MAINTENANCE
Track Warm Up
When storing your snowmobile
outside overnight, it is recom-
mended that the track be warmed
up prior to driving the snowmo-
bile. This reduces belt and drive
clutch wear. To warm up the
track, safely support the rear of
the snowmobile off the ground,
start the engine and abruptly en-
gage the clutch. Allow the track to
turn for a short time. Release the
throttle, apply the brakes and
shut the engine off prior to lower-
ing it to the ground.
WARNING
Your snowmobile is propelled by
a revolving track which must be
partially exposed for proper op-
eration. Serious injuries may be
caused by operator carelessness
resulting in hands, feet, or cloth-
ing becoming entangled in the
track. Be alert. Remember, being
properly seated keeps you clear
of the track.
Never hold the snowmobile up or
stand behind it while warming up
the track. A loose track or flying
debris could cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
