Track Maintenance
Track Alignment
Periodically check that the track is centered and running evenly on the
slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide
rail.
1. Safely support the rear of the snowmobile with the track off the
ground.
2. Start the engine and apply a small amount of throttle until the track
turns slowly at least five complete revolutions. Stop the engine and
let the track come to a stop (do not apply brakes).
3. Inspect track alignment by
looking through the track
window to make sure the
rails are evenly spaced on
each side. If the track runs
to the left, loosen the idler
shaft bolts, then loosen the
left locknut and tighten the
left adjusting bolt. If the
track runs to the right,
loosen the idler shaft bolts,
then loosen the right
locknut and tighten the
right adjusting bolt.
4. After adjustments are
complete, tighten the
locknuts and torque idler
shaft bolts to 35 ft. lbs.
(47.5 Nm).
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment.
