TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS
Controlled Driving
A balanced combination of carbide ski
runners and studs on the track ensures
adequate control and better handling,

CONTROLLED DRIVING
Acceleration
Using studs on the track will allow your
sled to accelerate better on packed
snow and ice but will have no notice-
able effect on soft snow. This can
cause sudden 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 in the case of acceleration, using
studs on the track will give you better
braking capacity on packed snow or
ice but will have no noticeable effect
on soft snow. Braking may thus vary
suddenly under certain conditions.
Be sure to use restraint in braking to
keep from blocking the track in order to
avoid surprises that could lead to a loss
of control.
Important Safety Rules
WARNING
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, pos-
sibly resulting in the loss of a leg
or other serious injury. To prevent
serious injury to individuals 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.
Traction Enhancing
Products Effect on the
Snowmobile Durability
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 belts, brake linings, bearings, chain,
chaincase sprocket, and on approved
studded tracks, shorten track life. Al-
ways proceed with a visual inspec-
tion of your track before each use. For
more information, refer to the
TRACK
section in MAINTENANCE INFORMA-
TION .
Studs on the track can also cause se-
rious damage to your snowmobile if it
is not equipped with the tunnel protec-
tors designed for your particular mod-
el. Damage to the electrical wiring or
perforation of the heat exchangers are
