Towing Another Snowmobile
If a snowmobile is disabled and must be towed use a rigid towbar,
remove the drive belt 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
someone sit on the towed snowmobile to activate the brake, and tow
at low speed.
CAUTION: In order to prevent damage 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.
Transporting the Vehicle
Make sure that oil reservoir and fuel tank caps are properly installed.
Tilt bed trailers can easily be equipped with a winch mechanism to
afford maximum safety in loading. Simple as it may seem, never
drive your snowmobile onto a tilt bed trailer or any other kind of trailer
or vehicle. Many serious accidents have resulted from driving up
and over a trailer. Anchor your vehicle securely, front and rear, even
on short hauls. Be certain all equipment is securely fastened. Cover
your snowmobile when trailering to prevent road grime from causing
damage.
Be certain your trailer meets state or provincial requirement. Ensure
the hitch and safety chains are secure and the brake, turn indicators
and clearance lights all function.
