MAINTENANCE
Track Inspection
WARNING
Never make this maintenance
check with the engine running, as
serious personal injury can result.
Using a hoist, safely lift and sup-
port the rear of the snowmobile off
the ground. Rotate the track by
hand to check for any possible
damage.
To inspect track rods, carefully
examine the track along the en-
tire length of each rod, bending
the track and inspecting for
breakage. The three most com-
mon places where breakage oc-
curs are shown in the illustration.
If any rod damage is found, the
track should be replaced.
WARNING
Broken track rods are a serious
hazard, since they can cause a
rotating track to come off the ma-
chine. Never operate or rotate a
torn or damaged track under
power. Serious personal injury or
death may occur.
