Traction Products

Studs

Before equipping your machine with traction products, be aware of the
laws in your area pertaining to the use of traction products.

Use only POLARIS traction products on your snowmobile. Track
warranties are void if track damage or failure results from improper or
excessive stud installation or the use of non-POLARIS traction
products.

See your dealer about installing studs and/or carbides.

NOTICE: Use of studs longer than the recommended length on machines

equipped with center coolers will result in center cooler damage or
damage to the tunnel.

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. Extended-wear brake pad kits are
available. See your dealer.

NOTICE: Studding the outer edges of the track will cause cooling system

damage. Install studs only in center belt of track. Stud point cannot
protrude more than 0.375 in. (0.95 cm) above the lug tip when
installed.

Carbide Skags

A skag is a replaceable bar attached to the underside of the ski to assist
in turning the snowmobile and to prevent ski wear caused by contact
with roads and other bare terrain. Use carbide skags with studded tracks
to help maintain proper vehicle steering and control. See page 91.

If your machine has carbide skags, it may be necessary to add track
studs to maintain proper vehicle control. Maintain a proper balance
between the number of studs and the length of carbide on the skags (the
more studs you use, the longer the carbide on the skags should be). See
your dealer's track studding chart.
