EXTREME COLD WEATHER PROCEDURES

When the temperature falls to -20°F or below there are several special procedures required to protect a snowmachine from damage caused by low operating temperature.

1. Add 6 oz. of 2-cycle oil to a full tank of gas (approximately 9 gals.) for oil injected machines only.
2. Tape all hood vents to restrict cold air flow through the engine compartment. This should be done in a warm area if possible so that the tape has a chance to stick to the cowling.
3. Warm up the moving parts - Have another person assist with lifting the track off the ground, (2 people are needed to support the back of the machine). Increase and vary engine speed for approximately 2 minutes to warm the track, clutches, and gear-case just prior to use.
