Riding Rules

Now you're ready to learn about driving your POLARIS snowmobile. 
This snowmobile is not a toy. There are some things you can do and 
there are some things you must never do. Rules are very important when 
you're driving a snowmobile. Adults have riding rules, too. The rules 
help keep us safe when we ride.

You must be at least six (6) years old before you can ride this snowmo-
bile. The adult with you is your teacher. Always pay attention to what 
your teacher says so you can learn how to always drive safely.

Let's learn how to ride!

Your snowmobile is made for only one rider. Never carry a passenger. 

A passenger will make the snowmobile harder to drive. You may lose 
control and hurt yourself and your passenger.

Never pull anything behind your snowmobile.
Make sure you know where you're going to drive before you start the 

engine. Make sure the area is safe all around your snowmobile.

Never ride alone. An adult should always be watching you in case 

you need help. Always drive where an adult can see you.

Never ride on public trails. 
When you're a beginner, always stay on level ground.
Don't ride your snowmobile on roads or over railroad tracks. Your 

snowmobile makes noise that will keep you from hearing cars, trucks 
or trains that may be coming toward you.

Stay away from fences. Make sure you know where all the fences are 

before you ride. If you drive into a fence, you could get hurt.

Don't ride at night. The headlight on your snowmobile is there only so 

others can see you driving during the day.

Always follow the safe riding rules found on the next pages. You or 
others around you could be seriously hurt or killed if you don't follow 
the safe riding rules.

Riding Rules

Always wear the right kind of clothing when you ride your snowmo-

bile. Always wear a helmet with a face shield or goggles. Wear a 
warm jacket and snowpants. Make sure your clothing fits properly. 
Tight clothing could keep you from moving easily. Baggy clothing 
could hang down and get caught in the track or another moving part. 
Never wear a long scarf. Wear warm snowmobile boots and gloves, 
and make sure your boot laces are tied. If you have long hair, tie it up 
or put it inside your helmet or jacket.

Learn if there are lakes, rivers, ponds and ditches in your driving area. 

Stay away from them. Never ride on frozen water. Your snowmobile 
could fall through the ice into the water and you could drown or 
freeze to death.

Always be alert and pay attention to where you're driving. Always 

watch out for objects or people in your driving area and stay a safe 
distance away from them.

space to stop your snowmobile.

Ride your snowmobile only where you know it's safe to drive and 

where you have permission to drive.

Always be a polite driver. Don’t drive through the flower garden or
