OPERATION WARNINGS
Stop Engine Before Attempting Adjustments
Always Wear Clothing Designed for Snowmobiling
Clothing designed for snowmobiling is warm, comfortable and safe.
Know the Limitations of the Machine and the Skills of
the Driver
The operator should be aware that there are state and local laws governing snow-
mobile operation and that these laws should be followed. They have been estab-
lished for the protection of all snowmobile riders. Most states offer a snowmobile
safety course for children. Check your state or county agencies for this service.
This vehicle is intended for daylight use only. Check both the headlight and taillight
of the machine to ensure proper operation. IMPORTANT: The headlight and tail-
light are intended only to increase the visibility of the 120 XCR during daylight op-
eration.
WARNING
The snowmobile engine compartment contains moving parts. Shields and
guards have been provided for safety, but it is still possible to carelessly get
your hands or fingers into a moving chain or a rotating shaft. For this reason
never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Serious personal injuries
can result. The proper method is to turn off the ignition, raise the hood, make
the adjustment, secure shields and guards, secure the hood, and then re-start
the engine to check its operation. The same is true of track alignment. If the
track must be re-aligned, it is recommended that this service be performed by
your dealer.
WARNING
Always make sure the operator is wearing an approved helmet and eye
protection. Do not allow the child to wear loose clothing or long scarves be-
cause they can easily become entangled in moving parts. If your child has
long hair, be sure it is always tied up securely and tucked into the helmet or
jacket.
Be aware of the weather forecast and especially the wind chill. A table is pro-
vided on page A--12 for your reference. Be prepared. Be warm and comfort-
able.
