MAINTENANCE
Steering System
n Ski Skags
Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensure positive steer-
ing characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their orig-
inal diameter.
NOTE: Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnormal wear or chipping is
found.
Skag Replacement
NOTE: Some models are equipped with single skags. Other models are
equipped with dual skags.
1. Raise and support the front of
the snowmobile so the skis are
approximately 6" (15 cm) from
the ground.
2. Remove the attaching nuts and
pry the skag downward.
3. Remove the front end of the
skag.
4. Remove the rear end of the
skag.
5. Reverse the steps to install a
skag.
WARNING
Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of vehicle control
may result, causing serious injury or death.
See your dealer's studding chart for recommended skags. If you install longer
or more aggressive carbide skags than the original equipment, it may also be
necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle control while turning
on hard-packed snow or ice.
