Traction Products nCarbide Skags THE PERFECT FIT 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 43. 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. Inspect skags and studs frequently. Worn studs or skags may reduce steering and braking control on hard-packed snow and ice. Replace worn studs and skags to maintain proper balance and vehicle control. WARNING Loss of control can result in serious personal injury or death. Proper balance of traction products on the skis and track must be maintained to obtain proper vehicle control on hard-packed snow or ice. See your dealer for assistance. 43
