IHOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR SNOWMOBILE

ENGINE

SERIAL

NUMBER

The main components of your snow-

mobile (engine, track and frame) are

identified by different serial numbers. It

may sometimes become necessary to

locate these numbers for warranty pur-

poses or to trace your snowmobile in

the event of theft.

ONOTE: We strongly recommend that you take note of all the serial numbers

on your vehicle and supply them to your insurance company. It will surely

help in the event a snowmobile is stolen.
