[. . . ] SNOWMOBILE OWNER'S MANUAL RS90L LIT-12628-02-45 8ES-28199-11 A ESU00286 1- MACHINE IDENTIFICATION Identification number records A. ENGINE NUMBER (PRIMARY ID): CZ-01E C. KEY NUMBER: C CZ-01E Record the frame number, engine number (Primary ID), and key number in the spaces provided for assistance when ordering spare parts from a Yamaha dealer. 1 The frame number is the seventeen-digit number stamped on the frame of the snowmobile. [. . . ] Marginal snow The drive track and the slide runners are lubricated and cooled by snow and water. To prevent the drive track and slide runners from overheating, avoid sustained highspeed usage in areas such as icy trails, frozen lakes and rivers that have minimal snow coverage. An overheated track will be weakened internally, which may cause failure or damage. Off-trail riding Avoid off-trail riding until there is sufficient snow coverage. It generally takes several feet of snow to provide a good overall base to properly cover debris, such as rocks, logs, etc. If snow coverage is not sufficient, stay on trails to avoid impact damage to the drive track. Studded track In general, track life will be shortened when studs are installed. Drilling stud holes into the drive track will cut the internal fibers, which weakens the track. Studs may catch on an object and pull out of the track, leaving tears and damage around the already weakened area. To minimize possible damage, consult your stud manufacturer for installation and stud pattern recommendations. Yamaha does not recommend track studding. 7-7 ESU01300 Driving WARNING @ Be sure to read the "SAFETY INFORMATION" and "Riding your snowmobile" sections carefully before operating the snowmobile. @ NOTE: @ Make sure that the engine is warmed up enough before riding. @ 1. Release the parking brake by moving the parking brake lever to the right. Press the throttle lever slowly to move the snowmobile. Turn the handlebar in the desired direction. Squeeze the brake lever to stop the snowmobile. Apply the parking brake by moving the parking brake lever to the left. ESU00136 Stopping the engine Turn the main switch to the "OFF" position to stop the engine. 1 "OFF" WARNING @ G G Push down the engine stop switch to stop the engine in an emergency. Make sure that the key is removed from the main switch whenever the operator leaves the snowmobile, to prevent accidental starting. @ 7-8 ESU00367 Transporting When transporting your snowmobile on a trailer or in a truck, observe the following recommendations to help protect it from damage: G Make sure that the fuel level in the fuel tank is lower than the bottom of the carburetors. Otherwise, the vibration and bumps from the road surface could make it possible for fuel to flow through the carburetors into the cylinders. This can result in "hydrostatic lock, " a condition where the engine cannot rotate because of fuel accumulated in the engine. Severe engine damage can result from hydrostatic lock. When possible, the fuel tank should be empty during transportation, especially if the trip takes longer than 30 minutes. [. . . ] Apply suitable protectants to the exterior of the engine, drive track, and to other metal, plastic, and rubber parts. Battery Remove the battery from the snowmobile. Store it in a cool, dry place that is above 0 °C (32 °F), but less than 30 °C (90 °F). Check the condition of the battery once a month, and charge it as necessary. WARNING @ G G G @ Never smoke around the battery while it is being charged. [. . . ]
