OPERATION

Slide Rail and Track Cooling

CAUTION

Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the

slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure.

Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow

adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track

surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

Engine and Track Warm-Up

WARNING

A loose track or flying debris could cause serious personal 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.
