Course Outline

  • Release the parking brake; increase the throttle; and move slowly until the engine, drive belt, and track are warmed up fully.
  • If the snowmobile doesn’t move, stop the engine, and check for a frozen track or seized brake.
    • To free a frozen track, lift the back of the snowmobile about 10–12 inches off the ground and then bounce the back of the snowmobile on the ground. Repeat as necessary.
    • To repair a seized brake, seek the advice of a mechanic.
