MAINTENANCE

Ski Skags

The skag is a replaceable

bar attached to the

underside of the ski. The

purpose of the skag is to

assist in turning the

snowmobile and to prevent

the wearing away of the ski

caused by contact with

roads and other bare

terrain. We recommend

that skags be checked once

a week to maintain positive

steering characteristics.

Skags must be replaced

when worn to half their

original diameter.
NOTE: See dealer track studding and skag chart for recommended

skags.

Skag Replacement

1. Raise and support the front of the machine so the skis are

approximately 6″ (15.2 cm) from the ground.

2. Remove the attaching nuts and pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the forward portion of the skag.
Reverse this procedure for new skag installation.

Skag

Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling.

Loss of vehicle control may cause serious injury or death.
