Drive Train/Track/Brake
Systems
This section has been organized into sub-sections for ser-
vicing drive train, track, and brake systems; however,
some components may vary from model to model. The
technician should use discretion and sound judgment
when removing and installing components.

NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively, cracked,
or damaged in any way, replacement is necessary.
SPECIAL TOOLS
A number of special tools must be available to the technician
when servicing the drive train, track, and brake systems.

NOTE: Special tools are available from the Arctic
Cat Service Parts Department.
Drive Belt
If the drive belt is longer than specified, the drive clutch
and driven clutch will not achieve full shift ratio. This will
result in poor acceleration and a decrease in top speed.
If the drive belt is shorter than specified, the starting ratio
will be higher causing the belt to slip. A too-short drive
belt will cause a bog on engagement and will not allow
the engine to reach peak RPM.

NOTE: A thinly-worn drive belt may produce the
same effect as one that is too long.

NOTE: A stiff belt causes a HP loss to the track. As
a belt warms up, it gets more flexible and transmits
power with less HP loss.

NOTE: When installing a new drive belt, see After
Break-In Checkup - Drive Belt Break-In in the General
Information section.
REMOVING
1. With the engine off, remove the left-side access
panel. Loosen the 1/4 turn on the lower console.
2. Remove the cap screw, washers and sheave adjuster
from the end of the driven clutch; then remove the
cap screw, lock washer, and washer from the
adjuster.

NOTE: Assure that the shims and O-ring are not
removed from the adjuster.
0743-395
3. Reverse the adjuster and install the cap screw with-
out washers into the adjuster. Install the sheave
adjuster and cap screw onto the driven clutch; then
tighten the cap screw until the movable sheave opens
far enough to allow the belt to be removed.
4. Remove the drive belt from the driven clutch first;
then from the drive clutch.
INSTALLING
1. Place the drive belt (so the arrow is pointing toward
the front of the snowmobile) in the drive clutch; then
between the sheaves of the driven clutch.
2. Install the sheave adjuster in its original position
(beveled side out); then install the cap screw, lock
washer, and washer into the driven clutch. Tighten
the cap screw (threads coated with blue Loctite
#243) to 20 ft-lb.
3. Secure the left-side console and access panel.

CHANGING CAM ARMS/SPRINGS
Removing

to the threads of the puller and a small amount of
grease to the tip of the puller.
