VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION Make sure that oil reservoir and fuel tank caps are properly installed. Tilt bed trailers can easily be equipped with a winch mechanism to afford maximum safety in loading. Simple as it may seem, never drive your snow- mobile onto a tilt bed trailer or any other kind of trailer or vehicle.
BREAK-IN INSPECTION We suggest that after the first 10 hours or 500 km (300 mi) of operation, whichever comes first, your vehicle be inspected by an authorized Ski-Doo dealer. The break-in inspection is very important and must not be neglected.
