Brake Condition
Brake Adjustment
No adjustment is provided for hydraulic brake. See an authorized
SKI-DOO dealer if any problems.
Rear Suspension Condition
Visually inspect all suspension components including slider shoes,
springs, wheels, etc.
NOTE:
During normal driving, snow will act as a lubricant and coolant
for the slider shoes. Extensive riding on ice or sanded snow, will
create excessive heat build-up and cause premature slider shoe wear.
Suspension Stopper Strap Condition
Inspect stopper strap for wear and cracks, bolt and nut for tightness.
If loose inspect holes for deformation. Replace as required. Torque nut
to 7 N• m (62 lbf•
in
).
Track Condition
Remove tether cord cap.
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and support it with a wide-base snow-
mobile mechanical stand. With the engine off, rotate the track by
hand, and inspect condition. If worn or cut, or if track fibers are ex-
posed, or if missing or defective inserts or guides are noted; contact
an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
WARNING
The brake mechanism on your snowmobile is an essential
safety device. Keep this mechanism in proper working condi-
tion. Above all, do not operate the snowmobile without an ef-
fective brake system. Periodically verify the condition/wear of
the brake pads.
WARNING
Remove tether cord cap before performing any maintenance
or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehicle must be
parked in a safe place, away from the trail.
