Inadequate Snow Conditions
WARNING! Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice.
Doing so could cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious injury.
Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension
and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow
cover is a requirement for operation of your machine. Driving in too lit-
tle 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 step down the snow in front of the machine so that when the
throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and over the
snow.
NOTICE: When operating on icy surfaces or hard-packed snow, avoid overheat-
ing 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 over-
heating.
