Ski / Ski Skag Fasteners; Track Tension - Polaris IQ 2007 Service Manual

Ski / Ski Skag Fasteners

Periodically inspect the ski-to-spindle fasteners for proper
torque.
Ski-to-Spindle Fastener Torque
36 Ft.Lbs. (49 Nm)
Inspect ski skags and skag fasteners for abnormal wear and tear.
Replace skags when carbide edge is worn away.
Always use new Nylock nuts and secure hand tight.

Track Tension

Track tension is critical for maintaining correct suspension
operation. If the track tension is too loose it may cause the track
to slip or "ratchet". If the track is too tight it will wear down the
rail slides, reduce top speeds, cause rear suspension vibration
and cause track and rear suspension durability problems.

1. Lift the rear of the machine and place a jack stand or secure
the rear of the machine so that the track is off of the

over. This will warm up the track for a correct
measurement.
3. Shut off the engine.
4. Place a 10 lb. (4.54kg) weight at point (A). Point (A) is 16"
(41cm) ahead of the rear idler shaft (E).
5. Measure the distance (D) between the rail slider and the
track. This measurement should fall with in the
measurement range for the appropriate vehicle, see chart o
this page.
6. If adjustment is needed, loosen up the lock nuts (B) on each
side.
7. Loosen up the idler shaft bolts (F).
8. Turn each adjuster bolt (C) clockwise to tighten track. Turn
the adjuster bolt counterclockwise to loosen track tension.
9. Torque the lock nuts (B) and idler shaft bolts on each side
to 35 ft-lb (48 N-m).
