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.
