Belt Adjustment
IMPORT ANT: The traction belt
must
be checked
regularly for proper alignment
and
tension. When
necessary
to adjust the belt,
first
perform the
Traction
Belt Alignment described below
and
then
complete the Traction
Belt
Tension Adjustment
procedures.
Traction Belt Alignment
•
Set the snowmobile on the kickstand on
a
level
surface.
•
Stand to rear of
sled
and visually check the
space between the frame tunnel and the
edges
of
the traction belt.
On a properly aligned track,
this space should be the
same.
•
If
the track is not centered, loosen the two lock-
nuts
(1,
figure
16)
on that
side
where the edge of the
track is closest to the inside
edge of
the tunnel.
Tighten the adjusting screw (3) until track is
centered. Then tighten the locknuts (1).
•
Take the sled on a short run and then recheck
traction belt alignment.
•
After track alignment is complete, check trac-
tion belt tension as described in the follOwing para-
graph.

proper alignment before performing the traction
belt
tension adjustment procedures.

• Set the
snowmobile
on
a clean, flat
surface.
NOTE: A properly tensioned
track should have
a
1 to 1-1/4-inch sag at
the
approxi
mate top center
of the track.
This can be
determined as follows:
•
Rest a straight bar (figure
17)
of sufficient length
along the top surface and near
the edge
of
the track.
Insert the
straight
bar through
the back
end of the
snowmobile
and check for
proper 1 to 1-1/ 4-inch
sag. Repeat procedure
on opposi te
side
and note the
difference, if any, in the
track
tension.
• If
adjustment
is
necessary,
loosen the two
lock-
nuts
(1, figure 16)
on each side
of the sled just
sufficiently to
allow movement
of the belt-adjusting
angle
(2).
