TRACK MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks and
adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all moving
parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the engine
running.
TRACK INSPECTION
WARNING
Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the snowmobile,
which could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a damaged
track. Never rotate a damaged track under power.
NOTICE
The figures below are for reference only. Your model may differ slightly.
1. Using a hoist, safely lift and support
the rear of the snowmobile off the
ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to check for
damage.
3. Carefully examine the track along
the entire length of each rod
q
.
Bend the track to check for
breakage.
4. Replace the track if any rod damage
is found.
WARNING
Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of track
damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time in
marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, and
cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include
frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.
