RIDING THE VEHICLE
Include other items depending on the
length and time of your ride.
Riding Position
Your riding position and balance are
the two basic principles of making your
snowmobile go where you want it to.
When turning on the side of a hill, you
must be ready to shift body weight to
help it turn in the desired direction. You
must never attempt this maneuvering
by placing feet outside of the vehi-
cle. Experience will teach you how
much lean to put into turns at different
speeds and how much you will have
to lean into a slope to maintain proper
balance.
Generally, the riding position for best
balance and control is sitting. How-
ever, the posting, kneeling or standing
positions are also used under certain
conditions.
The novice driver should become fa-
miliar with the snowmobile through
practice on a level area at slow speeds
before venturing afield.
WARNING
Do not attempt any maneuvers if
they are beyond your abilities.
Sitting
Feet on the running boards, body mid-
way back on seat is an ideal position
when operating the snowmobile over
familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and
hips should remain flexible to absorb
shocks.

Posting
A semi-sitting position with the body
off the seat and the feet under the body
in a sort of squatting posture, thus al-
lowing the legs to absorb the shocks
when traveling over uneven terrain.
Avoid abrupt stops.

Kneeling
This position is achieved by placing
one foot firmly on the running board
and the opposite knee on the seat.
Avoid abrupt stops.

Standing
Place both feet on the running boards.
Knees should be flexed to absorb the
shock from surface bumps. This is an
effective position to see better and
to shift weight as conditions dictate.
Avoid abrupt stop.
