OPERATION
Track Warm-Up
A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. Stand clear of
the front of the snowmobile and the moving track. Never hold the snowmobile up
or stand behind it while warming up the track. Do not use excessive throttle dur-
ing warm-up or when the track is free-hanging. Be sure the rear support is sta-
ble.
Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will increase the possi-
bility 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 snow-
mobile at the rear bumper. The track should be approximately 4
inches (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.
Tip: 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 snowmobile 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
snowmobile to move forward more easily.
6. The engine, drive system and track are now properly warmed up
and the snowmobile may be driven following normal safety prac-
tices.
