Track Replacement

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

ommended for your model. See your Polaris dealer.

NOTICE: Installing tracks with larger lugs on machines equipped with coolers

will result in damage to the cooler or tunnel. Always install a track hav-

ing the lug size recommended for your model.

Track Inspection

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.

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

breakage.

4. Replace the track if any rod

damage is found.
