Track Condition
WARNING
Remove tether cord cap before performing any maintenance
or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehicle must be
parked in a safe place, away from the trail.
Remove tether cord cap.
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and support it with a wide-base snow-
mobile mechanicalstand with a rear deflector panel. With the engine
off, rotate the track by hand, and inspect condition. If worn or cut, or
if track fibers are exposed, or if missing or defective inserts or guides
are noted; contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
Studded Tracks
If the track of your snowmobile is studded, PROCEED WITH A VI-
SUAL INSPECTION OF YOUR TRACK BEFORE EACH USE.
Look for any defects, such as:
– perforations in the track
– tears in the track (particularly around traction holes)
– lugs that are broken or torn off, exposing portions of rods
– delamination of the rubber
– broken rods
– broken studs
– bent studs
– studs that are torn off the track
– missing track guide(s).
Replace broken or damaged studs immediately. If your track shows
signs of deterioration, it must be replaced immediately. When in
doubt, ask your dealer. Always follow the inspections schedule giv-
en in the periodic maintenance table.
WARNING
Riding with a damaged track or studs could lead to a loss of
control, resulting in a risk of serious injury or death.
For a complete information on studs, please refer to the section en-
titled TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS in the SAFETY INFOR-
MATION Section at the beginning of this Operator's Guide.
