Skag Replacement - Polaris 120 PRO R 2013 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
Ski Skags
The skag is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of
the ski. The purpose of the
skag is to assist in turning the
snowmobile and to prevent
the wearing away of the ski
caused by contact with roads
and other bare terrain.
Check skags weekly to maintain positive steering characteristics.
Replace skags when they are worn to half their original diameter.
TIP: See the dealer track studding and skag chart for recommended skags.
Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling and can cause loss of
vehicle control, which can lead to serious injury or death. Replace worn skis
and/or skags when inspection reveals wear.
