"Alright, in this clip we're going to go over the basics of sled operation. So, what we've got here is we've got a snowmobile. It's a 440cc liquid-cooled motor. It's got a brake and gas. It's pretty simple to operate. It has a shutoff switch, and you can see this sled's for trail riding, so you don't want to go in any deep powder with one like this. The deep-powder sled has a little different design, so if you rent one and it looks like this, you don't want to go in too deep a powder. And you've got skis up front, which can be made of metal or plastic, and they're going to do your steering. You've got your handlebar here and it's just like you're riding a motorcycle or an all-terrain vehicle. Turn left to go left, right to go right. And the power is transferred to this track down at the bottom. It's made of rubber, and it's got a wide surface area. So it displaces a lot of the weight from the snowmobile, and that's why it doesn't sink; whereas if you took your ATV out into deep snow, it would just sink right in; you wouldn't go anywhere. Alright, so before you go out, your gas tank's here, and it's got a fuel gauge on it. And you want to make sure you've got a full tank of gas, because these burn a lot of fuel. So also we've got a hand-warming switch. And this one is a pull start. So we have a pull starter. Some are electric start. So we also have a gear rack here, so you can tie up any of your spare gear: your snow shoes and things on the back. There is a tail light that lights up and a head light that lights up. So when you start your snow machine up, you want to make sure those are working. That way, other people on the trail can see you. And in case it gets dark, you can see your way home. "
