SKI RUNNERS
The condition of ski runners/carbide bites have
a great effect on steering of snowmobile.
Check regulary the condition of ski runners/
carbide bites and change those, if:
•
The ski runner has been worn over half
of it’s diameter.
•
Some of carbide bites has been fall off
from the ski runner.
Changing a new ski runner

the back of the ski runner down (out from
the hole) and take off the ski runner.

Replacing the ski runner
SLIDE RAIL ADJUSTMENT
If you want to reach the best function of the slide rail system, you have to adjust the springs
and the shock absorbers to meat the circumstances which are influenced by the terrain
and the tracks, running speed, the weight of the driver and the passenger.
SLIDE RAIL SPRING ADJUSTMENT
Front spring, slide rail
•
Loose spring: higher ski pressure, the suspension smoothes the roughness better.
•
Stiff spring: lower ski pressure, the front end is bouncing more when driving fast on
bumpy terrain.
Rear spring, slide rail
•
The rear spring has an effect on driving comfort.
•
With a passenger the spring has to be stiffer (suspension “bottoms” in bumps).
