Track Warm-Up

WARNING
A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. Stand clear of the front of the snow bike and the moving track. Never hold the snow bike off the ground or stand behind it while warming up the track. Do not use excessive throttle during warm-up or when the track is free-hanging. Use a stable rear support.
WARNING
Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will increase the possibility of track damage and/or failure. This could cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or death. Always inspect for track damage before operating the snow bike.

Follow these steps to ensure proper warm-up of the engine, drive train and track.

  1. Use an appropriate stand to securely support the rear of the snow bike. The track should be about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground.

  2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up two to three minutes.

  3. Engage the throttle abruptly and allow the track to rotate several revolutions.

    TIP
    It will take longer to warm up the track sufficiently during colder outdoor temperatures.

  4. Release the throttle, apply the brakes, shut off the engine and lower the snow bike to the ground.

  5. Grasp the ski by the front loop and move it from side to side to loosen snow and ice.
