SAFETY Operator Safety Inadequate Snow Conditions WARNING Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice. Doing so could cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious injury. Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow cover is a requirement for operation of your machine. Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail, track and/or engine. If the machine becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area of snow, then step down the snow in front of the machine so that when the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and over the snow. CAUTION When operating on icy surfaces or hard-packed snow, avoid overheating the slide rail and track. Lack of lubrication and cooling will cause overheating of the slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure. If frequently operating in low cooling conditions, see your dealer for an optional wheel kit that will reduce the wear from overheating. 18
