GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The maintenance and care you give your snowmobile contributes
significantly to the fun and safety of your snowmobiling adventures.
Your snowmobile should be given a thorough check periodically and
a general check before each ride. Always follow the maintenance
schedules and procedures specified in the SKI-DOO Operator’s Guide.
PARTS AND TOOLS
Every snowmobiler should carry at least the following basic parts and
tools that can help him and others in an emergency:
• Operator’s Guide
• Spark plugs and wrench
• Friction tape
• Drive belt
• Starter rope
• Light bulbs
• Tool kit (including at least pliers, screwdriver, adjustable wrench)
• Knife
• Flashlight
Include other items depending on the length and time of your ride.
FUELING PRECAUTIONS
Never add fuel while your snowmobile engine is operating. Gasoline
fumes are explosive and are heavier than air. They can be ignited by
a pilot light in a furnace or hot water heater in a utility room, basement
or garage. Be familiar with laws pertaining to fuel storage. Do not
light any matches or smoke while filling the tank and never check fuel
with a lite match. A full tank exposed to higher temperatures could
result in an overflow. Always wipe off any gas or oil spills and remove
any debris which may collect under the cab.
