Operator Safety
Driving Downhill
When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snowmobile
and reduce your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep
the clutch engaged, allowing the engine’s compression to help slow the
snowmobile and keep it from rolling freely downhill.
WARNING! When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding
the brakes may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake
failure. Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also
cause an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of
brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.
Clutch Guard
Do not operate the engine with the clutch guard removed.
The clutch guard is designed to protect the operator from metal parts if
the clutch should fail. Although the chance of failure is extremely
remote, don’t defeat the purpose of the guard by removing it. It’s pro-
vided for your safety.
Drive Belt
Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed.
Any servicing that requires operation without a belt must be performed
by your dealer.
CAUTION! Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in
personal injury or damage to the engine.
