Do not modify track, including by the installation of traction
enhancing products. At speed it may cause the track to tear
and separate from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or
death. Do not operate or rotate a track if torn, damaged or
excessively worn (exposed fibers).
Track Tension and Alignment
NOTE: Track tension and alignment are inter-related. Do not adjust
one without the other.
Tension
NOTE: Ride the snowmobile in snow about 15 to 20 minutes prior to
adjusting track tension.
Remove the tether cord cap.
Lift rear of snowmobile and support it with a wide-base snowmobile
mechanical stand.
Allow the suspension to extend normally and check gap half-way
between front and rear idler wheels. Measure between slider shoe
bottom and inside of track. The gap should be as given in SPECIFI-
CATIONS at the end of this guide. If the track tension is too loose,
track will have a tendency to thump.
NOTE: A belt tension tester (P/N 414 348 200) may be used to mea-
sure deflection as well as force applied.
