INSTALLATION OF STUDS
1. Stud size
2. Penetration range 6.4 to 9.5 mm (1/4 to 3/8 in)
3. Track lug height
4. Track belt thickness
– Studs should only be installed in the locations indicated by
molded bulges in the track surface.
– Never stud a track with a profile of 35 mm (1.375 in) or
more.
– The number of studs installed must always perfectly match
the pattern of molded bulges in the track.
– Always consult the traction product manufacturer's instal-
lation instructions and recommendations before having
your dealer install studs and runners. It is very important
to follow the torque specifications for the stud bolts.
INSTALLING AN INCORRECT NUMBER OF STUDS OR AN IM-
PROPER INSTALLATION CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF THE
TRACK TEARING OR SEVERING, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SE-
RIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Maintenance/Replacement
PROCEED WITH A VISUAL INSPECTION OF YOUR TRACK BEFORE
EACH USE.
Look for any defects, such as:
– perforations in the track
– tears in the track (particularly around traction holes on studded
tracks)
– lugs that are broken or torn off, exposing portions of rods
– delamination of the rubber
– broken rods
– broken studs (studded tracks)
