MAINTENANCE n 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 left locknut and tighten the left adjusting bolt. If the track runs to the right, loosen right locknut and tighten the right adjusting bolt. 4.

Have your dealer replace the slide when it's worn down to the top of the wear groove (+). Do not operate the snowmobile if slide thickness measures less than 7/16″ (1.1 cm). 7/16″ (1.1 cm) + 124
