Riding your snowmobile

Getting to know your snowmobile

A snowmobile is a rider active vehicle, and your riding

position and your balance are the two basic factors of

maneuvering your snowmobile.

Riding your snowmobile requires skills acquired through

practice over a period of time. Take the time to learn the

basic techniques well before attempting more difficult

maneuvers.

Riding your new snowmobile can be a very enjoyable

activity, providing you with hours of pleasure. However, it

is essential to familiarize yourself with the operation of

the snowmobile to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy

riding safely. Before operating the snowmobile, read this

Owner’s Manual completely and understand the opera-

tion of the controls.

Pay particular attention to the safety information on

pages 3-1–3-3. Please read all warning and caution

labels on your snowmobile. Also, read the Snowmobiler’s

Safety Handbook that is supplied with your snowmobile.

Learning to ride your snowmobile

Before you ride, always perform the pre-operation

checks listed on pages 8-1–8-3. The short time spent

checking the condition of the snowmobile will be

rewarded with added safety and a more reliable snow-

mobile. Always wear the proper clothing for both warmth

and to help protect you from injury if an accident occurs.

Become familiar with operating your snowmobile at low

speeds, even if you are an experienced rider. Do not

attempt to operate at maximum performance until you

are totally familiar with the snowmobile’s handling and

performance characteristics.

Set the parking brake and follow the instructions on

pages 7-1–7-2 to start the engine. Once it has warmed

up, you are ready to begin riding your snowmobile.
