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 comRails plete 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. After adjustments are complete, tighten locknuts and torque idler shaft bolts to 35 ft. lbs. (47.5 Nm). 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment. Rail Slide Wear For ease of inspection, all POLARIS rail slides have a wear limit indicator groove to indicate the minimum permissible slide thickness. Replace the rail slides if they are worn to the top of the groove at any point along their length. NOTICE: Failure to replace worn rail slides may result in permanent damage to the track or rails.
