MAINTENANCE
Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track which must be partially ex-
posed for proper operation. Serious injuries may be caused by operator care-
lessness resulting in hands, feet, or clothing becoming entangled in the track.
Be alert. Remember, being properly seated keeps you clear of the track.
Track and Suspension
Under normal conditions moderate
track tension should be maintained
during summer storage. The rear of
the machine should be supported off
the ground to allow free hanging of the
track.
Track Tension
Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain correct tension
and alignment.
Tension adjustments should be
made only after the track is
warmed up and limber.
