SAFETY
MEASURES
__________________________
__
Observe
the
following
precautions :
• Throttle mechanism should
be
check-
ed
for free movement before starting
engine.
•
Do
not operate vehicle near snow
making equipment.
• Engine should
be
running only when
belt guard and
I or pulley guard
is
se-
cured
in
place.
• Never run the engine
without
drive
belt installed. Running
an
unloaded
engine can prove to
be
dangerous.
• Never run the engine when the track
is
raised
off
the ground.
• It can
be
dangerous to run engine
with
the hood removed.
• Gasoline
is
flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Always manipulate
in
a well ventilated area. Do
not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks
in
the vicinity. If gasoline fumes
are noticed while driving, the cause
should
be
determined and corrected
without
delay.
• Maintain your vehicle
in
top mechan-
ical condition at all times.
•
Your
snowmobile
is
not designed to
be
driven or operated on black top,
bare earth,
ice,
hard pack or other
abrasive surfaces.
On
such surfaces
abnormal and excessive wear
of
cri-
tical parts
is
inevitable.
•
Your
snowmobile
is
not designed to
be
operated on public streets, road
or highways.
In
most States and
Prov-
inces, it
is
considered
an
illegal oper-
ation.
• Installation
of
other than standard
equipment, including ski-spreaders,
bumpers, pack racks, etc., could severely affect the stability and safety
of
your vehicle. Avoid adding
on
accessories that alter the basic vehicle
configuration.
• The snowmobile engine can
be
stop-
ped
by
activating the emergency cut-
out switch, tether switch or
by
turn-
ing
off
the
key.
• Whenever the vehicle
is
parked outdoors, overnight or for a long period,
it
is
suggested to protect it against
the inclemency
of
the weather with
a snowmobile cover.
•
Do
not lubricate throttle and I or brake
cables and housings.
• Only perform procedures
as
detailed
in
this manual. Unless otherwise spec-
ified, engine should
be
turned
OFF
for
all
lubrication and maintenance
procedures.
• Clean and check operation of the
headlight, taillight and brake light.
• These vehicles
are
designed for the
driver only. No provisions have been
made for a passenger.
• Should removal
of
a locking device
be
required when undergoing repairs/
disassembly, always replace
by
new
ones. Tighten fasteners
as
specified
in
the applicable Shop Manual.
