SAFETY

OPERATOR SAFETY

Follow the recommended maintenance program on page 57 to ensure that all

critical components on the snow bike are thoroughly inspected at specific

intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Your dealer can perform

this service.

WARNING

Driving a snow bike requires your full attention. DO NOT drink alcohol or use

drugs or medications before or while driving. They will reduce your alertness

and slow your reaction time.

Snow bikes are capable of traveling at high speeds. Use extra caution to

ensure operator safety. Make sure your snow bike is in excellent operating

condition at all times. Always check major and vital safety components before

every ride.

All Timbersled snow bikes are designed and tested to provide safe operation

when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from

operation with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or

power. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snow bike may become

aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed.

Loss of control may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a

safety hazard and lead to bodily injury.

HOST BIKE

The Timbersled Snow Bike system is designed to be attached to a variety of

host bikes.

WARNING

Read and understand your host bike’s operation manual and follow all safety

and maintenance information. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or

death.

STAY CLEAR OF TRACK

Your snow bike is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed

for proper operation.

SAFETY

WARNING

Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the

track. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the

track. Never hold the snow bike up or stand behind it while warming up the

track. A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. We

recommend having your dealer perform all track service and alignment

procedures.

RIDING POSITION

Operating a Timbersled requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider

positions may vary with experience and the features available on some models,

but under many conditions the proper position is to be seated with both hands

on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake, and steering control. See your

host bike’s owners manual for proper riding position.

WARNING

Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in serious injury or

death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your vehicle.

RIDER CAPACITY

This Timbersled is designed for a single rider only. Never carry a passenger on

this vehicle.

RIDING APPAREL

SAFE RIDING GEAR

Always wear helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-

sleeve shirt, long pants, over-the-ankle boots and

seat belt (if equipped) at all times. Protective gear

reduces the chance of injury.

qHelmet

wEye Protection

eLong Sleeves

SAFETY

HELMET

Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding a

Timbersled vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established

safety standards. Clasp the buckle and pull each strap tight to ensure the helmet

is properly secured to the head.

Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S.

Department of Transportation (DOT) label.

Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania bear

the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists of a

circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the

distinguishing number of the country which has

granted approval. The approval number and serial

number will also be displayed on the label.

EYE PROTECTION

Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding

a Timbersled vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof

helmet face shield. Timbersled recommends wearing approved Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or

CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept clean.

CLOTHING

Be prepared, be warm and be comfortable when riding. Be aware of the weather

forecast, especially the windchill, and dress accordingly. See page 23.

WARNING

Avoid wearing loose clothing or long scarves, which can become entangled in

moving parts and cause serious injury. Always wear an approved helmet and

eye protection.

SAFETY

SURVIVAL PREPARATION

For your safety, always ride in a group. Always tell someone where you're going

and how long you expect to be gone. If it isn't possible to ride with others, and

you must travel into remote areas, always carry survival equipment that's

appropriate to the conditions you may encounter. Such equipment may include,

but is not limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a

signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cellular

telephone.

Always carry the owner’s manual on your snow bike. For added protection,

purchase and carry the following items on your snow bike as well:

• Extra Set of Spark Plugs

• Tow Rope

• Extra Oil

• Fuel Deicer

• Winter Survival Kit

• Spare Drive Chain

• Spare Chain Case Chain (if

equipped)

• Trail Map

• First Aid Kit

• Tool Kit

EXCESSIVE SPEED

WARNING

High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death.

Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.

Always observe all state and local laws governing snow bike operation and

speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. If your speed is

40 MPH (64 km/h), your snow bike is traveling about 60 feet (18 m) per second.

If you look back for only two seconds, your snow bike will travel about 120 feet

(36 m). If your speed is 60 MPH (96 km/h), your snow bike will travel about 180

feet (55 m) in two seconds.

Traveling at night requires extra caution. If your host bike is equipped with a

headlight, check headlight and taillight to ensure proper operation, and don’t

over-drive your headlight beam. Always be able to bring your snow bike to a

stop in the distance illuminated by the headlight.

