To set the reverse for lower elevations, continue holding the button down until
the reverse indicator light blinks slowly. Once set, it’s stored in memory until
changed, whether the machine is running or not.
DAILY STORAGE
At the end of each ride, park the snowmobile on a level surface and support it at
the rear with an appropriate track stand. The track should be suspended
approximately 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground.
Remove the key and cover the snowmobile.
TOWING
For your safety, do not attempt to use a tow hitch until you've read the following
warnings and understand the proper hitch functions.
WARNING
Objects towed with a rope have no braking power and can easily collide with
the rear of the snowmobile or other objects, resulting in serious injury or death.
DO NOT tow toboggans, sleds, saucers, or any type of vehicle with a rope.
Only a stiff metal pole connecting the towed object and the tow hitch on the
snowmobile should be used. If passengers are to be towed on a toboggan or
sled, make sure the pole is at least four feet (1.2 meters) long to prevent any
possibility of contact between the snowmobile's track and a person riding in the
towed object.
WARNING
Braking distances increase when towing loads. Slow down to maintain control
of the snowmobile.
If the snowmobile becomes inoperable and must be towed, and if it isn't possible
to use a rigid tow bar, attach the tow rope to the ski spindles (not to the ski loops)
to prevent damage to the steering components. Remove the drive belt before
towing, and have someone ride on the towed snowmobile to operate the brake
and steering when necessary.
NOTICE
Towing a disabled snowmobile with the drive belt in place can result in serious
damage to the engine and drive system. Always remove the drive belt from a
disabled snowmobile before towing.
