Powder Snow Op eration
Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide
suspension and cooling for the engine, adequate snow cover is a
requirement for operation of your machine. Driving in too little snow
will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail, track and/or
engine.
If the machine becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area of
snow, then s tep down the snow in front of the machine so t hat when
the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and
over. You may then mount the machine and continue riding.
Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice.
Doing so could cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious
personal injury.
WARNING
When operating on icy surfaces or hard-packed snow, avoid
overheating the slide rail and track. Lack of lubrication and
cooling will cause overheating of the slide rail and track, resulting
in premature wear and failure. If frequently operating in low
cooling conditions, see your dealer for an optional wheel kit that
will reduce the wear from overheating.
