STOPPER STRAP
The function of the suspension stopper
strap
is to control the transfer of vehicle
weight
during acceleration. The longer
the
belt, the more the weight will be trans-
ferred to the track to provide a better trac-
tion. The shorter the
belt, the lesser the
weight transferred to the track, thus main-
taining a more positive direction. Adjust-
ing
holes on the stopper strap allow to
adjust it according to drivers' require-
ments, field and or snow conditions.
For normal use, insert bolt through strap
holes
as shown:
Torque to 10 N•m (89 lbf•inl
•
WARNING: Always torque the nut
to 10 N•m (891bf•in).
Track Condition
Lift the rear of the vehicle and support
it
off the ground. With the engine OFF,
rotate the track by hand, and inspect con-
dition. If worn or cut, or if track fibers
are
exposed, or if missing or defective inserts
or guides are noted; contact the dealer .
•
WARNING: Do not operate a snow-
mobile
with a cut, torn or dam-
aged track.
Track Tension and Alignment
Tension
Lift the rear of vehicle and support with
a mechanical stand. Allow the slide to
extend normally. The gap should
be 13
mm (112") between the slider shoe and
the bottom inside of the track. If the track
tension
is too loose, the track will have
a tendency to thump.

T result in power loss and excessive
stresses
on suspension components.
If necessary to adjust; loosen the rear
idler wheel retaining screw and the ad-
juster bolt lock nut; then loosen or tight-
en the adjuster bolts located on the inner
side of the rear idler wheels. If correct ten-
sion
