SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate and freezes
over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempting to turn or brake on
this surface could cause your vehicle to spin out of control. Never brake or
attempt speeding or turning on glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a
condition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
– Never “jump” with your snowmobile.
– When riding in group, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and ice can be thrown
back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition, when “gunning” the
throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an irregular snow surface for others.
– Riding in group is fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake others in the
group. A less experienced operator might try to do the same as you and fail.
When riding with others, limit your abilities to the experience of others.
– In case of an emergency, press down on the engine emergency stop switch,
then apply brake.
– Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
– Never run the engine in a non-ventilated area and/or if vehicle is left unattended.
– Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in
reverse.
– Always remove the tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch when vehicle is
not in operation in order to prevent accidental engine starting, to avoid unautho-
rized use by children or others or theft.
– NEVER stand behind or near a rotating track. Debris could be projected causing
severe injuries. To remove packed snow or ice, stop engine, tilt and hold vehicle
on its side and use screwdriver.
– Do not stud the track unless it has been approved for studs. At speed, a studded
track that has not been approved for studs could tear and separate from vehicle.
See an authorized Lynx dealer for current specific studding availability and appli-
cations.
– You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you MUST only use the
BRP approved type stud for use on Lynx snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use con-
ventional studs because the track thickness is thinner then our standard tracks.
The stud could tear off of track and separate from vehicle.
– Always wear an approved helmet and follow the same dressing guidelines as
those recommended for the operator and described in this guide.
– Make sure that you are able to achieve a stable stance, both feet resting posi-
tively on the footboards of footrests with good grip, and that you are able to hold
on firmly to the handholds.
– Do not forget, with 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the
passenger. Always remember that the snowmobile handling, stability and brak-
ing distance may be affected when riding with a passenger.
– Before riding the vehicle, ask your passenger to inform you to slowdown or
stop immediately if he feels uncomfortable or insecure during the ride. Keep a
watchful eye on your passenger while riding.
