MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING
To prevent serious injury to indi-
viduals near the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a
moving track.
– Always use a wide-base snow-
mobile stand with a rear deflec-
tor panel.
– When the track is raised off the
ground, only run it at the lowest
possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause de-
bris, damaged or loose studs,
pieces of torn track, or an en-
tire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tun-
nel with tremendous force.
