TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS
WARNING
– See an authorized Ski-Doo
dealer for current specific stud-
ding availability and applica-
tions.
– DO NOT EVER use conventional
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.
– Studs should only be installed
in the locations indicated by
molded bulges in the track sur-
face. Some track models have
two types of molded bulges;
triangles and circles. See the
warning molded into the track
surface to know which one to
use.
– 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.
Inspection of a Studded
Track
PROCEED WITH A VISUAL INSPEC-
TION OF YOUR TRACK BEFORE
EACH RIDE.
Look for any defects, such as:
– Perforations in the track
– Tears in the track (particularly
around traction holes on studded
tracks)
– Lugs that are broken or torn off, ex-
posing portions of rods
– Delamination of the rubber
– Broken rods
– Broken studs (studded tracks)
– Bent studs (studded tracks)
– Missing studs
– Studs that are torn off the track
– Missing track guide(s)
– Loose studs.
On approved studded tracks, replace
broken or damaged studs immediately.
If your track shows signs of deteriora-
tion, it must be replaced immediately.
When in doubt, ask your dealer. Al-
ways proceed with a visual inspection
of your track before each use.
WARNING
Riding with a damaged track or
studs could lead to loss of control.
