INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR OWNERS AND DRIVERS
After reading this manual, store it with the snow bike for convenient reference. It
should remain with the vehicle when it is sold.
Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general
representations. Your model may differ.
Follow the maintenance program outlined in this manual. Preventive
maintenance ensures that critical components of the snow bike are inspected at
specific mileage intervals. This service can be performed by your authorized
Timbersled dealer.
You and your dealer must complete the registration form included with your
vehicle and forward it to us. This form should be completed at the dealership
upon purchase, and is necessary to ensure warranty coverage.
Protect and preserve your right to ride by joining your local trail riding clubs.
When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined course
for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the vehicle before
allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them proper riding courtesy, and
enroll them in driver’s training and safety courses sponsored by local or state
organizations.
PRESERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Timbersled is committed to supporting an environmental education campaign.
We encourage state and provincial governments across the snowbelt to adopt
rigorous safety training programs that encourage protection of our environment,
including wildlife and vegetation.
Clubs and other organizations are working together to protect our environment.
Please support their efforts and operate your snow bike with consideration for
the protection and preservation of our environment.
