Riding Rules YOUTH SECTION Now you're ready to learn about driving your Polaris snowmobile. This snowmobile is not a toy. There are some things you can do and there are some things you must never do. Rules are very important when you're driving a snowmobile. Adults have riding rules, too. The rules help keep us safe when we ride. You must be at least six (6) years old before you can ride this snowmobile. The adult with you is your teacher. Always pay attention to what your teacher says so you can learn how to always drive safely. Let's learn how to ride! Always follow the safe riding rules found on the next pages. You or others around you could be seriously hurt or killed if you don't follow the safe riding rules. " " " " " " " " " Your snowmobile is made for only one rider. Never carry a passenger. A passenger will make the snowmobile harder to drive. You may lose control and hurt yourself and your passenger. Never pull anything behind your snowmobile. Make sure you know where you're going to drive before you start the engine. Make sure the area is safe all around your snowmobile. Never ride alone. An adult should always be watching you in case you need help. Always drive where an adult can see you. Never ride on public trails. When you're a beginner, always stay on level ground. Don't ride your snowmobile on roads or over railroad tracks. Your snowmobile makes noise that will keep you from hearing cars, trucks or trains that may be coming toward you. Stay away from fences. Make sure you know where all the fences are before you ride. If you drive into a fence, you could get hurt. Don't ride at night. The headlight on your snowmobile is there only so others can see you driving during the day. 21
