GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1 - 2
FIRST CONTACT
The SNOW HAWK™ is a completely new type of vehicle.
Technically speaking, it is a cross between a snowmobile and a
motorcycle. However, its behaviour depends on the conditions in
which it is used. Sometimes, it will react more like a bike while
at other times, it will react more like a snowmobile or a jetski.
Describing exactly how the SNOW HAWK™ behaves is difficult.
This is why we recommend that you take the time to become
acquainted with your machine in an area free of any obstacle.
This first contact should take place at low speed, with a series of
basic manoeuvres that will allow you to learn about the reactions
of the vehicle.
A good exercise is to follow a "figure 8" trajectory because this
will allow you to experiment with right- and left-hand turns
followed by accelerating and braking.
Turning can be done by steering right or left, keeping in mind the
speed of the vehicle, the snow conditions and how quickly you
want to change direction.
◆
WARNING
Some people enter a turn by stretching out a leg on the inside of
the turn and letting the foot slide over the ground (a technique
used in motocross). We advise against this practice which
could cause severe injuries if your foot should sink into the
snow. We rather suggest keeping both feet on the footpegs as
much as possible.
An upright position, with the knees clutching the gas tank and
the elbows pointing away from the vehicle, will give a sense of
security and provide greater freedom of movement while
accelerating or slowing down.
◆
WARNING
The greatest danger in using this vehicle is the perception you
may have of how competent you are. Overestimating how
competent you are can result in hazardous situations both for
yourself and for other trail users.
Do not forget to take all the time that is necessary for you to
practice and feel comfortable at low speeds before attempting
high-speed manoeuvres. You will then be able to fully
appreciate the joy of driving.
