OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Operation Check
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very
important prior to operating the
vehicle. Always check the prop-
er operation of critical controls,
safety features and mechanical
components before starting.
If
not done as specified here, severe
injury or death might occur.
• Remove snow and ice from body in-
cluding seat, footrests, controls and
instruments.
• Lights — The headlamp, the tail-
light and the brake light are stan-
dard equipment. Be sure lights are
clear of dirt, slush or snow and are
in good working order or condition.
• Verify that track and idler wheels
are free to turn and not frozen.
WARNING
Always use a wide base snowmo-
bile mechanical stand to properly
support vehicle during any track
verification. Slowly accelerate en-
gine in order to rotate track at
very low speed when it is not on
ground.
• Activate the brake control lever
and make sure the brake fully ap-
plies before the brake control lever
touches the handlebar grip. It must
fully return when released.
• Check the parking device. Apply
parking brake and check if it oper-
ates properly.
• Activate the throttle control lever
several times to check that it oper-
ates easily and smoothly.
WARNING
Throttle lever must operate easi-
ly and smoothly. It must return to
idle position when released.
• Check operation of tether and
engine cutout switches, ignition
switch, headlamp switch (HI-LO),
taillight, brake light and pilot lamps.
• Verify that skis and steering operate
freely. Check corresponding action
of skis versus handlebar.
• Check fuel and oil for levels and
leaks. Replenish as necessary and
see an authorized SKI-DOO dealer
in case of any leaks.
• Verify that air filter(s) is free of
snow, if so equipped.
• All storage compartments must be
properly latched and they must not
contain any heavy or breakable ob-
jects. Hood must be also properly
latched.
WARNING
All adjustable features should be
positioned at optimal setting. Se-
curely tighten all adjustment locks.
• Make certain your snowmobile is
pointed away from people or ob-
jects before you start it. No one is
to be standing in front of or in back
of the snowmobile.
• Be warmly dressed with clothing
designed for snowmobiling.
