MAINTENANCE
Track and Suspension
Under normal conditions
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.
Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track which must be
partially exposed for proper operation. Serious injuries may be
caused by operator carelessness resulting in hands, feet, or
clothing becoming entangled in the track. Be alert. Remember,
being properly seated keeps you clear of the track.
