MAINTENANCE
Steering System
n Ski Skags
Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensure positive steer-
ing characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their orig-
inal diameter.
NOTE: Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chip-
ping is found.
Skag Replacement
1. Raise and support the front of the machine so the skis are approxi-
mately 6I (15.2 cm) from the ground.
2. Remove the attaching nuts and pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the rear end of the skag.
4. Remove the front end of the skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a skag.
WARNING
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.
