PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

Before Starting the Engine

n

Track Inspection

WARNING!

Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the 

possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious 

injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.

WARNING!

Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of 

track damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time 

in marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, 

and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include 

frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication 
conditions voids the track warranty.
