TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS
NOTE: This section is applicable to snowmobiles equipped with a
factory installed track that has been approved by BRP for special
studs installation.
WARNING
Never stud a track that has not been approved for studs. In-
stalling studs on an unapproved track could increase the risk
of the track tea ring or seve ring.
WARNING
You m ay stud the track on this veh icle model . However, you
MUST only use the BRP approved type stud for use on these
Lynx snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use conventional studs as
the track thickness is thinner then other standard tracks. The
stud could tea r off of track and separate from ve hicle. See an
authorized Lynx dealer for current specific studding availabil-
ity and applications.
Using traction enhancing products such as, adjustable or more
aggressive ski carbide runners and/or studs on your snowmobile
will change its behavior, particularly in terms of m anoeuvrability,
acceleration, and braking.
Using traction enhancing products gives a better grip on packed
snow and ice, but has no notice able effect on soft snow. For this
reason, driving a snowmobile equipped with traction enhancing
products requires a certain adaptation period. If your snowmobile is
equipped with traction enhancing products, be sure to take plenty of
time to get used to the way it handles when turning, accelerating,
and braking.
Also, always check local regulations concerning the use of traction
enhancing products on snowmobiles. Always drive your snowmo-
bile in a responsible m anner, respecting the environment and other
people’s property.
Manoeuvrability
Using traction enhancing products such as, more aggressive ski
carbide runners and/or studs makes the snowmobile grip the ground
better at both the front and at the rear. The use of carbide runners is
therefore required to give the skis a better grip, so that the front and
rear of the snowmobile are in balance. W hile off-the-shelf carb ide
