Sometimes the throttle on your snowmobile
may stick due to freezing water. Check
your throttle before you start out. If this
should happen to you—DON'T PANIC. Just
turn off the ignition key and let the machine
come to a safe stop.

How to ride like the experts
do on any kind of snow, If you
learn to balance your
snowmobile right in relation to
the slant of the terrain, you can
travel anywhere the machine will
go without flipping or running
aground in deep snow, Begin by
memorizing these basic riding
positions,
1. When you start, sit straight
and drive slowly on flat ground.
Practice using throttle and
brake. Turn wide circles, figure
eights.
2. Now pick up speed and
keep practicing turns. To go
right lean forward and out to the
right of the machine, and turn
the skis to the right.
3. Do the exact opposite to
turn left. As you balance, your
weight is put on the skis, The

Never jump a snowbank before first finding out what may be en the
other side. You may be jumping into the path of another snowmobile,
onto a group of playing children, or into the middle of a highway.
If the back of your machine should become stuck in
deep snow, do not put your hands or feet near the track
while it is driving in attempting to free your machine.
Simply lift out the back end of the snowmobile and drive
it out while kneeling with one leg on the seat arid
pushing off with your free leg. Or push the machine out
by the handlebars while standing next to it
and squeezing the throttle lightly.
Knowing ice conditions on any lake or
river is a must. DON'T attempt to
cross before checking the thickness
of the ice. Your life may depend on it.
This problem is the biggest known
cause of snowmobiling fatalities. Ask
people acquainted with an area
whether the ice is safe before
taking your machine on it.
more you hang out, the tighter
Kill be your turn.
4. You'll steer better,
standing and leaning forward,
one knee on the seat for
stability. A great stance for a
series of one-direction turns.
5, Travelling up a steep
mountain, lean your rear end
way out, in the direction of the
up slope, Crouch a bit. The
steeper the slope, the further out
you'll be.
6. If you stand back, over the
track, you'll get good speed but
less control. This is the only way
to cross a road — always go at a
90 degree angle.
7. When woods riding, you'll
have better control and visibility
on your knees. Practice leaning
quickly to both sides in order to
avoid trees.
