RAIL SLIDES
RAILSLIDE REPLACEMENT
The 120 uses XTRA Lite style rail slide. When any area of the
rail slide is worn to 7/16"(1.1 cm), it should be replaced. This
will save wear on other vital components.
The rail slide is designed to operate in conditions with adequate
snow cover to provide sufficient lubrication. Excessive wear
may be due to improper alignment, improper track adjustment
or machine operation on surfaces without snow.
New rail sliders are best used in deep snow conditions. Marginal
snow or hard-pack conditions are better suited to worn rail
sliders, or rail sliders which have been cured or broken in.
RAIL SLIDE REMOVAL
1. Remove suspension from machine.
2. Remove front rail slider retaining bolt (1).
3. Use a block of wood or a drift punch and hammer to drive
rail slider (2) rearward off the slide rail.
4. With the rail slider at room temperature, install new rail
slider by reversing steps 1 - 3.
NOTE: Lightly coat rail slider track clip area with a
lubricant such as
installation.
