PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

Before Starting the Engine

Steering System

Manually turn the skis completely to the right and to the left. If any
difficulty is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be
obstructing the steering linkage. Make sure all greasable components
are properly lubricated.

Track

WARNING! Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the
possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious
injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.

WARNING! Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of
track damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time
with marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges,
and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include
frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under poor
lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
