Slide Rail And Track Cooling - Polaris 550 Transport Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Slide Rail and Track Cooling

Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail
and track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and fre-
quently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the
slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or
roads.
