Brake Condition
Brake Adjustment
Hydraulic Brake
A hydraulic brake is not adjustable. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer
if any problems.
Rear Suspension Condition
Visually inspect all suspension components including slider shoes,
springs, wheels, etc.
NOTE: During normal driving, snow will act as a lubricant and coolant
for the slider shoes. Extensive riding on ice or sanded snow, will create
excessive heat build-up and cause premature slider shoe wear.
Suspension Stopper Strap Condition
Inspect stopper strap for wear and cracks, bolt and nut for tightness.
If loose inspect holes for deformation. Replace as required. Torque
nut to 9 N•m (80 lbf•
in ).
Track Condition
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and support it off the ground. With
the engine
off , rotate the track by hand, and inspect condition. If worn
or cut, or if track fibers are exposed, or if missing or defective inserts
or guides are noted; contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.

WARNING
The brake mechanism on your snowmobile is an essential
safety device. Keep this mechanism in proper working condi-
tion. Above all, do not operate the snowmobile without an
effective brake system. Periodically verify the condition/wear
of the brake pads.

WARNING
Do not modify track, including by installing traction enhancing
products. At speed it may cause the track to tear and separate
from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or death. Do not
operate or rotate a track if torn, damaged or excessively worn
(fibers showing.)
