Track Alignment
Periodically check that the track is centered and running evenly on the
slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide
rail.
1. Safely support the rear of the snowmobile with the track off the
ground.
2. Start the engine and apply a small amount of throttle until the track
turns slowly at least five complete revolutions. Stop the engine and
let the track come to a stop (do not apply brakes).
3. Inspect track alignment by
looking through the track
window to make sure the
rails are evenly spaced on
each side. If the track runs to
the left, loosen the left lock-
nut and tighten the left
adjusting bolt. If the track
runs to the right, loosen the
right locknut and tighten the
right adjusting bolt.
4. After adjustments are com-
plete, tighten locknuts and
torque idler shaft bolts to 35 ft. lbs. (47.5 Nm).
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment.
