GENERAL INFORMATION
2. If the throttle lever is compressed
before complete reverse engage-
ment, the engine may shut down.
Always wait for the reverse icon to
illuminate and the reverse alarm to
sound before backing up.
3. If reverse is used for longer than
five minutes continuously, the
engine will shut down.
NOTE:
While
operating
in
reverse, a “rev-limiter” will activate
at 6000 RPM.
4. After shifting from reverse to for-
ward (or from forward to reverse),
apply the throttle slowly and
evenly to allow the driven pulley
to engage properly.
5. The reverse function is cancelled
whenever the engine is shut off.
REMOVABLE SEAT
(Crossfire 600/800 cc
STD Models)
These snowmobiles are equipped with
a removable seat. To remove the seat,
use the following procedure:
1. Inside the rear storage compart-
ment on the bottom of the seat-
base, rotate the latch cover away
from the right-side locking pin.
2. Lift on the back of the seat and
move it rearward to remove it
from the tunnel.
To install the seat, use the following
procedure:
1. Slide the front of the seat into
position on the tunnel; then lower
the rear of the seat onto the lock-
ing pins.
2. Press down on the rear of the seat
until the retaining clips snap into
place on the locking pins; then rotate
the latch cover until it snaps into
place on the right-side locking pin.
TOWING
If the snowmobile is to be towed by
another snowmobile, do not tow using
the loops in the skis. The tow rope
should be attached to the spindles.
ARCTIC POWER VALVE
(APV) SYSTEM
This
RPM
controlled
servomotor
(servo) actuated system adjusts the size
of the exhaust ports to provide peak per-
formance throughout the RPM range.
! WARNING
Do not use high speed when back-
ing up. Control could be lost and
injury could occur.
CAUTION
Do not use high speed when back-
ing up. Damage to the drive belt
and driven pulley components may
occur.
CAUTION
After reversing in deep powder
snow conditions, make sure the
snowflap
does
not
become
“caught up” in the track. Track
and/or
snowflap
damage
may
occur.
! WARNING
Make sure the seat is securely
locked in place or personal injury
may result.
CAUTION
The correct engine oil to use is
Arctic Cat Synthetic APV 2-Cycle
Oil (p/n 4639-348). Any substitute
may cause an APV malfunction.
