– Check track alignment as described
below.
Alignment
WARNING
Before checking track alignment,
ensure that the track is free of all
particles which could be thrown
out while track is rotating. Use a
wide-based snowmobile mechani-
cal stand equipped with a protec-
tor back panel. Keep hands, tools,
feet and clothing clear of track. En-
sure no one is standing in close
proximity to the snowmobile, es-
pecially at the rear of the track.
Never rotate track at high speed.
Start the engine and accelerate slightly
so that track barely turns. This must
be done in a short period of time (15
to 20 seconds).
Check that the track is well centered;
equal distance on both sides between
edges of track guides and slider shoes.

Tighten lock nuts (some models only)
and retaining screws.
WARNING
If lock nuts are not tightened prop-
erly, the adjusting screws could
loosen causing the track to be-
come extremely loose and, under
some operating conditions, allow
the idler wheels to climb over the
track lugs forcing the track against
the tunnel causing the track to
“lock”. Properly tighten wheel re-
taining screws, otherwise wheel
may come off and cause track to
“lock”.
