CONTROLLED DRIVING
Acceleration:
Studding the track will allow your sled to accelerate better on packed
snow and ice but will have no noticeable effect on soft snow. This
can cause sudden variations in traction under certain conditions.

WARNING
To prevent surprises that could lead to a loss of control of the
snowmobile, possibly resulting in serious injury or death:
– Always go easy on the throttle.
– NEVER try to spin the track to make the rear of the snowmo-
bile skid.
This could cause debris or ice to be thrown violently back-
wards, possibly injuring others nearby or on snowmobiles be-
hind you.
Braking:
As is the case for acceleration, studding the track will give you better
braking capacity on packed snow or ice but will have no noticeable
effect on soft snow. Braking may thus vary suddenly under certain
conditions. Be sure to use restraint in braking to keep from blocking
the track in order to avoid surprises that could lead to a loss of control.
