Let’s take a
close look
at the
under-
carriage.
in
deep snow
it’s tough
to examine
the wheel
assembly and
track, but
it’s definitely
worth the
effort.
Look here.
The drive
sprocket
teeth need
at least
50
percent of
their rubber
to work
smoothly.
You should
also look
for any
separation
between the
rubber and
the steel
wheel rim.
Next, inspect the rubber
track for damaged ribs
and tears. it only takes
a 4-in tear to deadline
the track.
Four missing
ribs in a row
will deadline
it, too.
Clean up any
trash
that’s
lying around, too. You don’t
want something getting
trapped under the brake or
accelerator pedals!
Eyeball the engine and
transmission compartment
for fluid leaks or debris
before operation. if
you find
leaks,
let your
mechanic know.
Some
good
house-
keeping
is in
order.
All these PM pointers,
and lots more, are
found in the -10 TM.
yeahh…About
that -10 TM…
Really?!!
There’s an old inuit saying
that goes something like this,
‘‘Be smart… read your tech
manual
before
you start.’’
actually I just made
that up. But they’re
still
good words to go by!
well…
gOtTa
Go! I’m
expEcted
for
thanks-
giving
dinner.
I’ll let your
unit know where
you are. Just
remember what
I said…
Read
that manual!
That’s easy
for him to
say.
He didn’t
have to use
his manual for
firewood!
Well, guess I’d
beTter try to
get a few Hours
of shut-eye!
