Carbide Skags
A skag is a replaceable bar attached to the underside of the ski to assist
in turning the snowmobile and to prevent ski wear caused by contact
with roads and other bare terrain. Use carbide skags with studded
tracks to help maintain proper vehicle steering and control. See page
105.
If your machine has carbide skags, it may be necessary to add track
studs to maintain proper vehicle control. Maintain a proper balance
between the number of studs and the length of carbide on the skags
(the more studs you use, the longer the carbide on the skags should be).
See your dealer’s track studding chart.
Wear Strips
To avoid excessive tunnel wear, tunnel wear strips
must
be installed
whenever track studding is used. Install Wear Strip Kit P/N 2874687.
Wear strips are designed for a specific stud length. See your dealer’s
studding chart for recommended traction accessories.
CAUTION
Whenever wear strips are relocated, be sure there’s adequate
stud clearance to the heat exchangers. Lack of clearance may
result in damage to heat exchangers.
