MAINTENANCE
Track Maintenance
Track Inspection
Using a hoist, safely lift and support the
rear of the snowmobile off the ground.
Rotate the track by hand to check for
possible damage.
Carefully examine the track along the
entire length of each rod, bending the
track and inspecting for breakage. The
three most common damage areas are
shown in the illustration.
Replace the track if any rod damage is
found.
Track Lubrication
The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for sufficient lubrication.
Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication. A new Hi-fax can
cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive
wear. NOTE: If excessive Hi-fax wear occurs due to poor snow
conditions, additional wheel kits are available. See your dealer for
more information.
NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under
other poor lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
Broken track rods are a serious safety hazard. They can cause a
rotating track to come off the machine, which could cause serious
injury or death. Never operate with a damaged track. Never rotate
a damaged track under power.
WARNING
2 1 3 1

Operating with insufficient lubrication between the Hi-fax and track
guide clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of
braking ability, which can result in serious injury or death.
Avoid operating for extended periods on ice and other surfaces that
have little or no snow for lubrication.
