Studs
Track damage resulting from improperly installed or maintained studs is not covered under warranty. Use only Polaris-approved traction products on your snowmobile. See your dealer for more information about installing studs and/or carbides.
Failure to heed the following recommendations will result in tunnel or track damage:
-
Use of studs longer than the recommended length on snowmobiles equipped with center coolers will result in center cooler damage or damage to the tunnel.
-
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 specification to prevent heat exchanger damage. The center of the stud must be at least 1 1/8 inch (2.9 cm) from any edge of the track, including track window.
-
Studding the outside band of the track diminishes durability.
-
Polaris does not recommend studs down the center line of the track to prevent shock damage.
-
Polaris does not recommend studs on the outside band of the Storm 150 track. Damage will occur.
The AXYS Indy 129 chassis requires stud protection kit 2883572 to be installed before installing studs or chassis damage will occur. This stud protection kit will protect against chassis damage with the following track/stud combinations.
