TRACK STUDS

NOTE: Stud or hooker plate
installation will void track and
tunnel warranty.
NOTE: Stud installation can be
performed by the snowmobile
owner if qualified to do so. If the
owner does not feel qualified,
take the snowmobile to an autho-
riz ed Arctic C at Snowmobile
dealer for this service. This ser-
v i ce is a t t h e d i s c r e t i o n a n d
e x p e n s e o f t h e s n o w m o b i l e
owner.
For proper installation, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Using Stud Template (p/n 2639-
903), mark the desired stud pat-
tern to be used.
2. Using the proper-sized stud
hole drill bit, drill out the stud
holes.
3. Push the stud through the hole
from inside the track; then place
the domed support plate and
lock nut on the exposed stud.
4. Using a wrench to secure the
stud, tighten the lock nut on the
exposed stud.

It is recommended that whenever
studs are installed on a track, carbide
wear bars should be installed on the
skis. Carbide wear bars complement
the track studs to balance steering
control under these conditions. The
length of the carbide on the wear
bars should be proportionate to the
number of track studs (i.e. small
number of track studs — short
length of carbide...many track studs
— long length of carbide). The
proper proportion between the num-
ber of studs and carbide length on
the wear bar will maintain steering
balance.
! WARNING
Always balance the snowmo-
bile with the proper proportion
between the number of studs
and carbide length on the wear
bars. Do not "over drive" condi-
tions; use common sense in all
operating conditions.
! CAUTION
Do not use studs that are more
than 9.525 mm (0.375 in.) longer
than the track lug height.
! WARNING
Do not operate a snowmobile
with loose studs as they may be
thrown from the track. Always
use a shielded safety stand
whenever performing any main-
tenance or adjustments.
! WARNING
DO NOT stand behind the snow-
mobile or near the rotating track.
NEVER run the track at high speed
when the track is suspended.
