SKI SKAGS
WARNING
Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of vehicle control
may result, causing serious injury or death. Your dealer's studding chart can
provide the recommended skags. If you install longer or more aggressive
carbide skags than the original equipment, it may also be necessary to add
track studs to maintain proper vehicle control while turning on hard-packed
snow or ice.
Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensure positive steering
characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their original
diameter.
TIP
Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chipping is found.
SKAG REPLACEMENT
1. Raise and support the front of the
snowmobile so the skis are
approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm)
from the ground.
2. Remove the three (3) attaching nuts
q
and pry the skag
w
downward.
3. Remove the front end of the skag.
4. Remove the rear end of the skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a skag.
