Operator Safety
Inadequate Snow Conditions
WARNING
Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice. Doing so
could cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious injury.
Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide
suspension and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine,
adequate snow cover is a requirement for operation of your machine.
Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to
the slide rail, track and/or engine.
If the machine becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area of
snow, then step down the snow in front of the machine so that when
the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and
over the snow.
CAUTION
When operating on icy surfaces or hard-packed snow, avoid overheating
the slide rail and track. Lack of lubrication and cooling will cause
overheating of the slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and
failure. If frequently operating in low cooling conditions, see your dealer
for an optional wheel kit that will reduce the wear from overheating.
