PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n Steering System
WARNING! Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your
machine, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of
snow and ice.
Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice
and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty
is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing
the steering linkage.
n Track
WARNING! Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the
possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious
injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
WARNING! Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of
track damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time
in marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges,
and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include
frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication
conditions voids the track warranty.
