SAFETY
Operator Safety
Intake Silencer
Do not operate the engine with the intake silencer or filter removed.
Damage to the engine may occur if the intake silencer or filter are
removed.
Clutches
Do not attempt to service the clutches.
All clutch service must be performed by your dealer. The clutch is a
complex mechanism that rotates at high speeds. Each clutch is dynami-
cally balanced before installation. Any tampering may disrupt this preci-
sion balancing and create an unstable condition.
Cold Weather Drive-Away
Whenever your snowmobile has been parked for a length of time, espe-
cially overnight, always make sure the skis and track are loosened from
ice and snow before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with enough
authority to put the machine into motion, but always operate within
safety limits. See Starting the Engine on page 49.
Maneuverability
Control and maneuverability comes not only through the steering and
skis, maximum control is achieved by shifting of body weight. Maneu-
verability will change for lighter operators or machines designed to
carry a load.
