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 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 snowmo-
bile so the skis are
approximately 6
inches (15 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.
