! WARNING
DO NOT stand behind the snowmo-
bile or near the rotating track. NEVER
run the track at high speed when the
track is suspended.
3. Start the engine and accelerate
slightly. Use only enough throttle to
turn the track several revolutions.
SHUT ENGINE OFF.
NOTE: Allow the track to coast to a
stop. DO NOT apply the brake
because it could produce an inaccu-
rate alignment condition.
4. When the track stops rotating, check
the relationship of the rear idler
wheels and the inner track drive lugs.
If the rear idler wheels are centered
between the inner track drive lugs, no
adjustment is necessary.
5. If the idler wheels are not centered
between the inner track drive lugs,
an adjustment is necessary.
Adjusting Track Alignment
1. On the side of the track which has the
inner track drive lugs closer to the rear
idler wheel, loosen the idler wheel
axle cap screw; then rotate the adjust-
ing bolt clockwise 1 to 1 1/2 turns.
2. Check track alignment and continue
adjustment until proper alignment is
obtained.
NOTE: Make sure correct track
tension is maintained after adjust-
ing track alignment.
3. After proper track adjustments are
obtained and the adjusting bolts are
snug against the axle housings,
tighten the idler wheel axle cap
screws to 4.7 kg-m (34 ft-lb).
Always make sure the adjusting bolts
are snug against the axle and the
idler wheel cap screws are tightened
to specifications. Failure to do so
could cause the track to become
extremely loose and, under some
operating conditions, allow the idler
wheels to climb over the track lugs
forcing the track against the tunnel
causing the track to "lock." If a track
"locks" during operation, severe per-
sonal injury could result.
4. Field test the track under actual con-
ditions.
5. After the field test, check the align-
ment of the track. If additional adjust-
ment is necessary, repeat Adjusting
Track Alignment procedure.
Suspension
The suspension should be adjusted for
0745-809
the operational needs and riding prefer-
ence of the operator.
The front shock springs or shock air pres-
sure determines the amount of ski pres-
sure and the reaction of the front
suspension to rough terrain. The amount
of ski pressure can also be changed by
adjusting the length of the skid frame
front arm limiter straps.
