OPERATION Daily Storage At the end of each ride, park the snowmobile on a level surface and support it at the rear with an appropriate track stand. The track should be suspended approximately 4" (10 cm) off the ground. Remove the key and cover the snowmobile. Towing For your safety, do not attempt to use a tow hitch until you've read the following warnings and understand the proper hitch functions. WARNING! Objects towed with a rope have no braking power and can easily collide with the rear of the snowmobile or other objects, resulting in serious injury or death. DO NOT tow toboggans, sleds, saucers, or any type of vehicle with a rope. Only a stiff metal pole connecting the towed object and the tow hitch on the snowmobile should be used. If passengers are to be towed on a toboggan or sled, make sure the pole is at least four feet (1.2 meters) long to prevent any possibility of contact between the snowmobile's track and a person riding in the towed object. Braking distances increase when towing loads. Slow down to maintain control of the snowmobile. Whenever towing or operating with a heavy load, place the transmission in low gear. Towing in high gear can result in belt damage. When operating in low gear, vehicle speed will be limited to protect the drive train. If the snowmobile becomes inoperable and must be towed, and if it isn't possible to use a rigid tow bar, attach the tow rope to the ski spindles (not to the ski loops) to prevent damage to the steering components. Place the transmission in neutral, and have someone ride on the towed snowmobile to operate the brake and steering when necessary. Shifter NOTICE: Towing a disabled snowmobile with the transmission in gear can result in serious damage to the engine and drive system. Always place the transmission of the disabled snowmobile in neutral before towing. 73
