Ski Skags
WARNING
Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of
vehicle control may result, causing serious injury or death.
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 control while turning on hard-packed
snow or ice.
Check skags weekly to maintain positive steering characteristics.
Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chipping is
found.
Skag Replacement
1. Raise and support the front
of the machine so the skis
are approximately 6″ (15.2
cm) from the ground.
2. Remove the attaching
hardware and pry the skag
downward.
3. Remove the forward
portion of the skag.
Reverse this procedure for new
skag installation.
