PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS Before Starting the Engine n Steering System Manually turn the skis completely to the right and to the left. If any difficulty is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering linkage. Make sure all greasable components are properly lubricated. n Track WARNING Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle. 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. 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 with inadequate lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, and cause other track damage. Examples of inadequate lubrication would include frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions. NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under poor lubrication conditions voids the track warranty. 42

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
n
Steering System
Manually turn the skis completely to the right and to the left. If any dif-
ficulty is encountered, check for ice and snow build-up that may be
obstructing the steering linkage. Make sure all greasable components
are properly lubricated.
n
Track
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 with inadequate lubrication could severely damage track rods,
break track edges, and cause other track damage. Examples of inade-
quate lubrication would include frozen bodies of water without snow
cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.
NOTE:
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under
poor lubrication conditions voids the track warranty.
WARNING
Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle. 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.
