mined and corrected without delay,
• Your snowmobile is not designed to
be operated on public streets, road
or highways. In most States and
Provinces, it is considered an illegal
operation,
• Maintain your vehicle in top mecha-
nical condition at all times,
• Your snowmobile is not designed to
be driven or operated on black top,
bare earth, or other abrasive surfa-
ces. On such surfaces abnormal and
excessive wear of critical parts is
inevitable.

in this manual. It is recommended
that dealer assistance be periodically
obtained on other components /
systems not covered in this manual.
Unless otherwise specified, engine
should be turned OFF for all lubri-
cation and maintenance procedures.
• Installation of other than "stock"
equipment, including ski-spreaders,
bumpers, pack racks, etc.. could
severely affect the stability and
safety of your vehicle. Avoid adding
on
accessories that alter the basic
vehicle configuration.
• The snowmobile engine can be
stopped by activating the emergen-
cy cut-out or tether switches, or
turning off the key.
• On T'NT equipped with free air en-
gine since the engine cooling is in
effect only when the vehicle is in
motion, it is recommended that you
do not allow the engine to idle for
more brief periods. Prolonged idling
and low speed operation may cause
engine damage.
