SPECIAL OPERATION
Towing an Accessory
Always use a rigid tow bar to tow an accessory. Any towed
accessory should have reflectors on both sides and at the
rear. Check local laws for brake light(s) requirements.
WARNING
Never tow an accessory with a rope. Always use a rigid
tow bar. Using a rope would result in a collision between
the object and the snowmobile and possibly in a tip over in
case of a rapid deceleration or on a downward slope.
Towing Another Snowmobile
If a snowmobile is disabled and must be towed use a rigid tow
bar. Remove the drive belt from disabled snowmobile, refer
to DRIVE BELT in MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES and tow at
moderate speed.
NOTICE Always remove the drive belt of the snowmobile
that is to be towed to prevent damage to its belt and drive
system.
In an emergency situation only, if a rigid tow bar is not
available, a rope can be used. Proceed with extra caution. In
some areas, it may be illegal to do so. Check with state or
local authorities.
Remove the drive belt, attach the rope to the ski legs (spindles),
have someone sit on the towed snowmobile to activate the
brake, and tow at low speed.
NOTICE In order to prevent damage to the steering system,
never attach the tow rope to the ski lhandles.
WARNING
Never ride at high speed when towing a disabled snowmo-
bile. Proceed slowly with extra caution.
