WARNING!
Most components of this snowmobile are built with parts dimensioned in the metric
system. Most fasteners are metric and must not be replaced by customary fasteners
or vice versa.
BRAKE-IN PERIOD
It is important for the long lasting, good performance of snowmobile and engine break-in,
that break-in period for snowmobile is performed in right way. A break-in period 15 operating
hours - 500 km is required before running the snowmobile at full throttle. During this period,
maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4. However use wide open throttle from time to time
and let engine run maximum rpm’s about 10 s. This will avoid the spark plugs to become
sooty.
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.
•
In forest it often is easier to drive on your knees. Center of gravity is as much high
that the snowmobile can be turned rather quickly and you still can drive under the
trees.
•
You can climb a steep slope obliquely. In that case you move the center of gravity
to the side by standing with both feets on the same footboard and by hanging
down as much that the snowmobile keeps the horizontal position.
•
Especially in soft snow it is important to move the center of gravity forward —
backward. The main rule is that you have such a position that the front of the
snowmobile runs up the snow.
•
If the rack is loaded, the location of the center of gravity changes. The driver has to
move forward in order to achieve similar situation.
•
The driving with a full loaded sleigh is different. The weight of the sleigh and the
pulling capacity needed try to raise the front of the snowmobile and then the
steerability becomes worse.
