OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING AND STOPPING
ENGINE
It is imperative that the brake system
be checked for wear and proper
operation and that all safety checks
found in the accompanying Snow-
mobile Safety Handbook be per-
formed before attempting to start the
engine.
Also, on carbureted mod-
els, be sure the correct carburetor
main jet(s) for the operating tem-
perature, altitude, and gasoline
are being used, and on 2-stroke
EFI models, be sure the correct
fuel designation connection/ dis-
connection (for the type of gaso-
line being used) has been selected.
After the engine has been started,
check the headlights (high and low
beam), taillight, and brakelight to be
sure they are working properly and
adjusted correctly. Make sure all
lights are clean to provide maximum
illumination. The headlight and tail-
light must be clean and must be illu-
minated whenever the engine is
running.
NOTE: If equipped with reverse,
make sure the reverse shift lever
is in the forward position before
starting the engine.
1. Test the operation of the brake
system by compressing the
brake lever. The brake lever
must feel firm when com-
pressed; then while holding the
brake lever in the compressed
position, measure the distance
between the brake lever and the
handlebar (on hydraulic brake
models) or between the brake
l e v e r a n d l e v e r s t o p ( o n
mechanical brake models). The
distance must be greater than
2.54 cm (1 in.) on hydraulic
brake models or within a range
of 6-13 mm (1/4-1/2 in.) on
mechanical brake models.
734-505A

! CAUTION
On 2-stroke EFI models, be sure
an adequate amount of gasoline
is in the gas tank. If you run out
of gasoline, engine damage may
occur.
