OPERATION
Engine and Track Warm-Up
WARNING
A loose track or flying debris could cause serious personal injury or
death. Stand clear of the front of the machine and the moving track.
Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the
track. Do not use excessive throttle during warm-up or when the track is
free-hanging. Be sure the rear support is stable.
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
approximately 4″ (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.
NOTE: 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 machine to the ground.
5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to
side. This will loosen frozen snow from the ski bottoms, allowing
the machine to move forward more easily.
6. The engine, drive system and track are now properly warmed up
and the machine may be driven following normal safety practices.
