Equipping a Snowmobile

Your snowmobile should have the following equipment.

• Working headlight with a clear lens
• Red rear light
• Windshield free from sharp or jagged edges, or eye protection
• Fully functional brake in good condition
• Efficient exhaust system
  • Snowmobiles manufactured after February 1, 2007, must display a visible and unaltered “SSCC Certified” marking, issued by the Snowmobile Safety and Certification Committee (SSCC), on all critical components of the exhaust system.
  • Snowmobiles with modified exhaust systems that amplify or increase total noise emissions beyond the original construction are illegal, regardless of the date of manufacture.
  • Snowmobiles equipped with replacement “after-market” exhaust systems that exceed the manufacturer’s original equipment specifications are illegal.

While on the SSTS, you must wear:

• A safety helmet approved by the Department of Transportation
• Eyeglasses, goggles, or face shield, if a windshield is not present on the snowmobile
