Ice and Snow Build-up
Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice
and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty
is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing
the steering linkage.
NOTE:
If your snowmobile is equipped with RIDER SELECT, perform this
check in both the full up and full down steering positions.
Driving Downhill
When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snowmobile
and reduce your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep
the clutch engaged, allowing the engine’s compression to help slow the
snowmobile and keep it from rolling freely downhill.
WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your snowmobile,
resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of snow
and ice.
WARNING
When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes
may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake failure.
Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also cause
an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of
brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.
