Ski Skags
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 con-
trol while turning on hard-packed snow or ice.
WARNING! Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of
vehicle control may result, causing serious injury or death.
Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensure positive steer-
ing characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their orig-
inal diameter.
Tip: Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chipping is found.
Skag Replacement
1. Raise and support the front of
the machine 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 rear end of the
skag.
4. Remove the front end of the
skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a
skag.
