The following charts list the "most likely to occur" problems, their possible causes
and
remedies. Should
you
encounter trouble
on
the trail, first identify the symptoms
then rectify, using your manual to assist you.
What To
Do
If head lamp
is
burnt, stop engine, unlock cab latches
(2)
and
tilt cab. Unfasten bulb
retainer clips. Detach bulb
and
replace. If taillight bulb
is
burnt, expose bulb by
removing
red
plastic lens.
To
remove, pry off red plastic lens using flat bladed
screwdriver.
Remove throttle cable
and
replace. Check lever operation. If necessary replace
housing.
Do
not start the engine until levers return swiftly.
(See
Throttle
and
Brake, page 14).
If rope
is
broken inside starter unit, remove starter unit, using 10mm wrench sup-
plied
in
Tool Kit. Make a knot
at
end
of remaining rope
at
end opposite handle.
Wind remainder of rope around pulley.
Pull vigorously,
as
per usual manual start.
If rope
is
broken
at
handle, remove starter unit. Fish rope out, being careful to
retain all loose parts of unit. Wind remainder around pulley.
Start
in
usual manner.
See
your dealer for immediate repair or replacement.
In
case of major damage, remove ski coupler bolt, using wrench. Remove ski
and
return
on
remaining ski. Shift body weight
to
keep vehicle
in
balance.
If
both head lamp
and
taillight go out
at
same time, most possible cause
is
burnt
fuse. Check light fuse filament, if broken, replace. Light fuse
is
in
fuse holder
on
red
wire leading from starter to rectifier.
In
emergency, fuel
can
be
siphoned from companion or passing vehicle. To
siphon, disconnect both fuel lines of vehicle with fuel,
at
carburetor. Position
vehicle with fuel higher than vehicle with empty fuel tank.
Run
longer line into
empty fuel tank, (or container, if available).
Placing hand over open filler neck of
tank with fuel, to form a seal and build pressure, blow into open end of shorter
fuel line until flow starts.
