Track and Suspension
Under normal conditions
moderate track tension should
be maintained during summer
storage. The rear of the
machine should be supported
off the ground to allow free
hanging of the track.
Track Tension
Track adjustment is critical for
proper handling. Always
maintain correct tension and
alignment.
Tension adjustments should be
made only after the t rack is
warmed up and limber.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Lift the rear of the machine
and safely support it off the
ground.

inches from the center of the
rear idler wheel. The deflection at this point with this amount of
weight should measure 3/4″ between the bottom of hi-fax and the

4. Check for specified slack between the wear surface of the track clip
and the plastic hi-fax (C).
Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track, which must be
