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.
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 preci-
sion balancing and create an unstable condition.
Cold Weather Drive-Away
Whenever your snowmobile has been parked for a length of time, espe-
cially overnight, always make sure the skis and track are loosened from
ice and snow before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with enough
authority to put the snowmobile into motion, but always operate within
safety limits and, on 2-up machines, with respect for a passenger.
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
snowmobiles designed to carry a load or a passenger.
