Track Inspection

WARNING! Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the
machine, which could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a
damaged track. Never rotate a damaged track under power.
1. Using a hoist, safely lift and
support the rear of the
snowmobile off the ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to
check for damage.
3. Carefully examine the track
along the entire length of
each rod ( ). Bend the
track to check for breakage.
4. Replace the track if any rod
damage is found.

Track Lubrication

WARNING! Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide and
track guide clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of
braking ability, which can result in serious injury or death. Avoid operating for
extended periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for
lubrication.
The slide rail needs snow for lubrication. Excessive wear indicates
insufficient lubrication. A new rail slide can cause faster heat build-up
in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive wear.
Tip: If excessive rail slide wear occurs due to poor snow conditions, additional
wheel kits are available. See your dealer for more information.
Tip: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor
lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
