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.
NOTE: Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or
chipping is found.
