Track Tension and Alignment
Track tension and alignment are interrelated. Do not adjust one with-
out the other.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury to individuals near the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a moving track.
– Always use a wide-base snowmobile stand with a rear de-
flector panel if it is necessary to rotate track.
– When the track is raised off the ground, only run it at the
lowest possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause debris, damaged or loose studs,
pieces of torn track, or an entire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tunnel with tremendous force,
possibly resulting in the loss of a leg or other serious injury.
Track Tension Verification
Ride the snowmobile in snow about 15 to 20 minutes prior to adjust-
ing track tension.
1. Remove tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch.
2. Lift rear of vehicle and support it off the ground.
