SAFETY
OPERATION
Safe Operation Practices
1. Read and understand this user manual and all
warning and instruction labels before
operating a track-equipped vehicle.
2. Read the vehicle owner’s manual before
operating with tracks.
Follow all safety and operation warnings and
procedures.
3. Operate the vehicle in 4X4 mode when
operating with tracks. This will significantly
reduce the possibility of derailing.
4. The vehicle will handle differently when a
Track System is installed. Select an open area
that allows room to familiarize yourself with
vehicle operation and handling. Drive slowly at
first. On level surfaces, practice starting,
stopping, turning, maneuvering, using the
throttle and brakes and driving in reverse.
Learn how the vehicle handles when making
both left and right turns at a slow speed.
5. Track systems are designed to reduce ground
pressure and increase vehicle traction. For the
best traction, drive at slow speeds. Traction is
reduced at faster speeds.
6. Moving Track Systems can propel objects.
Drive slowly when operating near bystanders
and when traveling in a group with other
vehicles. Alert others in your group to the
potential for propelled objects in the wake of a
track-equipped vehicle.
7. Always travel at a speed appropriate for your
skills and operating conditions. Avoid
unexpected or aggressive maneuvers.
8. Operate the vehicle off-road only. Never
operate the vehicle on pavement or on any
public street, road or highway, including dirt
and gravel roads.
9. Travel slowly and use extra caution when
operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not all
obstacles are immediately visible.
10. When driving in deep snow, avoid spinning
the tracks, which could cause the vehicle to
become stuck. When under power, tracks will
continue to turn in deep snow even if the
vehicle fails to move.
11. When driving in snow, allow for a greater
braking distance. Periodically apply the brakes
while driving to prevent ice buildup on brake
components.
12. Never operate on a frozen body of water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HINTS AND TIPS
• Before leaving for an excursion, make sure to
bring with you the following: 13 mm, 14 mm, 15
mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, and 19 mm wrenches and
sockets, an ax, a shovel, a tow cable, a lifting
jack and an adjustable wrench.
• Generally, the slower you go, the better the
traction will be.
• If an excursion on unknown or remote terrain is
planned, make sure to have in your possession
a cellular or satellite phone, a first aid kit and
spare parts.
• If you drive off trails, always beware of hidden
obstacles.
• If you ride in deep snow, do not intentionally spin
the tracks (tracks are rotating but the vehicle is
not moving).This could cause the vehicle to get
stuck.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: A break-in period is necessary to allow
the components of the system to settle and adjust
themselves to each other.
During the break-in period (4 hours or 80
kilometers), follow these recommendations:
CAUTION: Avoid running under dry and clean
conditions. (For example: asphalt, hay or straw
field, etc.). Start sharp turns at very low speed: (10
km/h maximum real speed).
• A GOOD break-in period must be done in a
lubricated environment such as water, mud,
snow, soft soil, sand, dust, etc.
• A BAD break-in period can generate smoke,
odors of burned rubber as well as plastic deposits
on the sprocket and/or the frame.
CAUTION: Non-compliance with the usage
recommendations can lead to a warranty claim
refusal.
PRE-USE VERIFICATION
CAUTION: Before each ride make sure that the
System’s wheels and moving parts are free and that
they are not frozen or stuck on the frame.
CAUTION: Track systems installed on an ATV or SxS
project more snow, dirt, water, or mud than tires.
The owner/driver is responsible for adapting engine
and CVT air intakes to minimize the risks of
breakdowns and/or damage to mechanical
components.

WARNING
Driving a vehicle equipped with Track Systems is
different from driving a vehicle on wheels. It is
strongly recommended that the safety guidelines
provided below are followed to prevent any
accident and/or serious malfunction that could
affect the occupants, the vehicle or the Track
Systems.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEEP DESCENTS
CAUTION: It is not advisable to change direction
during steep descents. This can lead to a serious
malfunction of the vehicle’s steering system and
Track Systems.
CAUTION: During a steep descent, it is advisable to
keep the handlebars straight and to begin turning
when the vehicle is on flat ground, thus avoiding
subjecting the vehicle components and the System
to any high stress.
CAUTION: Reduce your speed at all times; Track
Systems installed on a vehicle do not have the
same absorption capacity as tires.
DESCENDING AND BEING STUCK IN
REVERSE
CAUTION: If the rear Track Systems get stuck in the
snow, avoid moving or towing the vehicle in reverse
to ease it from its position, as this could lead to a
malfunction of the Systems. If possible, move it in
the forward direction to free it from the snow.
CAUTION: It is advisable to remove the snow from
the top of the rear Track Systems and to compact it
behind the Systems, using your feet, to dislodge the
track. Shoveling remains the best alternative in this
situation.
CAUTION: Always operate in 4x4 mode, this
significantly reduces possibility of derailing in any
conditions.
WARNING
Allow for a greater braking distance and
periodically apply the brakes while driving to
prevent ice build-up on brake components.
WARNING
Adapt your driving style to surrounding conditions
(weather, traffic, etc.) and your driving abilities.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVING OVER AN OBSTACLE TALLER
THAN 30 cm [12 in]
CAUTION: It is not advisable to attempt to drive
over an obstacle taller than 30 cm [12 in], such as a
tree trunk, stump or big rock.
CAUTION: If the situation occurs, insert a log or a
rock to lower the height of the obstacle and
facilitate driving over the obstacle.
CAUTION: In loaded / working mode (100 kg and
over), reduce significantly your speed and be extra
careful on rough terrain.
CAUTION: Never exceed vehicle cargo and tow
capacity specified by your vehicle manufacturer on
any type of terrain.
DRIVING OVER A STEEP RIDGE
CAUTION: It is not advisable to attempt to drive over
an obstacle, such as a tree trunk, big rock or steep
ridge that could lodge itself between the front and
the rear Track Systems and immobilize the vehicle.
The best option is to bypass this type of obstacle.
DRIVING OVER AN OBSTACLE
WARNING
The driver must remain vigilant and cautious at
all times. Snow and mud can hide dangerous
obstacles.
WARNING
Always follow the ATV or SxS manufacturer safety
rules and recommendations regarding,
passengers transportation, maximum loads, etc.
WARNING
When travelling in groups, riders following
vehicles equipped with track systems should be
warned of dangerous objects that can potentially
be propelled by tracks. Be especially cautious on
rocky trails.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TOWING A VEHICLE OUT OF THE SNOW
CAUTION: If your vehicle must be towed out of the
snow, never tow it in the direction in which you
were riding when the vehicle got stuck.
CAUTION: Tow the vehicle back in the tracks left
before getting stuck.
LOCATION OF TOWING CABLE
CAUTION: If your vehicle must be towed out of the
snow, do not secure the towing cable on the Track
Systems.
CAUTION: The towing cable must be attached to the
vehicle’s frame.
LOADING AND UNLOADING A VEHICLE
IN A TRUCK
CAUTION: While loading or unloading a vehicle in
truck box, make sure that the front tracks do not
grip the tailgate locking gudgeons to avoid tearing
the tracks.
