OPERATION

Track Warm-Up

WARNING! Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will

increase the possibility of track damage and/or failure. This could cause loss of

control, resulting in serious injury or death. Always inspect for track damage

before operating the snowmobile.

Follow these steps to ensure proper warm-up

of the engine, drive train and track.
1. Use an appropriate stand to securely sup-

port the rear of the snowmobile at the rear

bumper. The track should be approxi-

mately 4" (10 cm) off the ground.

WARNING! A loose track or flying debris could

cause serious injury or death. Stand clear of the

front of the machine and the moving track. Never

hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while

warming up the track. Do not use excessive throttle

during warm-up or when the track is free-hanging.

Be sure the rear support is stable.

2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up two to three minutes.
3. Depress the throttle abruptly and allow the track to rotate several

revolutions.

Tip: It will take longer to warm up the track sufficiently during colder outdoor

temperatures.

4. Release the throttle, apply the brakes, shut off the engine and lower

the snowmobile to the ground.

5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to side

to loosen snow and ice.
