WARNING
When starting the snowmobile
in an emergency situation, using
drive pulley, do not reinstall the
belt guard and return slowly to
have snowmobile repaired.
Towing an Accessory
Always use a rigid towbar to tow an ac-
cessory. Any towed accessory should
have reflectors on both sides and at
the rear. Check local laws for brake
light(s) requirements.

WARNING
Never tow an accessory with a
rope. Always use a rigid towbar.
Using a rope would result in a col-
lision between the object and the
snowmobile and possibly in a tip
over in case of a rapid deceleration
or on a downward slope.
Towing Another
Snowmobile
If a snowmobile is disabled and must
be towed use a rigid towbar, remove
the drive belt from disabled snowmo-
bile and tow at moderate speed.
CAUTION: Always remove the drive
belt of the snowmobile that is to be
towed to prevent damage to its belt
and drive system.
In an emergency situation only, if a
rigid towbar is not available, a rope can
be used provided you proceed with
extra caution. (In some areas, it may
be illegal to do so. Check with state
or local authorities).
Remove the drive belt, attach the rope
to the ski legs (spindles), have some-
one sit on the towed snowmobile to
activate the brake, and tow at low
speed.
CAUTION: In order to prevent dam-
age to the steering system, never
attach the tow rope to the ski loops
(handles).

WARNING
Never ride at high speed when
towing a disabled snowmobile.
Proceed slowly with extra caution.
