MAINTENANCE

Track Replacement

When replacing the track, always install a track having the lug size rec-

ommended for your model. See your Polaris dealer.

Track Inspection

1. Using a hoist, safely lift and sup-

port the rear of the snowmobile

off the ground.

2. Rotate the track by hand to check

for damage.

3. Carefully examine the track along

the entire length of each rod.

Bend the track to check for break-

age.

4. Replace the track if any rod dam-

age is found.

CAUTION

Installing tracks with larger lugs on machines equipped with coolers will result

in damage to the cooler or tunnel. Always install a track having the lug size

recommended for your model.

WARNING

Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the machine, which

could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a damaged track.

Never rotate a damaged track under power.
