Aiming the Headlights

1. Loosen the mounting nuts and position each headlight
so that it points straight ahead. Tighten the mounting
nut just enough to hold the headlight in position.
2. Place a flat piece of sheet metal over the face of the

holding the assembly in place, carefully tilt the headlight
downward 3 degrees, then tighten the nut.
4. Repeat the procedure on the other headlight.

heater icon on the info center will show/disappear.
4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key
to the Start position. Release the key immediately
when the engine starts and allow it to return to the
Run position. Allow engine to warm up at low speed
(without load) for 3 to 5 minutes, then actuate the
(Figure
throttle switches to attain the desired engine speed.
Important: Do not run the starter motor more
than 30 seconds at a time or premature starter
failure may result. If the engine fails to start
after 30 seconds, turn the key to the Off position,
recheck the controls and procedures, wait 2
minutes, and repeat the starting procedure.
When the temperature is below -75°C (20°F), let the
machine warm up for a minimum of 10 minutes.
