lubricant level is satisfactory. If the lubricant level
is at or below the add mark, proceed to step 4.

level stick filler hole. When the oil level is correct,
install the oil level stick.

NOTE: If excessive oil deposits are noticed, the
chain case must be serviced. Also, when the oil
level is at the add mark, approximately 60 ml (2 fl

chain case.

It is very important that the bellcrank is greased on a
monthly basis using a good low-temperature grease.
The bellcrank should also be greased after trailering
the snowmobile on an open trailer. Pump grease into
the grease fittings and wipe excess grease from the
bellcrank.


NOTE: Prior to tipping the snowmobile on its
side, apply the brake and set the brake lever lock.
3. Remove ice and snow buildup from the skid frame
