MAINTENANCE

Track Lubrication

WARNING! Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide 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.

The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for sufficient lubrication.
Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication. A new rail slide can
cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive
wear.

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor
lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.

NOTICE: High speed use on hard-packed surfaces is not recommended for

models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may occur.

Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent slow-speed

intervals for track cooling.
