Verifying
1. Verify ski alignment by measuring across from the
outside edge of the left-side ski to the outside edge
of the right-side ski (without using the straight-
edge) in two places: approximately 35.5-38.1 cm
(14-15 in.) in front of the spindle and 35.5-38.1 cm
(14-15 in.) behind the spindle.
2. The measurement from in front of the spindle to the
outer edge of the ski (without using the straightedge)
must not exceed the rear measurement by more than
0.0-12.7 mm (0-1/2 in.) toe-out.
NOTE: Some operating conditions may require
more toe-out than recommended; however, more
toe-out causes more "drag."
! WARNING
The measurement taken in front of the spindle must never
be less than the measurement taken behind the spindle or
poor handling will be experienced. Neglecting to lock the
tie rod by tightening the jam nuts may cause loss of snow-
mobile control and possible personal injury.

TEST RIDE

Test ride the snowmobile 5 to 10 minutes. During and
after the test ride, do the following:
22
1. Burnish the brake pads by driving the snowmobile
slowly and compressing the brake lever repeatedly
until the pads just start to heat up; then allow them
to cool down. This process stabilizes the pad mate-
rial and extends the life of the pads.
2. Allow the engine to cool; then visually check cool-
ant level. Add coolant as necessary.
3. Recheck track alignment and tension.
4. Check the engine compartment and underneath the
snowmobile for any signs of fluid leaks (gas, coolant).

ENGINE BREAK-IN

The engine (when new or rebuilt) requires a short
break-in period before the engine is subjected to heavy
load conditions.
734-408B
During the break-in period, a maximum of 1/2 throttle
is recommended; however, brief full-throttle accelera-
tions and variations in driving speeds contribute to
good engine break-in.

SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER

This model is equipped with a standard gauge combination
speedometer/tachometer. Indicator icons are incorporated
within the speedometer/tachometer. Also incorporated into
the speedometer/tachometer is a digital readout screen.
