Deep Snow Riding
When operating the snowmobile in
deep snow, it may be necessary to vary
stopper strap length and/or riding posi-
tion, to change the angle at which the
track rides on the snow. Operator's fa-
miliarity with the various adjustments
as well as snow conditions will dictate
the most efficient combination.
