MAINTENANCE

Track Tension

Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain cor-

rect tension and alignment.

Tip: Tension adjustments should be

made only after the track is

warmed up and limber.

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Lift the rear of the snowmo-

bile and safely support it off

the ground.

3. Place the recommended

weight or downward pressure

on the track at the specified

distance (see chart) ahead of

the center of the rear idler

wheel.

Tip: Measure at the point where the

weight is hanging.

WARNING

Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks and

adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all moving

parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the engine run-

ning.
