Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered. Temper
the wear strips by driving the snowmobile
for approximately a mile on a hard pack
trail; then immediately drive into deep snow
and allow the wear strips to cool. Repeat the
procedure (warming up the wear strips; then
cooling them down) two or three times.
NOTE: The rail wear strips will wear
rapidly if the snowmobile is operated
on terrain on which the snow cover is
minimal. Loose snow is required to
cool and lubricate the wear strips and
prevent accelerated wear.
