OPERATION
Track Warm-Up
Follow these steps to ensure proper warm-up
of the engine, drive train and track.
1. Use an appropriate stand to securely
support the rear of the snowmobile at the
rear bumper.
The track should be
approximately 4
″
(10 cm) off the
ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up
two to three minutes.
3. Depress the throttle abruptly and allow the track to rotate several
revolutions.
NOTE:
It will take longer to warm up the track
sufficiently during colder outdoor temperatures.
4. Release the throttle, apply the brakes, shut off the engine and lower
the machine to the ground.
5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to side.
This will loosen frozen snow from the ski bottoms, allowing the
machine to move forward more easily.
6. The engine, drive system and track are now properly warmed up and
the machine may be driven following normal safety practices.
A loose track or flying debris could cause serious personal injury
or death. Stand clear of the front of the machine and the moving
track. Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while
warming up the track. Do not use excessive throttle during
warm-up or when the track is free-hanging. Be sure the rear
support is stable.
WARNING
Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will
increase the possibility of track damage and/or failure. This could
cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or death. Always
inspect for track damage before operating the snowmobile.
