Operator Safety

Inadequate Snow Conditions

Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension

and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow

cover is a requirement for operation of your snowmobile.

WARNING! Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the

slide rail and track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can

result in serious injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to

allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Do not

drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice.

Operating in Deep Snow

If the snowmobile becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area

of snow, then step down the snow in front of the snowmobile so that

when the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and

over the snow.
