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.
NOTICE: Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to
the slide rail, track and/or engine. Do not drive for prolonged periods
on blacktop, gravel, or ice. If frequently operating in low cooling condi-
tions, see your dealer for an optional wheel kit that will reduce the
wear from overheating.
Operating in Deep Snow
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.
