SAFETY

Operator Safety

Drive Belt

Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed.

Any servicing that requires operation without a belt must be performed

by your dealer. Operation of the engine with the belt removed may

result in injury or damage to the engine.

Intake Silencer

Do not operate the engine with the intake silencer or filter removed.

Damage to the engine may occur if the intake silencer or filter are

removed.

Clutch Guard

Do not operate the engine with the clutch guard removed.

The clutch guard is designed to protect the operator from metal parts if

the clutch should fail. Although the chance of failure is extremely

remote, don't defeat the purpose of the safety guard by removing it.

Clutches

Do not attempt to service the clutches.

All clutch service must be performed by your dealer. The clutch is a

complex mechanism that rotates at high speeds. Each clutch is dynami-

cally balanced before installation. Any tampering may disrupt this pre-

cision balancing and create an unstable condition.

Maneuverability

While much control and maneuverability is achieved through the steer-

ing system and skis, maximum control is achieved by the shifting of

your body weight. Maneuverability will change for lighter operators or

machines designed to carry a load.
