tion of baking soda and water. Rinse and
dry
well. After reconnecting, coat battery
terminals and connectors with petroleum
jelly.
CAUTION:
00
not allow cleaning solu-
tion to enter battery. It will destroy the
chemical properties
of
the electrolyte.
(M2) Carburetor Flange Nuts
After the first 2 hours of operation, check
tightness of carburetor flange nuts. Tight-
en
if necessary (See Fig. 14).

(MS) Brake
The brake mechanism
on
your snowmo-

still 1 inch mini-
mum from handlebar grip.
If
a minor adjustment
is
indicated: Slack-
en

increase lever clearance. Turn each nut
vice versa to decrease (See Fig. 15).
To
proceed with major adjustment:
Slacken off the nut retaining brake cable
to lower brake lever. Adjust cable to re-
quired length and retighten nut. (See
Fig. 15). Ensure that
minor adjustment
nuts are located approximately half way
on
adjuster threads.
(M6) Steering Adjustments
Skis should
be
parallel to each other.
To
check,
use
metal tape and measure di-
stance between skis
at
front and back.
If
out of alignment:
1.
Using wrench, loosen the lock nuts
(2)
of the LONGER tie rod.
2.
Turn tie rod manually, until skis are
parallel to each other. (See Fig. 2).

pulley guard then check engine mount
nuts. Retighten if necessary.
