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 the

idler shaft bolts, then

loosen the left locknut and

tighten the left adjusting

bolt. If the track runs to the

right, loosen the idler shaft

bolts, then loosen the right

locknut and tighten the

right adjusting bolt.

4. After adjustments are com-

plete, tighten the locknuts

and torque idler shaft bolts

to 35 ft. lbs. (47.5 Nm).

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment.
