Hood/Side Panel
The hood and side panels of the snowmobile protect the operator from moving parts. Never operate a snowmobile with the hood or side panels open or removed. Always ensure that the hood and side panels are securely in place before starting the engine.
         
         To open a side panel, do the following:
- 
               
               
Rotate the two 1/4-turn fasteners, located at the upper edges of the side panel 1, counterclockwise.
 - 
               
               
Release the side panel strap at the lower edge of the panel 2.
 
To remove an open side panel:
- 
               
               
Pull the panel outward to release the tabs at the lower edge of the panel.
