PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n
Hood Latches
The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving parts as
well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions. Under no
circumstances should your snowmobile be operated with the hood open
or removed. Always ensure that the hood straps are in good condition
and that the latches are securely in place before operating the snowmo-
bile.
n
Steering System
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.
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.
If your snowmobile is equipped with RIDER SELECT, perform this
check in both the full up and full down steering positions.