SAFETY

HIDDEN OBSTRUCTIONS

Always be aware of surroundings and terrain when riding your snow bike.

Hazardous obstructions may be hidden beneath the snow. Striking a hidden

obstacle could cause loss of control of your vehicle and lead to serious injury or

death. Remain on established trails whenever possible to reduce exposure to

hazards. Changes in snow condition can greatly increase the likelihood of

impact from objects hidden beneath the snow. Take care when riding in light,

fluffy snow as it can easily conceal hazards from view and your snow bike will

ride lower in the snow. Early- and late-season riding also increases risk of

hitting objects when snow is fresh or starting to melt. Reduce speed and use

extra caution whenever riding in these conditions.

DRIVER AWARENESS

Slow down when traveling near poles, posts, or other obstacles. Be especially

alert if you're snow biking after dark. Always be on the alert for wire fences.

Single strands are especially dangerous, since there may be a great distance

between posts. Guy wires on utility poles are also difficult to distinguish.

Make sure the way is clear before crossing railroads and other roads and

highways. The noise of your snow bike will drown out the sound of approaching

vehicles. Look ahead, behind, and to both sides before turning or crossing

railroad tracks or highways. Steep embankments may also hide your view.

Always leave yourself a way out.

Variances in snow depth and/or water currents may result in uneven ice

thickness. You may drown if you break through the ice. Never travel on frozen

bodies of water unless you have first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to

support the weight and moving force of the snow bike, you and your cargo,

together with any other vehicles in your party. Always check with local authorities

and residents to confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire route.

Operators assume all risk associated with ice conditions on frozen bodies of

water.

When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined course

for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the snow bike before

allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them proper snow bike courtesy, and

enroll them in driver's training and safety courses.

DISABLED OPERATORS

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical

skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an increased risk of

loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death.

MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN RIDING

Mountainous terrain operation, even for experienced riders, can present

conditions and situations that could result in serious injury or death. Please

review all of the information about riding in mountainous terrain on the following

pages of this manual.

SAFETY

WARNING

An avalanche can occur at any time, in any conditions and on any slope.

The avalanche information provided in this manual should be considered basic

information and is not intended to replace your participation in an avalanche

safety training course. After reviewing the avalanche information in this manual,

be sure to participate in an avalanche safety training course before riding in

mountainous terrain. The training course will provide more information as well as

the opportunity to practice riding and using proper search and recovery

techniques.

For more information, education, training courses, and links to international

resources, visit www.avalanche.org or scan the QR Code® with your

smartphone or other device. See page 17.

GET THE SAFETY GEAR

In addition to carrying a spare chain, spark plugs and tools on each snow bike,

each person in your riding group should wear the recommended snow bike

riding apparel and carry (on their person) the following survival items when

riding in mountainous terrain:

• A digital avalanche beacon with new

“fresh” alkaline batteries

• An avalanche probe

• A compact shovel and hand saw

• A backpack (preferably an avalanche

air bag backpack)

• Emergency provisions, including the

following items:

– Small first aid kit

– Extra pair of gloves

– Extra dry socks

– Tow rope, map, compass/GPS

– Lighter or waterproof matches

– Signal mirror and whistle

– Bottled water

– High calorie snack food

– Compact emergency blanket

– Cell phone

– Radio

SAFETY

GET TO KNOW YOUR SAFETY GEAR

Following the safety gear and apparel recommendations will increase your

chances of survival if you encounter an avalanche or become stranded in the

backcountry, but even experienced and properly-equipped snow bikers, hikers

and skiers perish in avalanches or succumb to hypothermia. Using a beacon or

probe for the first time during an avalanche recovery operation, or not knowing

how to deploy your avalanche air bag backpack during a slide, should be

considered UNACCEPTABLE to you and all members of your riding group. It’s

critical that you know how to use the safetyand all members of your riding group

gear.

While you may know how to use your gear, you may have to rely on your

riding group to find you in an avalanche. Make sure they know how to use

their gear.

