Track Tension
Track tension is directly related to the
overall performance of the snowmobile. If
the track is too loose, it may slap against
the tunnel causing wear or it may “ratchet”
on the track drive sprockets. If extremely
loose, the idler wheels may climb over the
track lugs forcing the track against the tun-
nel causing the track to “lock.”
CAUTION
Do not apply Loctite to the driven
clutch cap screw or component dam-
age may occur.
! WARNING
Never operate the snowmobile with-
out the belt guard/access panel
secured in place.
