WARNING
Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will increase the
possibility of track damage and/or failure. This could cause loss of control,
resulting in serious injury or death. Always inspect for track damage before
operating the snowmobile.
Follow these steps to ensure proper warm-up of the engine, drive train and
track.
1. Use an appropriate stand to securely support the rear of the snowmobile at
the rear bumper. The track should be about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up two to three minutes.
3. Depress the throttle abruptly and allow the track to rotate several revolutions.
TIP
It will take longer to warm up the track sufficiently during colder outdoor
temperatures.
4. Release the throttle, apply the brakes, shut off the engine and lower the
snowmobile to the ground.
5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to side to loosen
snow and ice.
SLIDE RAIL AND TRACK COOLING
NOTICE
Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and
track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and frequently
drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail
and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.
RAIL SCRATCHERS
Some models are equipped with rail scratchers to help prevent overheating
when riding on ice or hard-packed snow.
NOTICE
Do not install accessory bogie wheels on the inside of the rail beams if your
model is equipped with a remote reservoir rear track shock or damage will
occur. The rail scratchers must be removed as they interfere with the
accessory bogie wheels.
