Track Maintenance

Track Inspection

WARNING! Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the
snowmobile, which could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a
damaged track. Never rotate a damaged track under power.

1. Using a hoist, safely lift

and support the rear of
the snowmobile off the
ground.

2. Rotate the track by hand

to check for damage.

3. Carefully examine the

track along the entire
length of each rod. Bend
the track to check for
breakage.

4. Replace the track if any

rod damage is found.

Track Lubrication

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

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.

If excessive rail slide wear occurs due to poor snow conditions,
additional wheel kits may be available. See your dealer for more
information.

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