Driving in Hilly Terrain
Operating in hilly terrain requires extreme caution to maintain balance
and avoid roll-over. If climbing a hill is unavoidable, keep all your
weight low and forward.
If you must cross the face of a slope, keep your weight on the uphill
side of the machine to maintain proper balance and avoid possible
roll-over.
Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to
obstacles, sharp drops, or other people or vehicles that may be on the
other side of the hill.
If you’re unable to continue up a hill, turn the machine downhill before
it loses momentum. If this isn’t possible, spin the track just enough to
dig in to prevent it from rolling back down the hill. Stop the engine
and set the parking brake (if equipped). Keeping away from the
downhill side of the machine, pull the rear of the snowmobile around
and point the front end and skis downhill. Remount the machine,
restart the engine, release the parking brake, and descend the hill
carefully.
Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss
of balance and machine roll-over, causing serious injury or death.
Use caution and good judgement when driving in hilly terrain.
