2. The measurement from in front of the spindle to
the outer edge of the ski (without using the
straightedge) must not exceed the rear measure-
ment by more than 0.0-12.7 mm (0-1/2 in.) toe-out.
NOTE: Some operating conditions may require
more toe-out than recommended; however, more
toe-out causes more “drag.”
Test Ride
Test ride the snowmobile 5 to 10 minutes. During and
after the test ride, do the following:
1. Burnish the brake pads by driving the snowmobile
slowly and compressing the brake lever repeatedly
until the pads just start to heat up; then allow them
to cool down. This process stabilizes the pad mate-
rial and extends the life of the pads.
2. Allow the engine to cool; then visually check cool-
ant level. Add coolant as necessary.
3. Recheck track alignment and tension.
4. Check the engine compartment and underneath the
snowmobile for any signs of fluid leaks (gas, cool-
ant).
! WARNING
The measurement taken in front of the spindle must
never be less than the measurement taken behind the
spindle or poor handling will be experienced. Neglecting
to lock the tie rod by tightening the jam nuts may cause
loss of snowmobile control and possible personal injury.
