Installation of Studs:
To ensure safe and proper installation, BRP recommends to have the
studs installed by your dealer.
– Use only studs, mounting plates, and bolts sold by BRP.
– Never use studs that exceed the height of your snowmobile’s track
profile by more than 9.5 mm (3/8 in).

WARNING
– Never stud a track that has not been approved for studs. Ap-
proved tracks can be identified by a stud symbol (see illustra-
tion) molded into the track surface.
– Studs should only be installed in the locations indicated by
molded bulges in the track surface.
– Never stud a track with a profile of 35 mm (1.375 in) or more.
– The number of studs installed must always perfectly match
the pattern of molded bulges in the track.
– Always consult the traction product manufacturer’s instal-
lation instructions and recommendations before having your
dealer install studs and runners. It is very important to follow
the torque specifications for the stud bolts.
INSTALLING AN INCORRECT NUMBER OF STUDS OR AN IM-
PROPER INSTALLATION CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF THE
TRACK TEARING OR SEVERING, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SE-
RIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
