Rail Wear Strips - Yamaha SXV4NP Operator's Manual

Rail Wear Strips

Yamaha recommends that the wear strips
be checked weekly and replaced as nec-
essary. Measure the wear strips at 25.4
cm (10 in.) intervals. Wear strips must be
10.7 mm (0.42 in.) thick or thicker.
If wear strip measurements are less than
specified, replacement of both wear strips
is necessary to prevent premature track
clip wear and possible track damage.
Take the snowmobile to an authorized
Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this ser-
vice. This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered. Tem-
per the wear strips by driving the snow-
mobile for approximately a mile on a
hard pack trail; then immediately drive
into deep snow and allow the wear strips
to cool. Repeat the procedure (warming
up the wear strips; then cooling them
down) two or three times.

NOTE: The rail wear strips will

wear rapidly if the snowmobile is
operated on terrain on which the
snow cover is minimal. Loose snow
is required to cool and lubricate the
wear strips and prevent accelerated
wear.

NOTE: If operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions, it is recom-
mended
installed to reduce wear strip wear
and engine overheating.
