PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Steering System

Manually turn the skis completely to the right and to the left. If any

difficulty is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be

obstructing the steering linkage. Make sure all greasable components

are properly lubricated.

Track Condition

Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time in marginal

lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, and

cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would

include frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and

no-snow conditions.

NOTE:

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or in poor

lubrication conditions is not covered by warranty.

Hood Latches

The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving parts

and aids in sound emission control and other functions.

Under no

circumstances

should your snowmobile be operated with the hood open

or removed.

Oil Level

Always check the oil level on the dipstick before each ride and when

refueling. The dipstick is located on the lower left side of the engine.

Maintain the oil level between the

SAFE

and

ADD

marks on the

dipstick. See page 64.

Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.

Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the

possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control

resulting in serious injury or death.
