condition
before each use of the snowmobile. Procedures are outlined on the
referenced pages. These checks should become automatic for the child
before each ride. As the adult teacher, you must instill in all riders the
importance of performing this Pre-Ride Check before they operate the
snowmobile.
WARNING
Serious injury or death could result if the vehicle is not inspected properly
before operation. Teach all operators to perform the following Pre-Ride Check
before each use of the snowmobile.
