Track And Suspension; Track Tension - Polaris 120 XC SP Owner's Manual

Maintenance
Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track, which must be
partially exposed for proper operation. Serious injuries may be
caused by the operator's hands, feet or clothing becoming
entangled in the track. Be alert. Always sit properly on the seat.

Track and Suspension

Under normal conditions
moderate track tension should
be maintained during summer
storage. The rear of the
machine should be supported
off the ground to allow free
hanging of the track.

Track Tension

Track adjustment is critical for
proper handling. Always
maintain correct tension and
alignment.
Tension adjustments should be
made only after the track is
warmed up and limber.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Lift the rear of the machine
and safely support it off the
ground.
3. Hang a 10 pound weight 8
inches from the center of the
rear idler wheel. The deflection at this point with this amount of
weight should measure 3/4" between the bottom of hi-fax and the
inside of the track.
NOTE: Measure at the point where the weight is hanging.
4. Check for specified slack between the wear surface of the track clip
and the plastic hi-fax (C).
