SAFETY

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

Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail

and track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can result in

serious injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow

adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid

operating for prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.
