Track Maintenance
Track Alignment
Periodically check that the track is centered and running evenly on the
slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide
rail.
1. Safely support the rear of the snowmobile with the track off the
ground.
2. Start the engine and apply a small amount of throttle until the track
turns slowly at least five complete revolutions. Stop the engine and
let the track come to a stop (do not apply brakes).
3. Inspect track alignment by
looking through the track
window to make sure the rails
are evenly spaced on each
side. If the track runs to the
left, loosen the idler shaft
bolts, then loosen the left
locknut and tighten the left
adjusting bolt. If the track
runs to the right, loosen the
idler shaft bolts, then loosen
the right locknut and tighten
the right adjusting bolt.
4. After adjustments are com-
plete, tighten the locknuts and torque idler shaft bolts to 35 ft. lbs.
(47.5 Nm).
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment.
