CHAINCASE GEARING (IF EQUIPPED)
A speed sensor reads the speed of the brake disc on the jackshaft. The engine
management system uses this signal to determine vehicle speed.
If changes are made to either the upper or lower chaincase sprocket, the engine
management system must be updated to set the new drive ratio. Please see
your POLARIS dealer to reprogram the speedometer offset calibration if you
install different chaincase sprockets.

TRACK STUDDING
Track studding will enhance braking control on hard-packed snow or ice, but
extreme caution is still required on such surfaces. Steering ability may be
reduced on hard-packed snow or ice.
When studded tracks are used, increased wear to the brake pads will result from
increased braking and requires increased brake inspection intervals.
Installing studs can also cause the track to stretch more than a non-studded
track. For this reason, POLARIS recommends inspecting track tension more
often and setting the tension at the preferred measurement.
Always adhere to the manufacturer’s stud maintenance procedures and stud nut
torque specifications.
Before equipping your snowmobile with traction products, be aware of
regulations pertaining to the use of traction products in your area of operation.
STUDS
Track damage resulting from improperly installed or maintained studs is not
covered under warranty. Use only POLARIS-approved traction products on your
snowmobile. See your dealer for more information about installing studs and/or
carbides.
