Traction Products
Another way to tailor your machine is to install traction products. See
your dealer about installing studs and/or carbides. Many tracks with
deep lug designs cannot be studded, but your dealer will be able to
offer advice and assistance.
CAUTION
Installing studs on models without wear strips will result in
damage to the cooler or tunnel. Always ensure that wear strips
are installed before installing studs. Always install the
Polaris-approved Switchback Wear Strip Kit before installing
studs on a Switchback. See your dealer for more details.
NOTE: Before equipping your machine with traction products, be
aware of the laws in your area pertaining to the use of
traction products.
Track studding will enhance braking control on hard-packed snow or
ice, but extreme caution is still required on such surfaces. Steering
ability may be reduced on hard-packed snow or ice.
WARNING
Loss of control can result in serious personal injury or death.
Proper balance of traction products on the skis and track must be
maintained to obtain proper vehicle control on hard-packed snow
or ice. See your dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
Use of studs longer than the recommended length on machines
equipped with coolers will result in damage to the cooler or
tunnel. Always use the recommended length studs.
