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 nuts
and pry the skag downward.
3 Remove the forward portion
of the skag.
Reverse this procedure for new
skag installation.
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.
