Frequency
Routine maintenance is necessary for all
mechanized products, and the snow-
mobile is no exception. A weekly vehi-
cle inspection contributes to the life
span of the snowmobile and retains de-
pendable operation. It is recommended
that the steering system and suspension
be lubricated monthly or every 40 hours
of operation. If the vehicle is operated in
wet snow or in severe conditions these
items should be lubricated more fre-
quently.
