SAFETY
MEASURES
__________________________
_
Observe
the
following
precautions:
Throttle mechanism should
be
chec-
ked
for free movement before star-
ting engine.
Engine should
be
running only when
belt guard and/or pulley guard
is
secured
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 cor-
rected
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, or other abrasive sur- faces.
On
such surfaces abnormal and excessive wear of critical parts is
inevitable.
Your
snowmobile
is
not designed to
be
operated on public streets, road
or highways.
In
most States and Pro-
vinces, it
is
considered
an
illegal
operation.
Installation of other than standard equipment, including ski-spreaders, bumpers, pack racks, etc., could severely affect the stability and safe- ty of your vehicle. Avoid adding on accessories that alter the basic ve- hicle configuration.
The snowmobile engine can
be
stop-
ped
by
activating the emergency cut-
out switch, tether switch or
by
tur-
ning off the
key.
Whenever the vehicle
is
parked out-
doors, overnight or for a long peri-
od,
it
is
suggested to protect it against the inclemency of the weather with a snowmobile cover.
Do
not lubricate throttle and/or brake
cables and housings.
Only perform procedures
as
detailed
in
this manual. Unless otherwise spe-
cified, 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 nylon lock nut be
required when undergoing
re-
pairs/disassembly, always replace
by
new ones. Tighten
as
specified
in
the
applicable Shop Manual.
PLEASE
READ
AND
UNDERSTAND
ALL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IN
THIS
MANUAL AND
ON
THE
VEHICLE.
THIS
MANUAL
SHOULD
REMAIN
WITH
THE
VEHICLE
AT
THE
TIME
OF
RESALE.

that arise in connection with the sales transaction
or
the operation
of
your snow-
mobile will be handled by your Dealers Sales
or
Service Departments.
It
is reco-

that
despite the
best
intentions
of
everyone concerned,
misunderstandings
will
sometimes occur.
If
you have a problem that has
not
been handled to your satisfaction through
normal
channels, we suggest that
you discuss your problem with a member
of
dealership management. Frequently,
complaints are the result
of
a breakdown in communications
and
can quickly
be resolved by a
member
of
the dealership mLmagement.
If
the problem already
has been reviewed with the Sales Manager
or
Service Manager,
contact
the
Dealer
himself
or
the General Manager.
