Track Warm-Up - Polaris Trail Touring Owner's Manual

Track Warm-Up

WARNING! Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will
increase the possibility 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 snowmobile at
the rear bumper. The track should be
about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground.
WARNING! A loose track or flying debris could
cause serious injury or death. Stand clear of
the front of the machine and the moving track.
Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind
it while warming up the track. Do not use
excessive throttle during warm-up or when the
track is free-hanging. Use a stable rear
support.
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 machine to the ground.
5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to side
to loosen snow and ice.