• Dress in layers. Multiple layers of clothing provide the best barrier to cold and

wind. Layers can be removed, but if you start out without enough layers, they

cannot be added later. Avoid cotton materials, which will freeze if they get wet.

• Wear highly visible gear.

• Try on all gear and equipment to make sure it fits and doesn’t interfere with

your riding capabilities. Place all survival aids in your backpack and wear the

backpack at all times. Non-essential items can be stored on the snow bike in

an accessory bag.

• Read and follow the manufacturer’s user and maintenance instructions for all

gear. If you have questions about how your gear works, contact the

manufacturer for more information.

• Practice using your beacons, shovels and probes with your riding group in

real-world conditions wearing all of your gear. Have someone hide an active

“transmitting” beacon by throwing it (not walking it) into a snowbank and

timing your group’s search for it.

• Test deploying your gear. If you own an avalanche air bag backpack, check

with the manufacturer’s test deployment guidelines and bottle weight

replacement specifications. Most air bag backpack manufacturers

recommend testing the pack once a year so you know it works and feel

comfortable with the bag and deployment time.

• Make sure your probe and shovel are in good condition and that you know

how to assemble them.

GET THE PICTURE

Slopes steeper than 30º are more prone to avalanches, but any slope should be

considered avalanche terrain, even small slopes with trees. Low-angle slopes

are also avalanche terrain if they have steeper slopes above them.

NOTICE

The 30º slope graphic is for illustration purposes only. The risk of an avalanche

is always present in mountainous terrain, regardless of slope angle.

SAFETY

Always look for the following warning signs of unstable snow. If you see or hear

any of these signs, riding on or below any slope is dangerous and should be

avoided:

• Recent avalanches

• A “whumpfing” sound under a

snowpack

• Cracks across the top of a snowpack

• A recent heavy snowfall

• Blowing snow

• Rain

• Rapid warming

GET OUT OF HARM’S WAY

• Before riding, always tell a responsible person (i.e. at the lodge or gas station)

where your group is going.

• Never ride alone. Always ride in a small, manageable group. Riding in a large

group makes it more difficult to track riders or find missing members.

• Go “one at a time”. Only one snow bike at a time should cross, ascend or

highmark a slope. Other riders should watch from a safe location until the

previous rider exits the slope.

• Never park at the base of a slope or at the bottom of a gully or valley. When

parking to take a break or watch other riders, park at the sides of the slope

with the front of your snow bike pointed away from the slope.

GET TO KNOW YOUR SNOW BIKE

Because Timbersled snow bikes feature tall track paddles, the rear suspension

rails and sliders will sit above the snowpack on a groomed trail. Always deploy

the scratchers and limit high speed operation when trail riding.

Always practice riding your snow bike in a safe, open, flat area before attempting

your first ride in mountainous terrain. This is especially important for low-

elevation riders who are not accustomed to riding a snow bike designed for deep

snow.

Do not ride in mountainous terrain until you are comfortable riding and

controlling your snow bike in deep snow.

• Practice turning, leaning and braking, both on the trail and off the trail. When

you’re comfortable with these maneuvers, practice more advanced

maneuvers in deep flat snow.

• Learn techniques from more experienced riders.

SAFETY

• Practice traversing through deep snow, which is when you will often need to

steer by leaning your body weight in the desired direction.

• Practice using proper throttle control to maintain vehicle momentum and

adequate track speed in deep snow. Everyone gets stuck at some point in

time. If you know your snow bike is becoming stuck, try to turn downhill as

much as you can before the snow bike comes to a stop.

GET THE FORECAST

Make a riding plan based on the current avalanche

and weather forecast. It is important to remember that

overnight weather conditions may have created unsafe

riding terrain that was considered safe the day before.

Visit www.avalanche.org or scan the QR Code®.

Follow the page links to locate current avalanche

reports and conditions for your area of operation.

GET AVALANCHE SAFETY TRAINING

Timbersled recommends you and all members of your

riding group participate in an avalanche safety course.

