3.20.150 Head Lamps, Tail Lamps, Brakes and Mufflers

(a) Any snowmobile operated anywhere and at anytime within the boundaries of the Reservation shall display a lighted head lamp and tail lamp.

(b) Every snowmobile shall be equipped with at least one brake operated either by hand or foot, capable of bringing the snowmobile to a stop, under normal conditions, within 40 feet when traveling at a speed of 20 miles per hour with a 150 pound driver on a level, hard-packed snow surface. The design shall permit simple and easy adjustment to compensate for wear. There shall be no other control linked to the brake which impairs braking operation.

(c) No snowmobile shall be operated unless it is equipped with a muffler in good working order, which blends the exhaust noise into the overall engine noise and is in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise. No snowmobile shall be modified by any person in any manner that shall amplify or otherwise increase total noise emission above that emitted by the snowmobile as originally constructed, regardless of date of manufacture.
