TRACK STUDS
0726-207
Studs must be installed only on the
center belt using the pattern illus-
trated. For proper installation, use
the following procedure:
1. Measure 38 mm (1 1/2 in.) in
from the edge of the center belt;
then drill the stud hole using the
proper-sized hole drill.
2. Push the stud through the hole
from inside the track; then place
the domed support plate and
lock nut on the exposed stud.
3. Using a wrench to secure the
stud, tighten the lock nut on the
exposed stud.
It is also recommended that when-
ever studs are installed on a track,
c a r b i d e w e a r b a r s s h o u l d b e
installed on the skis. Carbide wear
bars complement the track studs to
balance steering control under these
conditions. The length of the carbide
on the wear bars should be propor-
tionate to the number of track studs
(i.e. small number of track studs —
short length of carbide...many track
studs — long length of carbide). The
proper proportion between the num-
ber of studs and carbide length on
the wear bar will maintain steering
balance.
NOTE: Stud or hooker plate
installation will void track and
tunnel warranty.
! CAUTION
To protect the tunnel from pos-
sible damage from the studs, it
is recommended that Stud Pro-
tection Wear Strips be installed
o n t h o s e m o d e l s n o t s o
equipped.
! WARNING
Always balance the snowmo-
bile with the proper proportion
between the number of studs
and carbide length on the wear
bars. Do not “over drive” condi-
tions; use common sense in all
operating conditions.
! CAUTION
Do not use studs that are more
than 9.525 mm (0.375 in.) longer
than the track lug height. Also,
do not install studs in the outer
track belts.
! WARNING
Do not operate a snowmobile
with loose studs as they may be
thrown from the track. Always
use a shielded safety stand
whenever performing any main-
tenance or adjustments.
