MAINTENANCE

Track and Suspension

Under normal c onditions moderate

track tension should be maintained

during summer storage. The rear of

the machine should be supported off

the ground to allow free hanging of the

track.

Track Tension

Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain correct tension

and alignment.

Tension adjustments should be

made only after the track is

warmed up and limber.

1. Turn the machine off.

2. Lift the rear of the machine

and safely support it off the

ground.

3. Hang a 10 pound weight 8

inches from the center of the

rear idler wheel. The

deflection at this point with

this amount of weight should

measure 3/4″ between the

bottom of hi-fax and the

inside of the track.

NOTE: Measure at the point where the weight is hanging.

4. Check for specified slack between the wear surface of the track clip and the

plastic hi-fax (C).

Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track which must be partially ex-

posed for proper operation. Serious injuries may be caused by operatorcare-

lessness resulting in hands, feet, or clothing becoming entangled in the track.

Be alert. Remember, being properly seated keeps you clear of the track.
