WARNING
You may stud the track on this ve-
hicle model. However, you MUST
only use the BRP approved type
stud. DO NOT EVER use conven-
tional studs as the track thickness
is thinner then other standard
tracks. The stud could tear off of
track and separate from vehicle
posing a potential risk of severe
injury or death.
See an autho-
rized SKI-DOO dealer for current
specific studding availability and
applications.
Depending on the model of snowmo-
bile that you own, your vehicle may
come with a track that has been ap-
proved by BRP for special studs instal-
lation, a track for which the manufac-
turer permits the installation of special
studs or a track for which the manu-
facturer forbids it.
Tracks approved for the installation of
special studs have a stud symbol (see
illustration) molded into the track sur-
face, and tracks not approved bear
a forbidden stud symbol (see illustra-
tion).
Before proceeding with the instal-
lation of special studs on tracks
you must contact your authorized
SKI-DOO snowmobile dealer for cur-
rent specific studding availability and
applications. You must first acquaint
yourself with the safety instructions
related to the studding of tracks, found
in the section entitled
TRACTION EN-
HANCING PRODUCTS in the SAFETY
INFORMATION section at the begin-
ning of this guide. This section also
provides other important information
that you must consider before having
studs installed on a track.

44.5 mm (1.75 in) and Higher
Generally, snowmobiles adapted for
mountain riding comes with tracks
equipped with high lug profiles. These
tracks are optimized for operation on
loose snow.
BRP does not recommend to ride a
snowmobile equipped with high lug
profile track at
high speed in a trail,
on hard packed surfaces or ice for an
extended period of time.
In the event that you have to, reduce
your speed , then minimize the dis-
tance you ride on those surfaces.
CAUTION: Running those tracks at
high speed in a trail, on hard packed
surfaces or ice put more stress on
the lugs, which tend to heat up as a
result. To avoid potential degrada-
tion or damage to the track, reduce
your speed, then minimize the dis-
tance you ride on those surfaces.
For general instructions on mainte-
nance of tracks, refer to the sections
TRACK CONDITION and TRACK TEN-
SION AND ALIGNMENT in the MAIN-
TENANCE section of this guide.
