LUBRICATION
CHAIN LUBRICATION
Lubricate the chains every 8 to 10 hours of operation. We have found that the
use of Maxima Chain Wax for O- ring chains works best. It is recommended to
lift the track off the ground. Start the bike and put it into first gear and let the
clutch out allowing the drive system to spin. Slowly spray lube directly onto the
chain rollers and O-rings, soaking the chain. This will allow good penetration into
the moving chain parts.
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.
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
periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for lubrication.
If excessive rail slide wear occurs due to poor snow conditions, additional wheel
kits are available. Your dealer can provide more information.
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor
lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
For exhaust system inspection procedures, see your host bike’s owner’s
manual.
CAUTION
Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for the
exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine running.
