Inadequate Snow Conditions
Moveable hood closures are included on some Polaris snowmobiles.
They are normally left open and are located on the front upper and lower
hood openings. If operating in deep snow or in extreme cold conditions
(below -20_ F), Polaris recommends closing the upper hood closure.
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.
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.
