Engine overheating
NOTE! (4-tec only) If the buzzer activates during high temperatures, turn off the
engine by engine cut-off switch, if this is not applied and the temperature conti-
nues to increase the engine will shut down by EMS system (Engine Manage-
ment System) automatically. The vehicle will not shut down if it is being driven
and it will require that it is stopped without touching the throttle for 30 seconds
before doing so. If the buzzer activates shortly after driving again, check the
coolant level and fill it if necessary. If the buzzer still activates after shortly please
contact nearest authorized LYNX dealer for further investigation.
Fan cooled models: Shut down the engine.
Check for clogged air duct passages. Remove any foreign materials.
Check for proper fan belt condition and tension.
Liquid cooled models: Engine overheating pilot lamp will light up if engine is
too hot.
Reduce snowmobile speed and run snowmobile in loose snow or stop engine
immediately.
Check for adequate coolant level. See an authorized Lynx dealer.
Low Battery (only 4-tec models): When overheating pilot lamp light up does
the fan starts to rotate, this usually takes down the voltage level under its working
level from this point will EMS (Engine Management System) increase the idle
speed to 1500 RPM. This gives naturally more current to the battery and starts to
charge it up. If the battery pilot lamp stops lighting (in V-800 it flashes) this
means that the battery loading up. But still the idle speed does not come down at
this time, the engine must be stopped before it starts to operate in normal idle
speed which is for V-800, 1200 RPM and V-1300, 1300RPM.
Fuel flooded engine
Install new spark plugs and restart engine.
Rear suspension slider shoe sticking
Slider shoes are cooled and lubricated by snow. When riding at moderate or high
speed on a thin-snow-covered surface, slider shoes may stick on metallic track
guides.
Run snowmobile on a surface covered by snow or drive snowmobile at very low
speed.
Have slider shoes inspected by an authorized Lynx dealer.
NOTE! This situation comes up the more high profile track is. Avoid driving on
hard packed snow, ice surface or other surface, that has not enough snow to
ensure the lubrication.
It is noticeable that tracks with 35 mm or more high profile are not meant for the
trail ride (hard surface) but only for the deep snow ride. If the vehicle which is
equipped with this kind of track, is driven on hard packed snow, slider shoes may
stick on track metallic parts or the track can get damaged.
