Inadequate Snow Conditions
Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension
and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow
cover is a requirement for operation of your snowmobile.
NOTICE:
Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to
the slide rail, track and/or engine.
WARNING!
Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the
slide rail and track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can
result in serious injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to
allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid
operating for prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.
Operating in Deep Snow
If the machine becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area of
snow, then step down the snow in front of the machine so that when the
throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and over the
snow.
