OPERATION
Track Warm-Up
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.
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 support the rear of the
snowmobile at the rear
bumper. The track should be
approximately 4″ (10 cm) off
the ground.
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.
NOTE: 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 machine to the ground.
5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to side to
loosen snow and ice.
