Week of October 16, 1972 5

Sa fety starts with knowing the regulations —

With so many snowmobiles
cruising the countryside -it is
vitally important that each own-
er. do. his’: part. to ..make
snowmobiling a welcome activity

as in rural and suburban neigh-
borhoods.
Here are some useful tips to
keep in mind:
zd Always read operating in-
_- structions supplied with your
“snowmobile. -

Always sit with both feet inside;

. the cab or on the boards but

never. locked into the foot. rests.

“On bumpy terrain place one knee

on the. seat. for.better balance.

You'll find it easier to lean into a
hill from this position. :
»/ > @..«. When travelling at night check
- your lights, avoid river and lake
“-erossings: and follow marked:

~strails to keep clear of barbed .

wire. fences.

to a complete. stop before
crossing a street’ or* highway.

. Always stop, lock and listen and:

_cross only at a 90 degree angle to
any roadway. Remember. traffic’

~ always has the right of way.

_ Check your throttle before you -

turn’ on ‘the ignition. Does. it
automatically and freely return

to the idling position when

dangerous as a loaded gun.

toward people or. property when
starting.

Never jam on the brakes, apply
steady pressure: Snow conditions

vary braking distances. Always”

allow. a wide skid margin when
turning.

half hour. Let your: friends. and
family know. where your party. is
going. .Travel.-with “extreme
caution over unfamiliar terrain..
