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 machine.

NOTICE: Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to

the slide rail, track and/or engine. Do not drive for prolonged periods

on blacktop, gravel, or ice. If frequently operating in low cooling condi-

tions, see your dealer for an optional wheel kit that will reduce the

wear from overheating.

Operating in Deep Snow

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.
