Ski Skags
WARNING! Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of
vehicle control may result, causing serious injury or death. See your dealer's
studding chart for recommended skags. If you install longer or more aggressive
carbide skags than the original equipment, it may also be necessary to add track
studs to maintain proper vehicle control while turning on hard-packed snow or
ice.
Check skags before each use of
the snowmobile to ensure
positive steering characteristics.
Skags must be replaced when
worn to half their original
diameter.
TIP:Carbide skags must be
replaced if any abnormal wear
or chipping is found.
Ski Skag Replacement

the snowmobile so the skis are
approximately 6 inches (15.2
cm) from the ground.
2. Remove the attaching nuts and
pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the front end of the
skag.
4. Remove the rear end of the
skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a
skag. Tighten the nuts.
