TRACTION PRODUCTS
CARBIDE SKAGS
A skag is a replaceable bar attached to the underside of the ski to assist in
turning the snowmobile and to prevent ski wear caused by contact with roads
and other bare terrain. Use carbide skags with studded tracks to help maintain
proper vehicle steering and control. See page 98.
If your snowmobile has carbide skags, it may be necessary to add track studs to
maintain proper vehicle control. Maintain a proper balance between the number
of studs and the length of carbide on the skags (the more studs you use, the
longer the carbide on the skags should be). See your dealer’s track studding
chart.
Inspect skags frequently. Worn skags may reduce steering and braking control
on hard-packed snow and ice. Replace worn skags to maintain proper balance
and vehicle control.
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.
WEAR STRIPS
To avoid excessive tunnel wear, tunnel wear strips must be installed whenever
track studding is used.
Install the appropriate wear strip kit. See your dealer.
Wear strips are designed for a specific stud length. See your dealer’s studding
chart for recommended traction accessories.
NOTICE
Whenever wear strips are relocated, be sure there’s adequate stud clearance
to the tunnel. Lack of clearance may result in damage to tunnel.
