Track Lubrication MAINTENANCE WARNING Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide and track guide clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of braking ability, which can result in serious injury or death. Avoid operating for extended periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for lubrication. The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for sufficient lubrication. Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication. A new rail slide can cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive wear. NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor lubrication conditions will void the track warranty. CAUTION High speed use on hard-packed surfaces is not recommended for models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may occur. Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent slow-speed intervals for track cooling. 121

MAINTENANCE
Track Lubrication
WARNING
Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide and
track guide clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control
and loss of braking ability, which can result in serious injury or
death.
Avoid operating for extended periods on ice and other surfaces
that have little or no snow for lubrication.
The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for sufficient lubrication.
Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication. A new rail slide can
cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication, resulting in excessive
wear.
NOTE:
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under
other poor lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
CAUTION
High speed use on hard-packed surfaces is not recommended for
models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may
occur. Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent
slow-speed intervals for track cooling.
