The operator of the Snowdog should always operate it with
safety pin strap belt around his hand. If the operator should
leave the machine during a movement, the safety pin will
leave the button thereby turning the engine off.
5.6 Reverse gearbox (if available)
Choosing the direction of moving:
To shift the gear into the “forward” position, stop the
Snowdog and switch on the parking brake. Reduce the
engine to idle. Make sure the CVT belt is stoped rotating.
Switch the lever forward as shown on the picture. Slowly
start moving.
To shift the gear into the “reverse” position, stop the
Snowdog and switch on the parking brake. Reduce the
engine to idle. Make sure the CVT belt is stoped rotating.
Switch the lever backward as shown on the picture. Slowly
start moving.
If the CVT belt is moving or there are difficulties with shifting
gears, shut off the engine, switch off the parking brake and
rock the Snowdog back and forth.
!
Warning
Never shift gears if the CVT driven pulley is
rotating.
Never change the direction of moving when the
parking brake is switched off. Never start moving
while the parking brake is switched on.
Never use the full throttle immediately after the
shift of the gear.
Start moving smoothly, with minimal possible
speed. For the first couple of meters after the
shift, move with the lowest possible engine load.
5.7 DC outlet
The DC outlet can be used for plugging lighting devices,
radio devices, etc. The outlet should be used only when the
engine is running.
Maximum values permitted for using the outlet:
•
rated voltage — 12 V;
•
maximum power — 20 W (1.6 A).
!
Warning
When the outlet is not in use it must always be
covered by a cap.
Do not plug in external power consuming devices which
require more power than the aforementioned maximum
value.
If external power consuming devices will be used while the
engine is not running, the battery may lose its charge and
it will be impossible to start the engine using the electric
starter.
Do not use car cigarette lighter and other accessories with
plugs that can produce heat as this can damage the outlet.
