PRE-START CHECK
Fuel Tank Quantity
Check that there
is
sufficient fuel
in
the
tank for your trip. A good habit
to
acquire
is
to refill the tank before starting out
each day.
Since mixed fuel
has
a tendency to settle
overnight, agitate the fuel
in
the tank
by
standing
on
the
footboards
and
rocking
the
vehicle from side
to
side.
Track (Daily, before first run)
Under certain climatic conditions, the
track of a
snowmobile left outdoors over-
night may freeze to the ground or snow
surface. Always make sure that the track
is
free before attempting
to
start the ve-
hicle. (This procedure will eliminate un-
necessary drive
belt wear).
Steering Operation
Check operation of steering mechanism
by rotating the
handlebars several times
from side to side.
If
roughness or bindi.ng
is
felt, check for ice or snow that may
be
blocking the mechanism.
Throttle and Brake
Depress
and
release levers several times
to check that they operate easily
and
smoothly. The throttle lever should return
to
the idle position when released. The
brake
lever should
be
fully applied when
it
is
1"
(minimum clearance) from the
handlebar grip. If the levers do not return
14
swiftly, remove cables
and/or
housings
and
replace. Re-check lever operation.
Do
not
start
the
engine until levers re-
turn
swiftly.
WARNING: Always check throttle and
brake operation before starting engine.
YOU MAY NOW START YOUR SKI-
DOO SNOWMOBILE.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
With Ski-Doo snowmobile engines,
a break-in period
is
required before
running the vehicle at
full throttle.
Manufacturer's recommendation for
the Bombardier-Rotax engine
is
ten
(10) operating hours or the equivalent
fuel
consumption,
(See
page
12
for the
equivalent fuel consumption of your
vehicle). During this period, maximum
throttle
should not exceed
%,
except
momentarily to attain cruising speed
or avoid emergency. Before you took
delivery of your new Ski-Doo snow-
mobile, the carburetor was adjusted
by your
Dealer for a rich fuel mixture.
This permits better
lubrication
and
cooling of the engine.
Do
not readjust,
regardless of excessive smoke
in
the
exhaust.
Inspection
A.~
with any precision piece of me-
c,nanical equipment, we suggest that
after the first
10
hours of operation or
30
days after purchase whichever
comes first, that each
Ski-Doo snow-
mobile
has
an
inspection check. This
inspection, which
should take approx-
imately
1112
hrs., is
at
the discretion
and expense of the
vehicle owner.
