MAINTENANCE
Track Replacement
When replacing the track, always install a track having the lug size rec-
ommended for your model. See your Polaris dealer.
NOTICE: Installing tracks with larger lugs on machines equipped with coolers
will result in damage to the cooler or tunnel. Always install a track
having the lug size recommended for your model.
Track Inspection
1. Using a hoist, safely lift and sup-
port the rear of the snowmobile
off the ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to check
for damage.
3. Carefully examine the track along
the entire length of each rod.
Bend the track to check for break-
age.

age is found.
WARNING
Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the machine, which
could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a damaged track.
Never rotate a damaged track under power.
