SAFETY Operator Safety Driving on Slippery Surfaces WARNING! Driving on ice or hard-packed snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in serious injury or death. Slow down and use caution. If driving on ice or other slippery surfaces is unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate at speeds no faster than a walk. Never attempt an abrupt change of direction. The chance of "spin-out" increases under these conditions. Driving in Hilly Terrain WARNING! Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of balance and snowmobile rollover, causing serious injury or death. Use caution and good judgement when driving in hilly terrain. Use extra caution when operating in hilly terrain. If climbing a hill is unavoidable, keep your weight low and forward. If you must cross the face of a slope, keep your weight on the uphill side of the snowmobile to maintain proper balance and avoid possible rollover. Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to obstacles, sharp drops or other people or vehicles that may be on the other side of the hill. If you're unable to continue up a hill, turn the snowmobile downhill before it loses momentum. If this isn't possible, spin the track just enough to dig in to prevent it from rolling back down the hill. Stop the engine and set the parking brake (if equipped). Keeping away from the downhill side of the snowmobile, pull the rear of the snowmobile around and point the front end and skis downhill. Remount the snowmobile, restart the engine, release the parking brake, and descend the hill carefully. 18
