rain can cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme caution
when operating in unfamiliar terrain.

steering and braking ability are greatly reduced. Reduce speed and
allow extra space to turn or stop.

have a proper balance of ski carbides to track studs. See Owner’s
Manual for proper use of traction products.

braking ability.

Parking brake may relax when used for long periods. Do not leave
brake engaged for more than five minutes.
