

NOTE: The rail wear strips will

wear rapidly if the snowmobile is
operated on terrain on which the
snow cover is minimal. Loose snow
is required to cool and lubricate the
wear strips and prevent accelerated
wear.

Recoil Starter Air

Vents

It is important for proper engine cooling

that the air vents located on the recoil

starter are kept clean. These air vents

should be checked periodically and

cleaned if necessary.

0744-923

Lights

The correct headlight bulb is p/n 8ML-

H4314-00. The correct taillight (LED) is

p/n 8ML-H4710-00.
To change the headlight bulb, use the fol-

lowing procedure:

1. Open the hood; then disconnect the

harness connector from the head-

light bulb.

2. Remove the bulb from the housing

by rotating it counterclockwise until

loose.

3. Install the new bulb into the hous-

ing; then rotate the bulb clockwise to

lock it into place.

Adjusting Headlight Aim

The headlight can be adjusted for vertical

aim of the HIGH/LOW beam. The geo-

metric center of HIGH beam zone is to be

used for vertical aiming.

1. Position the snowmobile on a level

floor so the headlight is approxi-

mately 8 m (25 ft) from an aiming

surface (wall or similar surface).



NOTE: There should be an “aver-

age” operating load on the snowmo-
bile when adjusting headlight aim.

2. Measure the distance from the floor

to midpoint of the headlight.

3. Using the measurement obtained in

step 2, make a horizontal mark on

the aiming surface.

4. Make a vertical mark which inter-

sects the horizontal mark on the aim-

ing surface directly in front of the

headlight.

5. Engage the brake lever lock and start

the engine. Move the headlight dim-

mer switch to the HIGH beam posi-

tion. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.

6. Observe the headlight beam aim.

Proper aim is when the most intense

beam is centered on the vertical

mark 50 mm (2 in.) below the hori-

zontal mark on the aiming surface.

SNO-955A

7. Adjust the headlight using the screw

on the backside of the headlight until

correct aim is obtained. Shut the

engine off; then disengage the brake

lever lock.

CAUTION

Serious overheating of the engine
and engine damage will result if the
air vents are not kept clean.

CAUTION

Do not touch the glass portion of the
bulb. If the glass portion is touched,
it must be cleaned with a dry cloth
before installing.
