Track Warm-Up - Polaris 600 HO IQ Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Track Warm-Up

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 throt-
tle during warm-up or when the track is free-hanging. Use a stable rear sup-
port.
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 sup-
port the rear of the snowmobile at the rear
bumper. The track should be about 4I (10
cm) off the ground.
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.
NOTE: It will take longer to warm up the track
sufficiently during colder outdoor tem-
peratures.
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.
