However, the drive clutch and driven pul-
ley should be disassembled, cleaned, and
inspected by an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer after every 800 miles
of operation or at the end of the snowmo-
biling season whichever occurs first. This
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
When operating the snowmobile at high
altitudes, it may be necessary to change
certain component parts of the drive
clutch and/or the driven pulley. See an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for further information.
Drive Clutch/Driven
Pulley Alignment
The parallelism and the offset between
the drive clutch and driven pulley are set
at the factory. Normally, no adjustment is
necessary as long as neither the drive
clutch nor the driven pulley is removed
or disassembled. However, if premature
drive belt wear is experienced or if the
drive belt turns over, the drive clutch/
driven pulley alignment must be
checked. Take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for this service. If not under warranty,
this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is designed to provide
adequate amount of gas to the injectors
at
all throttle settings. If a fuel delivery
problem is suspected, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
Shock Absorbers
Standard Gas
Each shock absorber should be visibly
checked weekly for fluid leakage, cracks
or breaks in the lower case, or a bent
plunger. If any one of these conditions is
detected, replacement is necessary. Take
the snowmobile to an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer for this service.
If not under warranty, this service is at
the discretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
NOTE: When the snowmobile is
operated in extremely cold weather
(-23° C/-10° F or colder), a small
amount of leakage may be present.
Unless the leakage is excessive,
replacement is not necessary.
Rebuildable Gas
NOTE: The presence of a FOX
identifier (decal or embossed) on a
shock absorber body indicates a
“rebuildable” shock absorber.
NOTE: The frequency of servicing
rebuildable shock absorbers will vary
according to the types of conditions
and terrain the snowmobile has been
subjected to. If riding quality deterio-
rates (or seems to be deteriorating),
take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
shock absorber evaluation and/or ser-
vicing. This service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
Servicing rebuildable shock absorbers is
considered normal maintenance and is
the responsibility of the owner. Take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner. Kits are available
to either stiffen or soften gas shock valv-
ing. If changes in shock valving are
desired, see an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer. This service is at the
discretion and expense of the snowmo-
bile owner.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to service the drive
clutch and driven pulley. The drive
clutch and driven pulley must be
serviced by an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer only.
