WARNING: Do not operate a
snowmobile with a cut, torn, or
damage track.
The suspension is adjustable, the front
adjustment for surface condition, the
rear for driver's weight.
When the front adjuster blocks are at
the lowest elevation more weight is
distributed on skis. At the highest posi-
tion the weight is transferred from the
skis to the track. The rear adjuster
blocks should be adjusted to suit the
driver's preference.
Adjuster
_
CAUTION: Always turn left side
... adjuster blocks in a clockwise di-
rection, the right side blocks in a coun-
ter-clockwise direction. Left and right
adjuster blocks of each adjustment
must always be set at the same
elevation.
Lift rear of vehicle and support with a
mechanical stand. Allow slide to ex-
tend normally. A gap of 19 mm
(%")
should exist between slider shoe and
bottom inside of track. If track tension
is too loose, the track will have-a ten-
dency to thump.
_
CAUTION: Too much tension will
... result in power loss and excessive
stresses on suspension components.
If necessary to adjust, loosen or tighten
adjuster bolts located on inner side of
rear idler wheels. If correct tension is
unobtainable, contact your dealer.
O
NOTE: Track tension and alien-
ment are inter-related. Do not ad-
just one without the other.
Start the engine and accelerate slightly
so that track turns slowly. Check that
track is well centered and turns evenly.
To correct, stop engine then loosen the
lock nuts and tighten the adjuster bolt
on side where track is closest to the
frame. Tighten lock nuts and recheck
alignment.

WARNING:
Before checking
track alignment, ensure that the
track is free of all particles which could
be thrown out while track is rotating.
Keep hands, tools, feet and clothing
clear of track.
