RIDING THE VEHICLE
Operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area until you are com-
pletely familiar with its operation and feel comfortable that you can
safely tackle a more demanding task. Have an enjoyable and safe
ride.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
Depressing throttle lever increases engine RPM causing the drive
pulley to engage.
WARNING
Never operate engine without chain guard securely installed
or, with hood or access/side panels open or removed.
Power is transferred to the track through the drive chain and drive
axle.
WARNING
Always use a wide-base snowmobile mechanical stand to
properly support vehicle during any track verification. Slowly
accelerate engine in order to rotate track at very low speed
when it is not on ground.
Turnin g
Handlebar controls the steering of the vehicle. As the handlebar is
rotated to right or left, the skis are turned right or left to steer the
snowmobile.
Stopping
Before riding your snowmobile, you should understand how to stop
it. This is done by releasing the throttle and gradually depressing
the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. In an emergency,
you may stop your vehicle by pressing the engine cut-out switch
located near the throttle control and applying the brake. Remember,
a snowmobile cannot “stop on a dime”. Braking characteristics vary
with deep snow, packed snow or ice. If the track is locked during
hard braking, skidding may result.
