WARNING
Make sure wide-base snowmobile mechanical stand is stable.
Stay clear of the front of vehicle and the track. Do not use too
much throttle during warm-up or when track is free-hanging.
Apply throttle until drive pulley engages. Let track rotate at low
speed for several turns. The lower the vehicle temperature is the
longer vehicle warm-up should be.
Shut-off the engine and remove the wide-base snowmobile mechan-
ical stand.
Skis may be frozen on the ground. Grab both skis one at a time by
their loops and lift their front end slightly off the ground.
After restarting engine, the vehicle can be driven at low speed for
the first 2 or 3 minutes of riding. After that, it may be driven up to
the legal speed limit as per normal safety practices.
Shutting Off the Engine
Release throttle lever and wait until engine has returned to idle
speed.
Shut off the engine using either ignition switch, engine cut-out
switch or tether cut-out switch.
WARNING
Always remove tether cord cap and key when vehicle is not in
operation in order to prevent accidental engine starting or to
avoid unauthorized use by children or others or theft.
Post-Operation Care
Shut off the engine. Install rear of vehicle on a wide-base snowmo-
bile mechanical stand.
Remove snow and ice from rear suspension, track, front suspension,
steering mechanism and skis.
Always cover your snowmobile when leaving it overnight or during
extended periods of inactivity. This will protect it from freezing as
well as retain its appearance.
Suspension Adjustments
Snowmobile handling and comfort depend upon suspension adjust-
ments.
