114 MAINTENANCE General Maintenance Torque Stop If your snowmobile is equipped with an engine torque stop (1), periodically check torque stop clearance. With clutches in proper alignment, the torque stop clearance should be a minimum of .010″ to a maximum of .030″ from the engine case (2). Adjust if necessary, and lock the jam nut. Reverse Maintenance If your snowmobile is equipped with reverse, or if you have a reverse kit installed, it’s especially important to maintain track tension as specified on page 118. WARNING Improper track tension can cause serious damage to the snowmobile, which can result in loss of vehicle control and serious injury or death. Always maintain the track tension as specified. Allow the engine to reach idle speed before attempting to shift into or out of reverse. CAUTION Damage will occur to chaincase or transmission if shifting is attempted before the machine has come to a complete stop. Make sure the snowmobile has completely stopped and the engine has returned to idle speed before shifting gears. 2 1 |
