Safety information 8. 9. If you swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline into your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash your skin with soap and water, and change your clothes. Wear protective clothing. Wear an approved helmet, and a face shield or goggles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens that will permit use of your thumbs and fingers for operation of the controls. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Operation 1. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine to transport the snowmobile in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous. Be careful where you ride. There may be obstacles hidden beneath the snow. Stay on established trails to minimize your exposure to hazards. Ride slowly and cautiously when you ride off of established trails. Hitting a rock or stump, or running into wires could cause an accident and injury. This snowmobile is not designed for use on surfaces other than snow or ice. Use on dirt, sand, grass, rocks, or bare pavement may cause loss of control and may damage the snowmobile. Avoid operating on glare ice, or on snow which has a lot of dirt or sand mixed in. Operation under such conditions will damage or result in rapid wear of ski runners, drive track, slide runners, and drive sprockets. Always ride with other snowmobilers when going on a ride. You may need help if you run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage your snowmobile. Many surfaces such as ice and hardpacked snow require much longer stopping distances. Be alert, plan ahead and begin decelerating early. The best braking method on most surfaces is to release the throttle and apply the brake gently- not suddenly. 2
