Adjusting Headlight
Aim
The headlight can be adjusted for verti-
cal aim of the HIGH/LOW beam. The
geometric center of HIGH beam zone
is to be used for vertical aiming.
1. Position the snowmobile on a level
floor so the headlight is approxi-
mately 8 m (25 ft) from an aiming
surface (wall or similar surface).
NOTE: There should be an “aver-
age” operating load on the snow-
mobile when adjusting headlight
aim.
2. Measure the distance from the
floor to midpoint of the headlight.
3. Using the measurement obtained
in step 2, make a horizontal mark
on the aiming surface.
4. Make a vertical mark which inter-
sects the horizontal mark on the
aiming surface directly in front of
the headlight.
5. Engage the brake lever lock and
start the engine. Move the head-
light dimmer switch to the HIGH
beam position. DO NOT USE
LOW BEAM.
6. Observe the headlight beam aim.
Proper aim is when the most
intense beam is centered on the
vertical mark 5 cm (2 in.) below
the horizontal mark on the aiming
surface.
740-153A
7. Adjust the headlight using the
adjustment knobs until correct aim
is obtained. Shut the engine off;
then disengage the brake lever
lock.
SKI WEAR BARS
The ski wear bar is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of the ski.
The purpose of the wear bar is to assist
in turning the snowmobile, to minimize
ski wear, and to maintain good steering
control. If the snowmobile is operated
primarily in deep snow, ski wear bar
wear will be minimal; however, if the
snowmobile is operated on terrain
where the snow cover is minimal, the
ski wear bar will wear faster. To main-
tain positive steering characteristics,
Arctic Cat recommends that the ski
wear bars be checked before each use
and replaced if worn beyond 1/2 of the
original diameter. Ski wear bars are
available from an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer.
Removing Ski Wear
Bars
NOTE: Determine which type of
wear bar is being replaced and
remove and install accordingly.
1. Remove ice and snow buildup
from the ski.
2. Using a suitable safety stand or
lift, elevate the front of the snow-
mobile.
3. Remove the lock nuts securing the
wear bar to the ski.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with
excessively worn ski wear bars
may result in a loss of steering
control.
