OPERATOR’S MANUAL
INSTRUCTIONS
A snowmobile is a terrain vehicle demanding the driving technique
of its own. In the following you get some tips how to handle the
snowmobile in order to be able to enjoy its good performance.
· The snowmobile starts, when you press the throttle lever
and stops when you loose it. Step properly on the gas at
once so that the variator gets hold on the variator belt and
does not slide. N.B. Do not, however, accelerate too strongly.
· Remember that the variator belt needs warming up by careful
driving before it can be loaded in full.
A new belt needs about 25 km’s running period.
BRAKE-IN PERIOD
It is important for the long lasting and capasity of the snowmobile
and the engine that the running-in is performed in the right way.
Do not drive at full throttle during the first 500 km (about 15
hours). However, kick down the throttle lever every now and
then and let he engine be at maximum revolutions about 10
second’s time. So the spark plugs do not become sooty. It is to be
recommended to use the range “from 1/2 to 3/4 throttle lever
press in”.
DRIVING POSITION
· When driving e.g. in the forest it is easier to turn the
snowmobile if you lean the snow mobile to inside of turning.
· When driving on a track and on even terrain, e.g. on ice covered
lake you can sit = denter of gravity is down. The snowmobile
runs steadily.
· If you stand on the footboards, you can better use your own
weight for leaning the snowmobile and so to “smoothe” the
driving on bumpy terrain.
