Track Alignment

Check track alignment at the intervals outlined in the periodic maintenance chart beginning on Periodic Maintenance Chart. Make sure the track is centered and running evenly on the slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide rail.
WARNING
When performing the following checks and adjustments, stay clear of all moving parts to avoid serious personal injury. Make sure the track contains no objects that could be thrown out while the track is rotating. Keep clear of track. This includes but is not limited to hands, tools, feet and clothing. Make sure no one is standing close to the machine while the track is rotating.
  1. Support the rear of the snowmobile slightly off the ground with an appropriate snowmobile support.
  2. Start the engine and apply a small amount of throttle until the track turns slowly at least five complete revolutions. Stop the engine.
  3. Inspect track alignment by looking through the track windows to make sure the rails are evenly spaced on each side. If the track runs to the left, loosen the left idler wheel mounting bolt and tighten the left track adjusting bolt. If the track runs to the right, loosen the right idler wheel mounting bolt and tighten the right track adjusting bolt.
