Battery (Electric Start Models)
Check electrolyte level weekly. Electro-
lyte level must be at upper level line on
battery casing. If necessary add distilled
water.
Battery connections must also be free
of corrosion. If cleaning is necessary
remove corrosion using a stiff brush
then clean with a solution of baking
soda and water. Rinse and dry well.
•
CAUTION: Do not allow cleaning
solution to enter battery. It will
destroy the chemical properties of the
electrolyte.
After reconnecting battery coat battery
terminals and connectors with pe-
troleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
Check that battery is well secured and
that battery overflow tube is not block-
ed or kinked.
+
W A RNING: Overflow tube must
be free and open. A kinked or
bent tube will restrict ventilation and
create gas accumulation that could
result in an explosion. Avoid skin con-
tact with electrolyte.
~
CAUTION: Prior to charging the
Y
battery, always remove it from
the vehicle to prevent electrolyte spill-
age.
Suspension Condition
Visually inspect all suspension compo-
nents including slider shoes, springs,
wheels
I
etc ...
O NOTE: During normal driving,
snow will act as a lubricant and
coolant for the slider shoes. Extensive
riding on ice or sanded snow, (not to
mention dirt, asphalt, etc. never re-
commended) will create excessive heat
build-up and cause premature slider
shoe wear.
Suspension Adjustment
The suspension is adjustable. The front
adjustment for surface condition, the
rear for driver's weight. Use the special
key located in tool box.
