WARNING
NEVER disassemble or modify the drive pulley.
Improper assembly or modifications could cause the pulley
to explode violently under the stress generated by the high
rotational speed. This could lead to serious injury including
the possibility of death.
See your SKI-DOO dealer to maintain or service the drive
pulley. Improper servicing or maintenance may affect per-
formance and reduce belt life. Always respect maintenance
schedules.

WARNING
NEVER operate engine:
–
without shields and belt guard securely installed
– with hood opened or removed.
NEVER attempt to make adjustments to moving parts while
engine is running.

or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehicle must be
parked in a safe place, away from the trail.
Remove tether cord cap.
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and support it with a wide-base snow-
mobile mechanical stand with a rear deflector panel. With the engine
off, rotate the track by hand, and inspect condition. If worn or cut, or
if track fibers are exposed, or if missing or defective inserts or guides
are noted; contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
Snowmobiles Equipped with Traction Enhancing Products
If your snowmobile is equipped with a BRP approved studded track,
PROCEED WITH A VISUAL INSPECTION OF YOUR TRACK BEFORE
EACH USE.
Look for any defects, such as:
– perforations in the track
– tears in the track (particularly around traction holes on studded
tracks)
– lugs that are broken or torn off, exposing portions of rods
– delamination of the rubber
