MAINTENANCE WARNING Track Maintenance n Track Inspection Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the machine, which could result in serious injury or death. Never operate with a damaged track. Never rotate a damaged track under power. 21 3 Using a hoist, safely lift and support the 1 2 rear of the snowmobile off the ground. Rotate the track by hand to check for possible damage. Carefully examine the track along the entire length of each rod, bending the track and inspecting for breakage. The three most common damage areas are shown in the illustration. Replace the track if any rod damage is found. Track Lubrication WARNING Operating with insufficient lubrication between the slider and track guide clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of braking ability, which can result in serious injury or death. The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for sufficient lubrication. Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication. A new slider can cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive wear. NOTE: If excessive slider wear occurs due to poor snow conditions, additional wheel kits are available. See your dealer for more information. Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor lubrication conditions will void the track warranty. NOTE: 96