Visit www.avalanche.org/education or scan the QR

Code® for education and training resources.

AVALANCHE AWARENESS

Avalanches are a matter of timing. A steep slope can be safe one day, but

unsafe the next day due to changing weather and wind conditions.

• Always review the user instructions provided with your safety equipment and

follow the recommendations for maintenance, testing and use. Always test

your safety equipment to ensure it works properly before riding in

mountainous terrain.

• Always store your survival gear in your backpack and wear the backpack. Do

not store your survival gear on the snow bike.

• Always research current avalanche conditions in your area of operation

before riding. Check with local law enforcement, resort or lodging personnel,

gas station attendants and other riders to learn about current conditions and

any advisories in the area.

SAFETY

• Read and understand the avalanche danger scale. Pay attention to any

danger level warnings issued for your area of operation.

• Always remain alert while riding in mountainous terrain. Be aware of

snowpack conditions above you as you ride. Avalanches can occur at any

time regardless of current condition reports.

SAFETY

ICE AND SNOW BUILD-UP

WARNING

Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering and braking of your snow

bike, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the snow bike free of snow and

ice.

Before driving, manually turn the ski to the left and right to be sure ice and snow

are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty is encountered,

remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

WARNING

Never attempt an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery

surfaces. Proceed slowly and use extra caution. Driving on ice or hard-packed

snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in loss of control

and serious injury or death. Slow down and use extra caution when operating

on slippery surfaces.

INADEQUATE SNOW CONDITIONS

NOTICE

Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide

rail, track, ski, ski skags, and/or spindle.

WARNING

Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and

track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can result in serious

injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate

cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating for

prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

OPERATING IN DEEP SNOW

If the snow bike becomes stuck in snow, clear the track and tunnel area of snow,

then step down the snow in front of the snow bike so that when the throttle is

opened, the snow bike will be able to climb up and over the snow.

SAFETY

DRIVING DOWNHILL

When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snow bike and reduce

your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep the engine from

stalling, allowing the engine's compression to help slow the snow bike and keep

it from rolling freely downhill.

WARNING

When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes

may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake failure.

Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also cause

an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of

brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.

DRIVING IN HILLY TERRAIN

WARNING

Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of balance and

rollover, causing serious injury or death. Use caution and good judgement

when driving in hilly terrain.

Use extra caution when operating in hilly terrain. If climbing a hill is unavoidable,

keep your weight low and forward. If you must cross the face of a slope, keep

your weight on the uphill side of the snow bike to maintain proper balance and

avoid possible roll-over.

Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to obstacles,

sharp drops or other people or vehicles that may be on the other side of the hill.

If you're unable to continue up a hill, turn the snow bike downhill before it loses

momentum. If this isn't possible, spin the track just enough to dig in to prevent it

from rolling back down the hill. Stop the engine. Keeping away from the downhill

side of the snow bike, pull the rear of the snow bike around and point the front

end and skis downhill. Remount the snow bike, restart the engine, and descend

the hill carefully.

COLD WEATHER DRIVE-AWAY

Whenever your snow bike has been parked for a length of time, especially

overnight, always make sure the ski and track are loosened from ice and snow

before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with enough authority to put the

snow bike into motion, but always operate within safety limits.

CAUTION

Reference host bike’s owner’s manual to insure bike is adequately prepared

for cold temperature conditions.

SAFETY

MANEUVERABILITY

While much control and maneuverability is achieved through the steering

system and ski, maximum control is achieved by the shifting of your body

weight. Maneuverability will change for lighter operators.

DRIVING RESPONSIBLY

Every snow bike handles differently, and even the most benign conditions may

become dangerous if operators drive improperly. If you're new to snow biking,

acquaint yourself with the snow bike and with what it will and won't do under

various conditions. Even seasoned drivers should spend some time getting the

feel for a snow bike before attempting ambitious maneuvers.

• A snow bike depends on the rider's body position for proper balance in

executing turns, traversing hills, etc. Always start on a smooth, level area to

begin building your operating experience.

