Track Alignment
NOTE: Track alignment affects track tension.
Misalignment of the track will cause excessive wear to
the track, rail slides, and rail.
Excessive rail slide wear occurs due to running in
inadequate snow conditions.
Periodically check that the track is centered and running
ev
enly on the rails. Misalignment will cause excessive
wear to the track and slide rails.
1. Safely lift and support the r
ear of the snowmobile off
the ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to check for any possible
da
mage.
3. Inspect the track rods (A) carefully and examine the
tra
ck along the entire length of each rod, bending the
track edge and inspecting it for breakage. If any rod
damage is found, the track should be replaced.
4. Warm up the track by starting the engine and apply a
small
amount of throttle so the track runs slowly at
least five complete revolutions.
5. Stop the engine and turn the ignition off.
6. Inspect track alignment by carefully looking through
the
track window (B) to make sure the rails (C) are
evenly spaced on each side.
7. If the track runs to the left, loosen the left locknut and
tigh
ten the left adjusting bolt. If the track runs to the
right, loosen the right locknut and tighten the right
adjusting bolt. It may be necessary to check this with
the engine rotating the track. Be sure to SHUT THE
MACHINE OFF before making any further
adjustments.
8. Loosen up the rear idler shaft.
9. After any adjustments are com
plete, be sure to torque
the locknuts to specification.
10. Torque both idler shaft bolts to specification.
Suspension Pivots/Lubrication
Inspect suspension pivot bushings as outlined in the
periodic maintenance table. Replace worn or damaged
bushings.

Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off
the machine. Never operate or rotate a damaged track
under power with broken rod(s). Serious injury or death
may occur.
Stay clear of all moving parts to avoid personal injury.
Never make any adjustments with the engine running,
as serious personal injury can result.
