The right and left adjusting nuts should be
turned an equal amount.
6.
Recheck alignment and deflection. If nec-
essary, repeat steps 3 to 5 until the prop-
er adjustment is achieved.

Tighten the rear axle nut.
Slide runners
Check the slide runners for wear and dam-
age.
If the slide runners reach the wear limit, they
should be replaced.

High-profile pattern drive track
FX10MT / FX10MTR / FX10MTRA
This snowmobile is originally equipped with a
51-mm (2.0-in) high-profile pattern drive track
specifically for use in deep snow riding condi-
tions.
