Inadequate Snow Conditions; Operating In Deep Snow - Polaris FS IQ TOURING 7427 C Owner's Manual

Operator Safety

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 snowmobile. Driving in too
little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail,
track and/or engine.
Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail
and track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can result in
serious injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow
adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid
operating for prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

Operating in Deep Snow

If the snowmobile becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area
of snow, then step down the snow in front of the snowmobile so that
when the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and
over the snow.
