Operator Safety

Inadequate Snow Conditions

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 snowmobile. Driving in too

little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail,

track and/or engine.

Operating in Deep Snow

If the snowmobile becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area

of snow, then step down the snow in front of the snowmobile so that

when the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and

over the snow.

WARNING

Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice. Doing so could

cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious injury.

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.
