3) Controlled Driving
A balanced combination of carbide ski
runners and studs ensures adequate
control and better handling, see illus-
tration.

CONTROLLED DRIVING
Acceleration
Studding the track will allow your sled
to accelerate better on packed snow
and ice but will have no noticeable ef-
fect on soft snow. This can cause sud-
den variations in traction under certain
conditions.
WARNING
To prevent surprises that could
lead to a loss of control of the
snowmobile, possibly resulting in
serious injury or death:
– Always go easy on the throttle.
– NEVER try to spin the track to
make the rear of the snowmo-
bile skid.
This could cause debris or ice to be
thrown violently backwards, pos-
sibly injuring others nearby or on
snowmobiles behind you.
Braking
As is the case for acceleration, stud-
ding the track will give you better brak-
ing capacity on packed snow or ice but
will have no noticeable effect on soft
snow. Braking may thus vary sudden-
ly under certain conditions. Be sure to
use restraint in braking to keep from
blocking the track in order to avoid sur-
prises that could lead to a loss of con-
trol.
Important Safety Rules
WARNING
To prevent serious injury to indi-
viduals near the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a
moving track.
– Always use a wide-base snow-
mobile stand with a rear deflec-
tor panel.
– When the track is raised off the
ground, only run it at the lowest
possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause de-
bris,
damaged or loose studs,
pieces of torn track, or an en-
tire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tun-
nel with tremendous force, possi-
bly resulting in the loss of a leg or
other serious injury.
Effects of Studding on the
Life of the Snowmobile
The use of traction enhancing prod-
ucts can increase the load and the
stress on certain snowmobile compo-
nents, as well as the vibration lev-
el. This can cause premature wear on
parts such as belts, brake linings, bear-
ings, chain, and chaincase sprocket,
and shorten track life. For this reason,
it is even more important to follow
the detailed maintenance program giv-
en in the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CHART.
