EMERGENCY GUIDE
The following charts list the "most likely to occur" problems, their possible causes
and remedies. Should you encounter trouble on the trail, first identify the symptoms
then rectify, using your manual to assist you.
What To Do
If headlamp is burnt, stop engine, unlock cab latches (2) and tilt cab. Unfasten bulb
retainer clips. Detach bulb and replace. If taillight bulb is burnt, expose bulb
by
removing red plastic lens. To remove, pry off red plastic lens using flat bladed
screwdriver.
Remove throttle cable and replace. Check lever operation. If necessary replace
housing. Do not start the engine until levers return
SWiftly.
If rope is broken Inside starter unit, remove starter unit, using 10mm wrench sup-
plied in Tool KIt. Make a knot at end of remaining rope at end opposite handle.
Wind remainder of rope around pulley. Pull vigorously, as per usual manual start.
(See Fig. 1, page 4).
Travel with friends or in company with other snowmobiles. When exploring new
areas, always use the "buddy" system. Even then, don't be foolhardy. Plan your
trips and carry at least some sort of rough gUide showing fuel stops and shelter.
Always know where you are. Unless you do, stay on known trails and familiar
terrain.
If both headlamp and taillight go out at same time, most possible cause is burnt
fuse. Check light fuse filament, if broken, replace. Light fuse is in fuse holder on
red wire going from starter to rectifier.
In emergency, fuel can be siphoned from companion or passing vehicle. To
siphon, disconnect both fuel lines of vehicle with fuel, at carburetor. Position
vehicle with fuel higher than vehicle with empty fuel tank. Run longer line into
empty fuel tank, (or container, if available). Placing hand over open filler neck of
tank with fuel, to form a sea! and build pressure, blow into open end of shorter
fuel line until flow starts.
