TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
In Deep Snow
When operating the snowmobile in deep snow, it may be necessary
to vary the position of front spring, rear suspension, stopper strap
and/or riding position, to change the angle at which the track rides on
the snow. Operator’s familiarity with the various adjustments as well
as snow conditions will dictate the most efficient combination.
