PRE-OPERATION CHECK
• Remove snow and ice from body including seat, footrests, lights,
controls and instruments.
• Verify that track and idler wheels are unfrozen and free to turn.
• Activate the brake control lever and make sure the brake fully ap-
plies before the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It
must fully return when released.
• Check the parking device. Apply parking brake and check if it op-
erates properly.
• Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it
operates easily and smoothly.
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating
the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical con-
trols, safety features and mechanical components before start-
ing. If not done as specified here, severe injury or death might
occur.
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.
