Operation Warning

SAFETY

Safety Labels and Locations

Operation Warning

• When operating with a passenger (on approved models only) 

reduce speed and allow extra space for steering and stopping. A 
passenger reduces your ability to control the vehicle.

• When operating on hard-packed snow, ice, or when crossing roads, 

steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and 
allow extra space to turn or stop.

• To maintain vehicle control on ice or hard-packed surfaces, you 

should have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See 
Owner's Manual for proper use of traction products.

• Repeated stops from high speed may cause fading or sudden loss 

of braking ability.

• Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave 

brake engaged for more than five minutes.

• Before starting engine, check throttle, brake, and steering for proper 

operation. Make sure hood and side panels are latched. Be seated 
and in position to control the vehicle.

Oil injection system: Use unmixed fuel only. Check oil level when 
refueling.
