Studs
Track studding will enhance braking control on hard-packed snow or
ice, but extreme caution is still required on such surfaces. Steering
ability may be reduced on hard-packed snow or ice.
When studded tracks are used, increased wear to the brake pads will
result from increased braking and requires increased brake inspection
intervals.
Installing studs can also cause the track to stretch more than a non-
studded track. For this reason, POLARIS recommends inspecting track
tension more often and setting the tension at the preferred measurement.
Always adhere to the manufacturer’s stud maintenance procedures and
stud nut torque specifications.
NOTICE: Aggressive studding patterns may require grinding protruding stud
bolts flush to prevent idler wheel damage. Maintain track tension on
studded tracks on the tight side of the specification to prevent heat
exchanger damage. The center of the stud must be at least 1 1/8 inch
(2.9 cm) from the outside edge of the track.
Before equipping your snowmobile with traction products, be aware of
regulations pertaining to the use of traction products in your area of
operation.
