Ski Skags
The skag (A) is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of
the ski. The purpose of the
skag is to assist in turning
the snowmobile and t o
prevent the wearing away of the
ski caused by contact with roads
and other bare terrain. We
recommend that skags be checked
once a week to maintain positive
steering characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half
their original diameter.
NOTE: See dealer track studding and skag chart for recommended
skags.
Skag Replacement
1. Raise and support the front of the m achine so the skis are
approximately 6″ (15.2 cm) from the ground.
2. Remove the attaching nuts and pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the forward portion of the skag.
Reverse this procedure for new skag installation.
NOTE: If the rear idler wheel
assembly (1) washers are removed,
be sure they are rei nstalled with the
domed side of the washer facing
out (2) as shown.
A
Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling and can
cause loss of vehicle control, which can lead to serious injury
or death. Replace worn skis and/or skags when inspection
reveals wear.
