PRE OPERATION CHECK Make sure your track and skis are not frozen to the snow. Stand behind the machine and lift up on the back of the sled. This will free the track if it is frozen to the ground. Turn the handlebars to move the skis back and forth to make sure they aren't frozen. If any of this is hard too, have an adult help you. Never check the track or skis when the engine is running. You could get hurt. Never stand behind or in front of any snowmobile when the engine is running. Have an adult check the gas level to see if your snowmobile needs more. Children should never add their own gasoline. This should always be done by an adult. Before anyone adds gasoline to your snowmobile they must read the instructions and warnings on page A--23 in this Owner's Manual. Always have an adult put gas in your machine. Have an adult check the engine oil level when the engine is cold. The engine is very hot after it has been running. It could burn you. Children should never check the oil on their own. An adult should be in charge of keeping the gas and oil levels to the full marks. Make sure your hood is latched tight before starting your machine. This last check is done with the engine running. You must check to make certain that ALL THREE WAYS TO STOP your snowmobile are working the way they should. Do you remember what they are? If you cannot list them, go back to page R--6 and review.
