Track Maintenance
Track Inspection
1. Using a hoist, safely lift and
support the rear of the snow-
mobile off the ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to
check for damage.
3. Carefully examine the track
along the entire length of each
rod (
✪
). Bend the track to
check for breakage.
4. Replace the track if any rod
damage is found.
Track Lubrication
The slide rail needs snow for lubrication. Excessive wear indicates
insufficient lubrication. A new rail slide can cause faster heat build-up
in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive wear.
NOTE:
If excessive rail slide wear occurs due to poor snow conditions,
additional wheel kits are available. See your dealer for more
information.
NOTE:
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under
other poor lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
WARNING
Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the machine, which
could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a damaged track.
Never rotate a damaged track under power.
WARNING
Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide 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. Avoid operating for extended peri-
ods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for lubrication.
