Ski Skags
WARNING! Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of
vehicle control may result, causing serious injury or death.
See your dealer's studding chart for recommended skags. If you install
longer or more aggressive carbide skags than the original equipment, it
may also be necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle con-
trol while turning on hard-packed snow or ice.
Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensure positive steer-
ing characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their orig-
inal diameter.
TIP: Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chipping is found.
Skag Replacement
Some models are equipped with single
skags. Some models are equipped with
dual skags.
1. Raise and support the front of the
machine so the skis are approxi-
mately 6
I
(15.2 cm) from the
ground.
2. Remove the attaching hardware
and pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the front end of the skag.
4. Remove the rear end of the skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a skag.
