9. Start machine and slowly rotate the track at least five
revolutions, let the track stop rotating by itself (do not apply
brakes).
10. Turn engine off.
11. Check track alignment (side to side) by comparing the
distance from the guide clip to Hi-fax on both sides.
Readjust until centered.
12. Tighten Idler Shaft Bolt (2)
13. Readjust the toe block (6) to within 1/8” (3.18mm) and
tighten.
REAR IDLER WHEELS
If idler wheel (7) assembly washers (8) are removed, be sure to
install them so that the domed side of the washer is facing
outward (9).
TRACK WARM UP
When storing your snowmobile outside overnight, it is
recommended that the track be warmed up prior to driving the
snowmobile. This reduces drive clutch wear. To warm up the
track, safely support the rear of the snowmobile off the ground,
start the engine and abruptly engage the clutch. Allow the track
to turn for a short time. Release the throttle, apply the brakes and
shut the engine off prior to lowering it to the ground.
SPARK PLUG
SPARK PLUG SELECTION
Original equipment parts or their equivalent should always be
used. However, the heat range of spark plugs is of utmost
importance. A spark plug with a heat range which is too high
will cause engine damage. A spark plug with a heat range which
is too low will cause excessive fouling and malfunction.
In selecting a spark plug heat range for production, a
manufacturer is forced to assume that the engine is going to
operated under extreme heavy duty conditions. This protects the
engine from internal damage in the event that the purchaser
actually does operate the engine in this manner. This selection
however, could cause the customer who normally operates the
engine under medium or light duty to have spark plug failure.
NOTE: Incorrect fuel mixture can often cause a
spark plug to appear to be too dark or too light in
color. Before changing spark plug heat ranges, be
sure the correct main jet is installed in the

WARNING
The snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track
which must be partially exposed for proper
operation. Serious injuries may be caused by
operator carelessness resulting in hands, feet, or
clothing becoming entangled in the track. Be alert.
Remember, being properly seated keeps you clear
of the track.
Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it
while warming up the track. A loose track or flying
debris could cause serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION
A plug with a heat range which is too high may cause
engine damage if the engine is operated in
conditions more severe than that for which the spark
plug was intended.
A new engine can cause temporary spark plug
fouling even though the heat range is proper, due to
the preservative which has been added during
assembly of the engine to combat rust and
corrosion. Avoid prolonged idle speeds, as plug
fouling and carbonization will result.
*Use recommended spark plug (NGK BR6ES)
*Proper electrode gap is.025,/0.635mm
*Spark plug torque is 12-14 ft. lbs. (16.5-19.3 Nm)
*Always carry spare spark plugs
