Ski Skags
See your dealer's studding chart for recommended skags. If you install
longer or more aggressive carbide skags than the original equipment, it
may also be necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle con-
trol while turning on hard-packed snow or ice.
WARNING! Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of
vehicle control may result, causing serious injury or death. Replace skags as
recommended.
Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensure positive steer-
ing characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their orig-
inal diameter. Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or
chipping is found.
Skag Replacement
Some models are equipped with single skags. Some models are
equipped with dual skags.
1. Raise and support the front of
the snowmobile so the skis are
approximately 6" (15 cm) from
the ground.
2. Remove the attaching nuts and
pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the front end of the
skag.
4. Remove the rear end of the
skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a
skag.
