Avoid road traveling. If you must do so and it is permitted, reduce
speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn on pav-
ing. When crossing a road, make a full stop, then look carefully in
both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be wary of parked
vehicles.
Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snowmo-
bile in front of you slows for any reason, its driver and passenger
could be harmed through your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping
distance between you and the snowmobile in front of you. De-
pending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a little more
space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driv-
ing.
Make certain you check the throttle movement prior to starting the
snowmobile to ascertain that the throttle cable is properly opera-
tional. If not, turn off the machine by pushing the emergency stop
switch, pulling the tether cord or by turning off the ignition. Correct
the problem before the snowmobile is operated. Be prepared to
immediately respond should a throttle malfunction occur.
