Ski Skags

WARNING
Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of vehicle
control may result, causing serious injury or death.
See your dealer's studding chart for recommended skags. If you install
longer or more aggressive carbide skags than the original equipment, it
may also be necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle
control while turning on hard-packed snow or ice.
Check skags weekly to maintain positive steering characteristics. Skags
must be replaced when worn to half their original diameter.
NOTE: Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chipping is
found.

Skag Replacement

1. Raise and support the front of the
machine so the skis are
approximately 6" (15.2 cm) from
the ground.
2. Remove the attaching hardware
and pry the skag (A) downward.
3. Remove the forward portion of
the skag.
Reverse this procedure for new skag
installation.
