Towing Another
Snowmobile
If a snowmobile is disabled and must
be towed use a rigid towbar, remove
the drive belt from disabled snowmo-
bile and tow at moderate speed.
CAUTION: Always remove the drive
belt of the snowmobile that is to be
towed to prevent damage to its belt
and drive system.

rigid towbar is not available, a rope can
be used provided you 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 some-
one sit on the towed snowmobile to
activate the brake, and tow at low
speed.
CAUTION: In order to prevent dam-
age to the steering system, never
attach the tow rope to the ski loops
(handles).
WARNING

towing a disabled snowmobile.
Proceed slowly with extra caution.
