ICE AND SNOW BUILD-UP
WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering and braking of your snow
bike, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the snow bike free of snow and
ice.
Before driving, manually turn the ski to the left and right to be sure ice and snow
are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty is encountered,
remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
WARNING
Never attempt an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery
surfaces. Proceed slowly and use extra caution. Driving on ice or hard-packed
snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in loss of control
and serious injury or death. Slow down and use extra caution when operating
on slippery surfaces.
INADEQUATE SNOW CONDITIONS
Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the front ski
and skags. The ST 93 Ripper is designed to be ridden in inadequate snow
conditions or no snow when the front ski is removed and front host bike wheel is
installed.
OPERATING IN DEEP SNOW
If the snow bike becomes stuck in snow, clear the track and tunnel area of snow,
then step down the snow in front of the snow bike so that when the throttle is
opened, the snow bike will be able to climb up and over the snow.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snow bike and reduce
your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep the engine from
stalling, allowing the engine's compression to help slow the snow bike and keep
it from rolling freely downhill.
WARNING
When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes
may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake failure.
Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also cause
an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of
brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.
