Operation etc. If snow coverage is not sufficient, stay on trails to avoid impact damage to the drive track. Studded track In general, track life will be shortened when studs are installed. Drilling stud holes into the drive track will cut the internal fibers, which weakens the track. Avoid spinning the drive track.

around the already weakened area. To
mini-
mize possible damage, consult your stud
manufacturer for installation and stud pattern
recommendations.
