ESU00001 2- INTRODUCTION Congratulations!Your choice of a Yamaha snowmobile assures you of the highest quality and dependability. Your Yamaha snowmobile is manufactured by a company well-known for excellence in the field of snowmobiles. [. . . ] Operation of the snowmobile under the following conditions should be avoided at all costs: 1. Bare pavement Other conditions that should be avoided for the sake of drive track and slide runner life are: 1. Snow mixed with a lot of dirt and sand All the above conditions have one thing in common in regard to drive track and slide runners; little or no lubricating ability. Drive track and all slide rail systems require lubrication (snow or water) between the slide runners and the slide metal. In the absence of lubrication, the slide runners will rapidly wear and in severe cases, literally melt away, and the drive track will be subjected to damage or failure. Also traction aids such as studs, cleats, etc. , may cause further track damage or failure. WARNING @ Drive track damage or failure could result in loss of braking ability and snowmobile control, which could cause an accident. G Always check the drive track for damage or maladjustment before operating the snowmobile. G Do not operate the snowmobile if you find damage to the drive track. @ CAUTION: @ Ride on fresh snow frequently. Operating on ice or hard-packed snow will rapidly wear the slide runners. @ 7-8 ESU00251 Maximizing drive track life Recommendations Track tension During initial break-in, the new drive track will tend to stretch quickly as the track settles. Be sure to correct the track tension and alignment frequently. (See pages 8-22­8-24 for adjustment procedures. ) A loose track can slip (ratchet), derail or catch on suspension parts causing severe damage. Severe engine damage can result from hydrostatic lock. When possible, the fuel tank should be empty during transportation, especially if the trip will be longer than 30 minutes. If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer or truck, put a tight fitting cover on the snowmobile. A cover specifically designed for your snowmobile is best. This will help keep foreign objects out of the cooling vents in the shroud, and also help protect the snowmobile against damage from debris on the road. If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer or truck in areas where road salt is used, coat metal suspension surfaces lightly with oil or other protectant. This will help protect against corrosion. Be sure to clean the snowmobile when you get to your destination to remove any corrosive salts. 7-11 ESU00139 8- PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ESU00140 Periodic maintenance chart Regular maintenance is most important for best performance and safe operation.
