OPERATION
Daily Storage
At the end of each ride, park the
snowmobile on a level surface
and support it at the rear with an
appropriate track stand. The
track should be suspended
approximately 4″ (10 cm) off
the ground.
Remove the key and cover the
machine.
Towing
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 person riding in the towed object.
Braking distances increase when towing loads. Slow down to
maintain control of the snowmobile.
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.
CAUTION
Towing a disabled snowmobile with the drive belt in place can
result in serious damage to the engine and drive system. Always
remove the drive belt from a disabled snowmobile before towing.