• Before allowing someone else to use your snow bike, know the extent of their

operating skills. Check to see if they've taken a safety course and have an

operator's certificate. For their protection, as well as yours, make sure they

take a safety course. Everyone can benefit from the course.

• Don't “jump” your snow bike over large drifts or similar terrain. Jumping may

injure your back because of spinal compression that could occur when the

snow bike impacts the ground. The seat and suspension of your snow bike

have been designed to provide protection under normal riding conditions.

Your snow bike is not intended for this kind of use.

• Be courteous to oncoming traffic by dimming your headlights (if equipped)

and reducing your speed.

• When traveling in a group of snow bikes, don't tailgate (follow too closely).

Leave enough distance between snow bikes to provide ample stopping room

and to provide protection from flying snow and debris. Allow even more

distance when driving on slippery surfaces or when driving in darkness or

other low visibility conditions. Be aware of any traffic around your vehicle.

Drive defensively to avoid accidents.

• If equipped, remove the key from the ignition when you leave the snow bike

unattended.

eSpring Preload Adjuster

rShock Clicker (if equipped)

IMPORTANT

Prior to adjusting spring preload, always lay the snow bike on it’s side or

elevate it off the ground. The shocks must be fully extended for proper preload

adjustment.

The best suspension setting depends on many variables including the riding

terrain and the rider’s weight, riding style, and individual preferences.

THE PERFECT FIT

SPRING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT (ALL MODELS)

All shocks installed on Timbersled snow bikes are equipped with spring preload

adjusters. For factory spring settings, see the suspension setup section for your

particular model.

CAUTION

DO NOT EXCEED the MIN / MAX preload values (defined by the tables in this

section). Never adjust spring preload shorter than the minimum allowable

length. Adjusting shorter than this length could result in damage to the

suspension. Failure to comply may result in injury or damage to equipment.

ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION

For those that wish to customize the ride quality of their snow bike, complete the

following procedure:

1. Test ride your snow bike on preferred terrain to feelRide your snow bike.

out the factory suspension settings prior to making any adjustments. Optimal

suspension settings can change depending on terrain and skill level.

2. Turn bike on side or elevate so shocks are fully extended.

NOTICE

Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of the

vehicle removed from the shock and the shock is at full extension. Make spring

preload adjustments in small increments (approximately 1/16th of an inch) and

test ride quality between adjustments.

3. Tune vehicle balance using rear shock preload adjuster. Adjusting the

rear shock’s spring preload affects the smoothness of your ride by controlling

the amount of weight transferred by the suspension. Increasing the preload

will decrease the amount of weight transferred. Heavier riders will typically

require more preload than lighter riders.

TIP

A spanner wrench is needed to adjust the preload on IFP and Walker Evans

shocks. (Polaris P/N: 2871095-329)

•For LESS weight transfer, increase the rear shock spring preload by

turning the preload adjuster clockwise.

•For MORE weight transfer, decrease the rear shock spring preload by

turning the preload adjuster counterclockwise.

4. Tune ski pressure. Manipulating the front shock spring preload in addition to

the rear, will also adjust the snow bike’s ski-to-ground pressure. If the ski-to-

THE PERFECT FIT

ground pressure is too heavy or light, the bike may experience difficulties in

steering and stability on certain terrain.

•If ski-to-ground pressure is TOO HEAVY, increase the front shock spring

preload and decrease the rear shock preload.

•If ski-to-ground pressure is TOO LIGHT, decrease the front shock spring

preload and increase the rear shock preload.

TIMBERSLED SUSPENSION STRUT SX SHOCKS

(IF EQUIPPED)

The Timbersled Strut SX Shock Body suspension system (TSS) is designed to

increase your snow bike’s performance and enhance responsive steering and

handling. For maximum suspension performance, follow the tuning instructions

below.

NOTICE

Installation instructions are provided with the TSS accessory kit. For

replacement instructions, see your local Timbersled dealer or visit the

Timbersled website.

