Drive Belt Condition
Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and
always carry a spare. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear:
frayed edges, missing cogs, cracks and excessive looseness. Replace
the belt if any of these conditions exist.
For improved drive-away during extremely cold temperatures, remove
the belt and warm it to room temperature. Reinstal l it before starting
the snowmobile.
