Varying Altitude Operation

Operating a snowmobile at varying alti-
tudes requires changes in performance
components. These changes affect drive
train components. Have a Yamaha dealer
perform altitude-related service.

NOTE: Just as important as cali-
brating the snowmobile for higher
altitudes is recalibrating the snow-
mobile when going to lower alti-
tudes.

NOTE: Drive train changes can be
made by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to
Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
