TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS
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 if it is necessary to ro-
tate track.
– 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.
Effects of Having a
Studded Track on the
Life of the Snowmobile
The use of traction enhancing products
can increase the load and the stress on
certain snowmobile components, as
well as the vibration level. This can
cause premature wear on parts such
as drive belts, brake linings, bearings,
chain, chaincase sprocket, and on ap-
proved studded tracks, shorten track
life. Always proceed with a visual in-
spection of your track before each
use. For more information, refer to
the
TRACK
in
MAINTENANCE PRO-
CEDURES
.
Studs on the track can also cause se-
rious damage to your snowmobile if
it is not equipped with the tunnel pro-
tectors designed for your particular
model. Damage to the electrical wiring
or perforation of the heat exchangers
are potential hazards, that could cause
the engine to overheat and be severely
damaged.
WARNING
If tunnel protectors are excessively
worn or not installed, the gas tank
could be punctured, causing a fire.
NOTICE
Ask your dealer for the
appropriate tunnel protectors model
and kit number required for your
snowmobile.
NOTE: Consult the BRP limited war-
ranty to find out what warranty limita-
tions are related to the use of studs.
Installation of Studs on
BRP Approved Tracks
WARNING
Never stud a track that has not
been approved for studs.
In-
stalling studs on an unapproved
track could increase the risk of the
track tearing or severing.
To ensure safe and proper installation,
BRP recommends to have the studs in-
stalled by your dealer.
– Use only the BRP approved special
studs.
– Never use studs that exceed the
height of your snowmobile’s track
profile by more than 9.5 mm (3/8 in).
