4- l ' Snow- Mobile News bylnga SNOW! Wasn't that a beautiful sight to wake up to early Tuesday morning? I knew those "Snow Dances" would help if we all just tried hard enough. By now the boats are tucked away for the wineer, lawn- mowers and lawn equipment stored in the shed and we can think seriously about getting those snowmobiles ready for the season ahead. Giving your machine a good going over is important if you wish a trouble free winter. I checked with my "Better Half" for a few suggestions and have come up with a check list that might be helpful to some of our readers. SPARK PLUGS: start the season out with new ones, do not depend on last year's even though they look good. THE TRACK: check for proper tension, cracks, and embedded objects. If you have cleats see that they are all tight and none missing. A loose or sloppy track will give a poor ride and cause undue wear. If you are not familiar with this procedure, check with your dealer. Some manuals will give track adjustments. SKI ALIGNMENT: Face the handle bars straight ahead, both skis should be straight forward and parallel with each other. Weaving and poor steering control will result if they are not. Check adjusting screws. While you are checking the skis look at the wear rods. If worn down or flat this too can cause poor turning and steering. BOLTS: Go over the whole machine and check for loose bolts, especially the motor mounts. Tighten and replace broken, bent or missing ones. In fact do this often during the snowmobile season. CABLES. Brake and throttle cables should move freely without sticking in a partially or fully open position, returning to closed or idle position. ELECTRIC START: Check the water level in your battery. If you havn't given your battery a trickle charge now and then during the summer, charge it now. The new law reads that snowmobiles must have their lights on at all times. A good battery is important. Check your electrical system for worn or frayed wiring. See that headlight and tail light bulbs are working. DRIVE BELT: Make sure your drive belt is not worn or cracked. Replace if necessary. Always carry a spare. GAS TANK: Your gas should have been removed last spring. If not, empty now and replace with the correct gas and oil mixture. NEVER pour the oil, then the gas, directly into your gas tank. Always mix in a separate can first, and use the exact amount of oil your manual suggests. Your snowmobile engine depends greatly on the oil mixed in your gas for lubrication. TUNE UP-CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT: This is best left up to your dealer unless you are mechanically inclined or know engines. Bad carburetor or gas adjustment could ruin your engine. Too lean or rich could cause much trouble. OIL & GREASE: Some bogies need lubrication. It's best to check your manual for the type of lubrication. It must withstand very cold weather and not harden up. CHAIN TENSION-CHAIN CASING: Check chain tension, if not correct adjust. Check the amount of lubricant in the chain casing. Refer to your manual. BOGEY SPRINGS: If broken or bent a hard ride will result and possible bottoming out could cause track and suspension damage. This happens often when riding trails that are rough and bumpy and when riding double on such surfaces. Touch up any rust spots.

REGISTRATION Section 5-1 Paragraph H,I It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any snowmobile in the following ways: H. On private property, without the written consent of the owner or lessee. Any person operating a snowmobile upon lands of another shall stop and identify himself upon request of the landowner or his duly authorized representative, and if requested to do so by the lan­ downer shall promptly remove the snowmobile from the premises. I. An owner, lessee or occupant of premises owes no duty to keep the premises safe „ for entry or use by others for snowmobiling, or to give warning of any unsafe con­ dition or use of or structure of activity on such premises. This subsection does not apply where permission to snowmobile is given for a valuable consideration other than to this State or any political subdivision or municipality thereof.

WAS //UVC^TFP E>V Hunters-Hear This! I his is a note to hunters in this area, to be heeded by all sportsmen. It concerns the preservation of wild life. loo often in the past we have heard hunters boasting of killing more than their quota, of using unsportsmanlike methods to bring back game. Those who persist in violating legal limits are guilty on two counts: the legal count and the s[)ortsmanship count. Naturally, i t 's impossible for game wardens and federal officials to discover every violation, especially when many occur on land owned by those breaking the law. This editorial is an appeal to sportsmen to observe limits and the law. In the long run, such a policy will pay dividends to every hunter. HARVARD THEATRE 21 23 N. AYER ST.
