TRACK ALIGNMENT
Periodically check that the track is centered and running evenly on the slide rails
q
. 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 bolt, then loosen the left locknut and tighten the left adjusting
bolt. If the track runs to the right, loosen the idler shaft bolt, then loosen the
right locknut and tighten the right adjusting bolt.
4. After adjustments are complete, tighten the locknuts and torque the idler
shaft bolt 55 ft. lbs. (75 Nm).
5. Repeat steps 2–3 to verify proper alignment.
