Track Alignment
WARNING
Before checking track alignment,
ensure that the track is free of all
particles which could be thrown
out while track is rotating. Keep
hands, tools, feet and clothing
clear of track. Always lift the snow-
mobile on a wide-base stand with
a rear deflector panel. Ensure no
one is standing in close proximity
to the snowmobile, especially at
the rear of the track. Never rotate
track at high speed.
Centrifugal force could cause de-
bris, pieces of torn track, or an en-
tire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tun-
nel with tremendous force, possi-
bly resulting in the loss of a leg or
other serious injury.
WARNING
Remove the tether cord cap (DESS
key) before performing any main-
tenance or adjustment, unless oth-
erwise specified. Vehicle must be
parked in a safe place, away from
the trail.
– Remove the tether cord cap (DESS
key).
– Loosen rear idler wheel retaining
bolts.
– Tighten the adjustment bolt on side
where the slider shoe is the farthest
from the track insert guides.
1. Lift rear of vehicle and support it off
the ground.
2. Start the engine and accelerate
slightly so that track barely turns.
This must be done in a short period
of time (15 to 20 seconds).
3. Check that the track is well cen-
tered; equal distance on both sides
between edges of track guides and
slider shoes.
