FAQ
The TD can be easily transported even in a hatchback or station wagon, not to mention large cars. The length of the motorized towing vehicle is 155 cm, the height with an installed motor is 84 cm. The TD has a quick-detachable engine system, thanks to this height it is reduced.
TD towing capacity varies depending on the engine power and type of surface (snow depth, ice, marsh, mud, grass, etc). Guaranteed cargo load for 15 hp engine is 200 kg / 440 lbs.
Provided that there is not much water underneath, TD runs over snow up to 50 cm/20 in deep. In most cases, a TD can continue in situations that become unpassable for ATV or on foot.
The maximum grade which the TD is capable of passing varies with types of surface (ice, snow, rocky surfaces, etc.). Generally, the TD can pass areas, where a person could climb on foot without using one’s hands for additional balance. However, this is a heavy duty operation for TD, resulting to increased wear of the belt and the continuously variable transmission, so do not overuse riding across hills. A long ride uphill also has an impact on the engine: the engine is lubricated by spraying, but the operation in a sloped position is an abnormal operation mode with potential oil starvation, which can also result in premature engine wear. Please refer to the engine owner manual for the operating incline angle limitations.
Ice may have different strength based on its recency, purity and water salinity. The strongest is clean recent ice in fresh water with no noticeable under-ice flow. Other conditions decrease the strength of the ice. If this “ideal” ice is an example, the TD is capable of supporting a human with as little as 5cm of thickness (as the surface pressure of a TD is less than of a human). But water bodies do not freeze uniformly, thus ice riding is only possible at 10cm of thickness, since the driver should be able to walk on any ice which is traveled over.
Please refer to the engine manufacturer`s owner manual for the environment operating temperatures.
Warranty period for TD is 1 year. For service and warranty repairs please contact our dealers.
TDs are prohibited on public roads. Concerning snowmobile roads, we recommend consulting with the owners of the roads.
TD is equipped with an automatic oil level sensor that shuts the engine with a low oil level or when TD is at a large angle of inclination. In case of engine shut down, we recommend to place the TD in the horizontal position, check the oil level and start the engine.
For the continuously variable transmission and bearings, NLGI-2 or higher standard lithium greases are recommended.
