THE PERFECT FIT Studs Traction Products (SwitchBack only) 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. CAUTION Always install wear strips before installing studs. Failure to install wear strips may result in cooler or tunnel damage. See page 49. Never add shims to the wear strip. Track damage will result because of lack of clearance between upper carrier wheels and track. 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. CAUTION Aggressive studding patterns may require grinding protruding stud bolts flush to prevent idler wheel damage. Maintain track tension on studded tracks on the tight side of the spec to prevent heat exchanger damage. Center of stud must be at least 1 1/8″ (2.86 cm) from the outside edge of the track. 48

See your dealer about installing studs and/or carbides.
CAUTION
Always install wear strips before installing studs. Failure to install
