OPERATION
Daily Storage
At the end of each ride, park the snow-
mobile on a level surface and support it
at the rear with an appropriate track
stand. The track should be suspended
approximately 4
I
(10 cm) off the
ground.
Remove the key and cover the machine.
Towing
For your safety, do not attempt to use a tow hitch until you've read the
following warnings and understand the proper hitch functions.
If the snowmobile becomes inoperable and must be towed, and if it isn't
possible to use a rigid tow bar, attach the tow rope to the ski spindles
(not to the ski loops) to prevent damage to the steering components.
Remove the drive belt before towing, and have someone ride on the
towed snowmobile to operate the brake and steering when necessary.
WARNING
Objects towed with a rope have no braking power and can easily collide with
the rear of the snowmobile or other objects, resulting in serious injury or
death. DO NOT tow toboggans, sleds, saucers, or any type of vehicle with a
rope. Only a stiff metal pole connecting the towed object and the tow hitch
on the snowmobile should be used. If passengers are to be towed on a
toboggan or sled, make sure the pole is at least four feet (1.2 meters) long to
prevent any possibility of contact between the snowmobile's track and a per-
son riding in the towed object.
Braking distances increase when towing loads. Slow down to maintain con-
trol of the snowmobile.
CAUTION
Towing a disabled snowmobile with the drive belt in place can result in seri-
ous damage to the engine and drive system. Always remove the drive belt
from a disabled snowmobile before towing.
