cretion and expense of the snowmo-
bile owner.

step 12), start the engine. The warning
icon should go out within five seconds.
If it does, proceed to step 14.
NOTE: On the 7000, the engine
may need to be started 2-3 times
before it will stay running.

go out, shut the engine off immedi-
ately and repeat step 11; then place
the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and repeat step 13. If the warn-

snowmobile owner.
14. Shut the engine off; then add oil to
the oil tank until oil is visible half-
way up in the sight glass.
NOTE: If the oil and engine are not
at operating temperature, the oil
level may read too low. Always make
sure the engine is at operating tem-
perature before checking the oil.
15. Install the access plate and torx-head
screws beneath the snowmobile;
then install the hood and access pan-

level with the engine cold.

Locate the filler neck located above the
resonator; then remove the coolant cap
from the filler neck. Verify that the coolant
is at the bottom of the tab in the filler neck.

NOTE: Under normal conditions
checking only the overflow tank
(located above the drive clutch) is
acceptable. Only if this tank does not
have coolant should the operator
have to remove the hood and check
the level at the filler neck.
Locate the coolant tank above the drive
clutch; then remove the plug from the
coolant tank. Add coolant to the full level
on the tank. Install the plug.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine
with the bleed bolt open.
