To prevent serious injury to individuals near
the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a moving track
– always use a wide-base snowmobile stand
with a rear deflector panel
– when the track is raised off the ground, on-
ly run it at the lowest possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause debris, dam-
aged or loose studs, pieces of torn track, or
an entire severed track to be violently thrown
backwards out of the tunnel with tremendous
force, possibly resulting in the loss of a leg
or other serious injury.

tion of the E-RAVE shaft pulley. It should be in the
Close position.

ator. Refer to ENGINE MANAGEMENT.
