POLARIS offers a wide range of accessories for your snowmobile to help make

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.

THE PERFECT FIT

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 97.

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
and studs and length of carbide on the skags (the more studs you use, the
longer the carbide on the skags should be). See you dealer’s track studding
chart.
