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.
Check skags weekly to maintain positive steering characteristics.

Replace skags when they are worn to half their original diameter.

NOTE:

See the dealer track studding and skag chart for recommended skags.

Skag Replacement

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

mately 6" (15 cm) off the ground.

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

WARNING

Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling and can cause loss of

vehicle control, which can lead to serious injury or death. Replace worn skis

and/or skags when inspection reveals wear.
