2. Measure the distance from the floor to midpoint of
the headlight.
3. Using the measurement obtained in step 2, make a
horizontal mark on the aiming surface.
4. Make a vertical mark which intersects the horizon-
tal mark on the aiming surface directly in front of
the headlight.
5. Engage the brake lever lock and start the engine.
Move the headlight dimmer switch to the HIGH
beam position. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe the headlight beam aim. Proper aim is
when the most intense beam is centered on the ver-
tical mark 5 cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark
on the aiming surface.

7. Adjust the headlight adjustment knobs until cor-
rect aim is obtained. Shut the engine off; then dis-
engage the brake lever lock.
Track Tension/Track Alignment
To adjust track tension/track alignment, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Elevate the snowmobile on a shielded safety stand
high enough to use a spring scale.
2. At mid-point of the track (on the bottom side),
hook a spring scale around a track clip; then pull
down on the scale to 9 kg (20 lb). Measure the
deflection (distance) between the bottom of the
wear strip and the inside surface of the track clip.
Compare the measurement with the chart.

3. Using Axle Nut Spanner Wrench (p/n 0644-558)
from the tool kit, loosen the right-side rear axle nut.


NOTE: Always loosen the right-side rear axle nut
when adjusting track tension/alignment. The left-
side rear axle nut is secured with green Loctite
#609 and should not be loosened or removed.
4. If the distance between the bottom of the wear
strip and the inside surface of the track clip
exceeds specifications, tighten the adjusting bolts.
If the distance between the bottom of the wear
strip and inside surface of the track clip is less than
specified, loosen the adjusting bolts.
5. When proper track deflection is attained, loosen
the right-side rear axle nut just enough to apply
blue Loctite #243 to the axle threads; then tighten
the nut to 40-45 ft-lb.
CAUTION
Track tension has been initially adjusted at the factory
for “run-up testing”; however, track tension (and track
alignment) must be adjusted at the dealership accord-
ing to the following recommendations.
! WARNING
The tips of the skis must be positioned against a wall
or similar object for safety.
