ADJUSTING (F/M/XF)
NOTE: To ensure proper track tension adjustment,
perform all adjustments on both sides of the snow-
mobile.
1. Loosen the
idler wheel axle cap screws
.
0745-811
2. If the deflection (distance between the bottom of the
wear strip and the inside surface of the track clip)
exceeds specifications, tighten the adjusting bolts to
take up excessive slack in the track.
3. If the distance between the bottom of the wear strip
and the inside surface of the track clip is less than
specified, loosen the adjusting bolts to increase the
slack in the track.
4. Check track alignment (see Track Alignment sub-
section in this section).
5. After proper track tension is obtained, tighten the
idler wheel axle cap screws to 34 ft-lb.
NOTE: Since track tension and track alignment are
interrelated, always check both even if only one
adjustment seems necessary.
Track Alignment
NOTE: Proper track alignment is when the rear idler
wheels are equidistant from the inner drive lugs on
the inside surface of the track.
CHECKING/ADJUSTING
1. Remove excess ice and snow buildup from the track,
track drive sprockets, and the inside of the skid
frame.
2. Position the tips of the skis against a wall; then using
a shielded safety stand, raise the rear of the snowmo-
bile off the floor making sure the track is free to
rotate.
3. Start the engine and accelerate slightly. Use only
enough throttle to turn the track several revolutions.
SHUT ENGINE OFF.
NOTE: Allow the track to coast to a stop. DO NOT
apply the brake because it could produce an inaccu-
rate alignment condition.
4. When the track stops rotating, check the relationship
of the rear idler wheels and the inner track drive lugs.
If the rear idler wheels are centered between the
inner track drive lugs, no adjustment is necessary. If
not, proceed to step 5.
0745-809
5. On the Bearcat/F-Series/T-Series on the side of the
track which has the inner track drive lugs closer to
the rear idler wheel, loosen the adjusting bolt jam
nut; then rotate the adjusting bolt clockwise 1-1/2
turns.
CAUTION
Always maintain track tension within recommended
specification.
! WARNING
Always make sure the adjusting bolts are snug
against the axle and the idler wheel cap screws are
tightened to specifications. Failure to do so could
cause the track to become extremely loose and, under
some operating conditions, allow the idler wheels to
climb over the track lugs forcing the track against the
tunnel causing the track to “lock.” If a track “locks”
during operation, severe personal injury could result.
! WARNING
Make sure the ignition key is in the OFF position and
the track is not rotating before checking or adjusting
track alignment. Personal injury could result if contact
is made with a rotating track.
! WARNING
The tips of the skis must be positioned against a wall
or similar object for safety. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing away from moving components.
! WARNING
DO NOT stand behind the snowmobile or near the
rotating track. NEVER run the track at high speed
when the track is suspended.
