SAFETY Operator Safety Stay Away From Moving Parts WARNING Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the track. A loose track or flying debris could cause serious personal injury or death. We recommend having your dealer perform track service and alignment procedures. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the track. Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track. WARNING Stop the engine before attempting adjustments. If contact is made with fingers or clothing, the moving parts of an engine can cause serious injury. Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Turn off the ignition, raise the hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and guards, secure the hood, and then restart the engine to check its operation. 14
