Operation
34
snowmobile from the uphill side. Restart the
engine, release the parking brake, and de-
scend the hill.
WARNING
EWS00230
Side hills and steep slopes are not recom-
mended for a novice snowmobiler.
Riding downhill
When riding downhill, keep speed to a mini-
mum. It is important to apply just enough
throttle to keep the clutch engaged while de-
scending the hill. This will allow you to use en-
gine compression to help slow the
snowmobile, and to keep the snowmobile
from rolling freely down the hill. Also apply the
brake frequently, with light pressure.
WARNING
EWS00240
Use extra caution when applying the brake
during a descent. Excessive braking will
cause the drive track to lock, causing a
loss of control.
Traversing a slope
WARNING
EWS00250
Traversing slopes is not recommended for
a novice snowmobiler.
Traversing a slope requires you to properly
position your weight to maintain proper bal-
ance. As you travel across the slope, lean
your body to position your weight towards the
uphill side. A recommended riding position is
to kneel with the knee of your downhill leg on
the seat and the foot of your uphill leg on the
running board. This position will make it easi-
er for you to shift your body weight as needed.
Snow and ice are slippery, so be prepared for
the possibility that your snowmobile could be-
gin to slip sideways on the slope. If this hap-
pens, steer in the direction of the slide if there
are no obstacles in your path. As you regain
proper balance, gradually steer again in the
direction you wish to travel.
If your snowmobile starts to tip, steer down
the hill to regain balance.
WARNING
EWS00260
If you are unable to maintain correct bal-
ance, and your snowmobile is going to tip
over, dismount your snowmobile immedi-
ately on the uphill side.
Ice or icy surface
Operating on ice or icy surfaces can be very
dangerous. Traction for turning, stopping, and
starting is much less than that on snow.
WARNING
EWS00270
When you have to operate on ice or icy
surfaces, drive slowly and cautiously.
Avoid accelerating, turning, and braking
rapidly. Steering is minimal and uncon-
trolled spins are an ever-present danger.
