WARNING
– See an authorized SKI-DOO
dealer for current specific stud-
ding availability and applica-
tions.
– DO NOT EVER use convention-
al stud because, the track thick-
ness is thinner then our stan-
dard tracks and the stud could
tear off of track and separate
from vehicle posing a potential
risk of severe injury or death.
– Studs should only be installed in
the locations indicated by mold-
ed 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 recom-
mendations 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 IN-
CREASE THE RISK OF THE TRACK
TEARING OR SEVERING, POS-
SIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.

TION OF YOUR TRACK BEFORE
