Before Starting the Engine n Track PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS 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 damage 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. Deep Lug Tracks (if equipped) The 2.4" powder track is designed specifically for deep snow applications. Operation in low snow conditions at high speeds may cause track lug separation. Track lug separation is not covered under the Polaris limited warranty policy. Polaris does not recommend operation above 70 mph with this track. CAUTION High speed use on hardpacked surfaces is not recommended for models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may occur. Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent slow-speed intervals for track cooling. 55

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
damage 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.
Deep Lug Tracks (if equipped)
The 2.4” powder track is designed specifically for deep snow
applications. Operation in low snow conditions at high speeds may
cause track lug separation. Track lug separation is not covered under
the Polaris limited warranty policy.
Polaris does not recommend
operation above 70 mph with this track.
CAUTION
High speed use on hardpacked surfaces is not recommended for
models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may
occur. Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent
slow-speed intervals for track cooling.
