Ice and Hard-Packed Surfaces

Steering and braking control are substantially reduced when operating on hard surfaces, hard-packed snow or icy surfaces.Teach your child to reduce speed to maintain control in all driving conditions. If necessary, limit the maximum speed of the snowmobile as outlined on Speed/Performance Regulation.

If ice or slippery conditions are unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate at speeds no faster than a walk. The skis need snow to help the snowmobile make turns. On hard surfaces the snowmobile will not make turns easily. It may be best to stop the engine, dismount, and manually move the front or rear of the snowmobile to change direction.

Never make a sharp turn on a slippery surface. The snowmobile may skid out of control. Teach all operators to drive only in approved areas within the vision of the supervising adult.

WARNING
Children must never ride on a frozen body of water. Make sure all operators understand that severe injury or death can result if the snowmobile and its rider fall through the ice.
