Check brake lever travel
Depress the brake lever fully. Mea-
sure the clearance between the lever
and brake block. Clearance should be
no more than 3/4" (1.9 cm).
Excessive travel indicates a need to
adjust the brake cable. Refer to the
mechanical brake adjustment infor-
mation on page 56.

Secure the hood
The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving and hot
parts as well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions.
Never operate a snowmobile with the hood open or removed.
n
Remove the ignition key
Don't tempt someone to steal or ride your snowmobile without permis-
sion by leaving the key in the ignition. Always remove the key and store
it in a safe location.
