Drive Belt Condition
Inspect belt for cracks, fraying or abnormal wear (uneven wear, wear
on one side, missing cogs, cracked fabric). If abnormal wear is noted,
probable cause could be pulley misalignment, excessive RPM with
frozen track, fast starts without warm-up period, burred or rusty
sheave, oil on belt or distorted spare belt. Contact an authorized SKI-DOO
dealer.
Check the drive belt width. Replace the drive belt if width is less than
the minimum width recommended in SPECIFICATIONS.
Brake Condition
Brake Adjustment
Mechanical Brake
The brake mechanism is a self-adjusting type. If a quicker brake re-
sponse is desired, strongly squeeze the brake lever several times,
this will actuate the adjusting mechanism.
Hydraulic Brake
A hydraulic brake is not adjustable. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer
if any problems.
WARNING
Always reinstall belt guard. Do not operate engine with hood
open or belt guard removed. Improper servicing, modification
or poor adjustment may affect drive pulley performance and
belt life. Always refer to the Shop Manual or obtain authorized
SKI-DOO dealer advice before servicing or modifying the drive
or driven pulleys. Always respect maintenance schedules.
WARNING
The brake mechanism on your snowmobile is an essential
safety device. Keep this mechanism in proper working condi-
tion. Above all, do not operate the snowmobile without an
effective brake system. Periodically verify the condition/wear
of the brake pads.