SHOCK TRAVEL

The TSS shock O-ring, found on the outer shock body, is designed to gauge the

amount of shock travel. To measure the amount of shock travel using the O-ring,

follow these steps:

1. Slide the TSS O-ring down to the lowest position.

2. Ride the snow bike for approximately 10 minutes. Then shut down the

engine and dismount the bike.

3. Elevate snow bike so the weight of the vehicle is removed from the shock

and the TSS shock is at full-extension.

THE PERFECT FIT

4. Measure how much the O-ring has moved by calculating the distance

between the O-ring’s starting position and post-ride position.

NOTICE

O-ring movement equals the amount of TSS shock travel. The TSS shock has

a max travel distance of 1.5 in until it will bottom out. The recommended

amount of shock travel is approximately 1-1/8 in of stroke.

5. Tune the TSS shock in increments of 25 psi to reach the targeted amount of

shock travel (1.13 in) and accomplish perfect calibration.

ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE

NOTICE

The TSS Shock is factory preset at 260 psi. Use a FOX® Float air pump to

adjust the spring rate and preload of the TSS Shock.

CAUTION

DO NOT EXCEED the minimum or maximum pressure values specified below.

Pressurizing above or below these settings could result in damage to the

suspension. Failure to comply may result in injury or damage to equipment.

THE PERFECT FIT

Suggested TSS Pressures

Setting PSI

Minimum Setting 200

Factory Setting 260

Maximum Setting 400

1. Turn bike on side or elevate so the weight of the vehicle is removed

from the shock.

2. Remove the valve cap q.

3. Thread the pump onto the valve-stem until the pump pressurizes and

supplied pressure is readable on the gauge.

NOTICE

During pressurization of the air pump, the shock will depress 20 psi to fill the

pump hose. When checking the air pressure, compensate for this loss by

adding 20 psi to the reading.

4. When finished, detach the air pump.

NOTICE

When tuning your TSS shock, add or subtract air pressure in increments of 25

psi at a time. Do not get snow or water inside the valve stem as this could

cause an air leak in the shock. After each 25 psi increment of adjusted air

pressure, slide the O-ring back to the lowest position and ride your snow bike

for approximately 10 minutes before rechecking shock travel distance.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

BRAKES

Always check the following items for proper operation before starting the engine.

BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL

Squeeze the brake lever. It should move no closer to the handgrip than 1/2 inch

(1.3 cm). A smaller distance indicates low brake fluid level or air in the hydraulic

system. Your dealer can assist.

LEVER FEEL

If the brake lever feels “spongy” when squeezed, check the brake fluid level and

condition.

WARNING

Continued use of “spongy” brakes may cause a complete loss of brakes, which

could result in serious injury or death. Always have the brakes serviced at the

first sign of sponginess.

NOTICE

To gain 100% braking performance, Timbersled recommends performing 20–

50 stop cycles of the Timbersled Brake System before first ride. Brake cycles

should be performed at a slow controlled speed in a flat, open environment.

Starting the snowbike and engaging it into gear, allow the track to spin 3–5 full

rotations. Apply moderate pressure to the brake until the track is completely

stopped and is no longer spinning. Repeat as necessary.

TRACK

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication

conditions voids the track warranty.

WARNING

Operating the snow bike with a damaged track increases the possibility of track

failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or death.

Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.

CAUTION

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 in

marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, and

cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include

frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.

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.

OPERATION

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.

SLIDE RAIL AND TRACK COOLING

NOTICE

Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and

track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and frequently

drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail

and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

DEEP LUG TRACK OPERATION

Deep lug tracks are designed specifically for operation in deep snow conditions.

Operation with deep lug tracks on low snow, hard-packed trails, ice, or at

sustained high speeds may cause track overheating, track lug separation, and/

or rail slide damage.

NOTICE

Track damage attributed to track overheating and/or lug separation is not

covered under the Timbersled limited warranty policy.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT

Timbersled ARO 3” models have a recommended maximum sustained speed

limit of 50 MPH. To avoid track/lug damage, never exceed this maximum
