Railroad Crossing
Never ride on railroad tracks. It is ille-
gal. Railroad tracks and railroad rights-
of-way are private property. A snow-
mobile is no match for a train. When
crossing a railroad track, stop, look and
listen.
Night Rides
The amount of natural and artificial
light at a given time can effect your
ability to see or to be seen. Nighttime
snowmobiling is delightful. It can be
a unique experience if you acknowl-
edge your reduced visibility. Before
you start, make certain your lights
are clean and work properly.
Drive
at speeds that will allow you to stop
in time when you see an unknown
or dangerous object ahead. Stay on
established trails and never operate in
unfamiliar territory. Avoid rivers and
lakes. Guy wires, barbed wire fences,
cabled road entrances and other ob-
jects such as tree limbs are difficult
to see at night.
Never drive alone.
Always carry a flashlight. Keep away
from residential areas and respect the
right of others to sleep.
Safari Riding
Before starting out, designate a “trail
boss” to lead the party and another
person to follow-up at the end of the
party. Ensure that all members of the
party are aware of the proposed route
and destination.
Make certain that
you are carrying all necessary tools
and equipment and that you have
sufficient fuel to complete the trip.
Never overtake the trail boss or, for
that matter, any other snowmobile.
Use down-the-line hand signals to in-
dicate hazards or intent of direction
change. Assist others whenever nec-
essary.
It is always IMPORTANT to keep a
safe distance between each snowmo-
bile. Always maintain a safe interval
and allow sufficient stopping distance.
Don't be a tailgater. Know the position
of the machine ahead.
Signals
If you intend to stop, raise either hand
straight above your head. A left turn is
indicated by extending your left hand
straight out in the proper direction.
For right turns, extend the left arm and
raise the hand to a vertical position so
it forms a right angle at the elbow. Ev-
ery snowmobiler should relay any sig-
nal to the ones behind.
Trail Stops
Whenever possible, pull off the trail
when you stop. This will reduce the
hazard to other snowmobilers using
the trail.
Trails and Signs
Trail signs are used to control, direct
or regulate the use of snowmobiles on
trails. Become familiar with all signs
used in the area where you are snow-
mobiling.
Transporting and Towing
Follow transporting and towing in-
structions explained further in this
guide.
