Brake Condition
The brake mechanism on your snowmobile is an essential safety de-
vice. Keep this mechanism in proper working condition. Above all, do
not operate the snowmobile without an effective brake system. Pe-
riodically verify the condition/wear of the brake pads.
Brake Adjustment
Mechanical Brake Only
The brake mechanism is a self-adjusting type. If a quicker brake re-
sponse is desired, strongly squeeze the brake lever several times,
this will actuate the adjusting mechanism.
Hydraulic Brake Only
No adjustment is provided for hydraulic brake. See an authorized
dealer if any problems.
Rear Suspension Condition
Visually inspect all suspension components including slider shoes,
springs, wheels, etc.
NOTE : During normal driving, snow will act as a lubricant and
coolant for the slider shoes. Extensive riding on ice or sanded
snow, will create excessive heat build-up and cause premature slider
shoe wear.
Suspension Stopper Strap Condition
Inspect stopper strap for wear and cracks, bolt and nut for tightness.
If loose inspect holes for deformation. Replace as required. Torque
nut to 9 N•m (80 lbfin).
Track condition
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and support it off the ground. With
the engine off, rotate the track by hand, and inspect condition. If
worn or cut, or if track fibers are exposed, or if missing or defective
inserts or guides are noted; contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING
Do not operate or rotate a track if torn, damaged or exces-
sively worn.
