SPECIAL OPERATIONS
Riding at High Altitudes
If you ride at altitudes above 600 m (2000 ft), your snowmobile
should be modified. Refer to an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. Sum-
mit models are factory calibrated for high altitude. These models
must be converted for sea level utilization.
CAUTION:
Do not change original factory calibration if snow-
mobile is used below 600 m (2000 ft) (except Summit models).
Engine Overheating
Engine overheating pilot lamp will light up if engine is too hot.
Reduce snowmobile speed and run snowmobile in loose snow or
stop engine immediately.
Check for adequate coolant level. See an authorized SKI-DOO deal-
er.
Fuel Flooded Engine
WARNING
Never depress throttle when starting engine, even if flooded
with gas.
Install new spark plugs and restart engine.
Rear Suspension Slider Shoe Sticking
Slider shoes are cooled and lubricated by snow. When riding at mod-
erate or high speed on a thin-snow-covered surface, slider shoes may
stick on metallic track guides.
Run snowmobile on a surface covered by snow or drive snowmobile
at very slow speed.
Have slider shoes inspected by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
