- Be sure your snowmobile is in top-notch mechanical condition at the
beginning of the winter season and throughout the months of use.
- Familiarize yourself with the snowmobile you are driving by reading
in detail the manual accompanying the snowmobile.
- Wear sensible, protective clothing designed for snowmobiling.
- Use a full-size helmet, goggles, or face shield to prevent injuries
from twigs, stones, ice chips, and flying debris.
- Avoid wearing long scarves. They may get caught in moving parts of
the snowmobile.
- Know the terrain you are going to ride. If unfamiliar to you, ask
someone who has traveled over it before.
- Know the weather forecast and especially the ice and snow conditions
in the area.
- Always use the buddy system. Never ride alone or unaccompanied.
- Do not pursue domestic or wild animals. No true sports person would
stoop to such conduct. If you see a violation of this rule, report it
to the nearest law enforcement officer.
- At all times, be sure you have a properly operating lighting system
on the snowmobile.
- Drowning is one cause of snowmobile fatalities. When not familiar
with the thickness of the ice or water currents, avoid these areas.
- Don't remove the factory installed air box or muffler to install one
that makes more noise. This would lessen the performance of your
vehicle. The manufacturer is trying hard, for the betterment of the
environment, to develop a quieter machine.
