Inadequate Snow Conditions
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.
WARNING
Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice. Doing so could
cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious injury.
CAUTION
When operating on icy surfaces or hard-packed snow, avoid overheating 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 overheating.
