routine main t en an ce will result in
safer and enjoyable use.

wise specified, engine should be
turned OFF and cold for all lubrica-
tion, adjustment and maintenance
procedures.

Never remove any original equip-
ment from your snowm obile. Each
vehicle has many built in safety fea-

Do not stud the track unless it as
been approved for studs. At speed,
a studded track that as not been
approved for studs could tear and
separate from vehicle posing a risk
