WARNING
Riding with a damaged track or studs could lead to a loss of
control, resulting in a risk of serious injury or death.
For complete information on traction enhancing products, refer to the
section entitled

Track Tension and Alignment
NOTE: Track tension and alignment are interrelated. Do not adjust
one without the other.

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
– 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.
Tension
NOTE: Ride the snowmobile in snow about 15 to 20 minutes prior
to adjusting track tension.
Remove the tether cord cap.
