ing to perform the initial set-up and inspection of your snowmobile

INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Everyone is a beginner the first time he sits behind the controls of a

snowmobile regardless of previous experience in driving an automo-

bile, a motorcycle or a motorboat. The safe use of your snowmobile

is dependent on many conditions such as visibility, speed, weather,

environment, traffic, vehicle condition and the condition of the driver.

Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his/her pas-

senger, if any, and of other recreationists or bystanders.

You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as

training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice-

able handling and performance differences from one snowmobile to

the other.

A snowmobile is relatively simpleto operate but like any other vehicle

or mechanical equipment, it can be hazardous if you or a passenger

are reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We encourage you to have

an Annual Safety Inspection of your snowmobile. Please contact an

authorized SKI-DOO dealer for further details. Finally, we urge you to

visit an authorized SKI-DOO dealer periodically for regular and safety

maintenance, as well as snowmobile accessories you may require.
