TRACK TENSION/TRACK
ALIGNMENT
Track tension has been initially adjusted at the factory
for "run-up testing"; however, track tension (and track
alignment) must be adjusted at the dealership accord-
ing to the following recommendations.
To adjust track tension/track alignment, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Elevate the snowmobile on a shielded safety stand
high enough to use a spring scale.
The tips of the skis must be positioned against a wall
or similar object for safety.
2. At mid-point of the track (on the bottom side),
hook a spring scale around a track clip; then pull
down on the scale to 9 kg (20 lb). Measure the
deflection (distance) between the bottom of the
wear strip and the inside surface of the track clip.
Compare the measurement with the chart.
