22 Grease, 1cc 1
23 Vibratite, 1cc 1
Assembly:
1. Cut the Vibrati te packet (23) and empty into a disposable container. Paint the last five threads of all the bolts in
the kit (11, 12, and 13), including the axles (2). Wait ten minutes for the Vibratite to dry before proceeding with
screws.
2. Remove the arms from the T-handles, which have been installed in the storage position for shipping. Use a flat
blade screwdriver to spread the arm clamp apart if necessary to ease removal.
3. Determine which type of ski you are
using to determine the finger covers
you will use. Most snowmobile skis are
flat on the bottom, or have one or two
raised runners on the ski undersides to
help grip. The image to the right shows
the skis from the rear.
3a. For skis that are flat or have even runners, assemble the short
finger covers (16 and 17 - be sure to use the left cover on the left
arm, and right on right). Tap the rubber on a hard surface to ensure it
is fully seated. Secure with a self-tapping screw (20).
3b. For skis with uneven keels or carbides (i.e. SkiDoo Pilot skis and
others), use a finger extender (18 and 19) on the short side of the ski,
and a finger cover (16 or 17) on the long keel/carbide si de. Tap the
rubber on a hard surface to ensure it is fully seated. Secure with selftapping screws (20). The finger extenders’ height can be cut to
match your skis. Use the horizontal lines on the extenders as a guide.
This will make your Sled Wheels left or right handed, so be sure to
use them on the correct ski, or your skis will not sit flat.

4. Apply one fourth of the
grease (22) to each axle (2)
and assemble a wheel (1),
½” washer (3), arm (6 and
7), and hex nut (4).
Tighten the axle until snug,
then tighten the axle 1/4 1/2 turn more with a T-55
Torx wrench. Repeat for
each of the three remaining
wheels.
5. Slide the assembled arms
onto the splined T-Handle
(10) and adjust the arms
approximately ½” wider
than the ski. It may be
useful to spread the arm
clamp with a flat blade
screwdriver. Some sleds
have spindle bolts that stick
beyond the edge of the ski,
for these sleds adjust the
arms wider to avoid the
bolt (or cut the excess bolt off). The arm angle can be adjusted 15° to accommodate tall or short ski loops. Most
sleds work best at 15°. Use two ¼-20 x 1.0” (13), two ¼” washers (15), and two ¼ square nuts (14) to secure the
arms in place using the supplied 5/32” hex wrench (8). Do not overtighten. Make sure both arms are installed at
the same angle.
