Track Inspection

Check track condition at the intervals outlined in the periodic mainte-
nance chart beginning on page 50.
Inspecting the track while the engine
is running can result in serious per-
sonal injury if the track should being
to move. Never inspect the track with
the engine running. Never hold the
snowmobile up or stand behind it
while rotating the track. A loose track
or flying debris could cause serious
personal injury or death.
1. Support the rear of the
snowmobile slightly off the
ground with an appropriate
snowmobile support.
2. Rotate the track by hand to
check for wear or damage.
3. Carefully examine the
track along the entire
length of each track rod,
bending the track and
inspecting for breakage.
NOTE:
The three most common
places where breakage
occurs are shown in the
illustration.
4. Check the track clips and
tighten any loose clips. If
any rod damage is found, install a new track.
NOTE:
This snowmobile track has molded-in track clips. It is common for a
thin layer of rubber to detach from the clip area and peel off during ini-
tial use.
