MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF YOUR SLED:
Before you attempt any maintenance or repair of your snowmobile, you should review the owner’s manual and decide just how much mechanical ability you have. Don’t attempt repairs which you do not understand completely. You might end up with a pile of parts and now snowmobile. If repair is beyond your ability, you should have your local snowmobile dealer take care of it for you. It is important to check your machine often, but you should not make adjustments which could endanger you and others when you are riding. Once you make an adjustment on your snowmobile, remember to check it periodically throughout the season. Out on a trail, your snowmobile could have a problem which could stop it completely. For this reason, YOU SHOULD NEVER TRAVEL ALONE.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
-DON’T DRINK AND RIDE
-Do not ride alone or if temperature are colder that –25 degrees Celcius.
-Do not start your sled and take off right away. Let the sled warm up – this could prevent burning down your engine.
-Do not use excessive speed.
How DID THAT HAPPEN?
Most snowmobiling accidents result from the operator error, overconfidence or inexperience. The main contributing factors are: alcohol, speed, darkness, unfamiliar terrain, or ice, and, off-trail riding on roads or lakes.
