Steering System - Polaris 600 Fusion Owner's Manual

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n Steering System
WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your machine, result-
ing in serious injury or death. Keep the underhood area free of snow and ice.
Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice
and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty
is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing
the steering linkage.
NOTE: If your snowmobile is equipped with RIDER SELECT, perform
this check in both the full up and full down steering positions.
n Track
WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the possibility of
track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or
death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of track dam-
age and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time in
marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges,
and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would
include frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow
conditions.
NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor
lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
