MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING
To prevent serious injury to individuals near the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a moving track.
– Always use a wide-base snowmobile stand with a rear de-
flector panel if it is necessary to rotate track.
– When the track is raised off the ground, only run it at the
lowest possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause debris, damaged or loose studs,
pieces of torn track, or an entire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tunnel with tremendous force,
possibly resulting in the loss of a leg or other serious injury.
