IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Emergency situations are accepted haz-
ards with any moving
vehicle. A hidden
rock or stump
on
the trail, a blown fuse or
burn
light bulb while driving
at
night,
an
empty fuel tank while miles from any-
where, can
all cause varying degrees of
inconvenience.
Unlike
an
automobile, which has a dis-
tinct advantage
in
that service stations
are
usually within walking distance,
snowmobiles are specifically designed
to
travel OFF the highways. When the
unexpected happens, the driver often has
only his own ingenuity and that of his
companions to return home
safely.
Fortunately,
9 out of 10 difficulties en-
countered
on
the trail can be fixed
on
the
spot. However, you must carry
at
least a
minimum assortment of
Tools and Spare
Parts
to enable you to effect minor re-
pairs.
Emergency Materials
In
addition to those tools which the manu-
facturer provides, you
should carry the
following:
Tools
General Purpose Pliers - Adjustable
Wrench (%/1 opening) - Flashlight - Fuel
de-icer.
Spare Parts
Spark Plug - Drive belt - Headlamp
and Taillight bulbs - Light Fuse (Elec-
tric model only) - Throttle Cable and
Housing - Starting or towing rope.
IMPORTANT: Always carry spare plugs
and drive belt. Check condition of spark
plug frequently and look for signs of a
fouled or defective plug. Next to
"out
of
fuel"
worn spark plugs can cause trouble
on the trai
I.
Assisting Stranded Vehicles
It is
an
unwritten law of snowmobiling
that you go to the aid of any snowmobile
stranded
in
the field. Should another ve-
hicle have to be towed:
1.
Remove the drive belt. (See Fig. 1).
2.
Tie both skis to your vehicle.
3.
Taking the driver with you
as
a pas-
senger, tow the
vehicle back slowly.
For short distances, or if tow rope
is
un-
available, you may push both vehicle and
driver.
