Drive Clutch and Driven
Clutch
The drive clutch and driven clutch do not
require lubrication; therefore, no special
maintenance is required by the snowmo-
bile owner except for periodical cleaning.
However, the drive clutch and driven
clutch 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
snowmobiling 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 clutch. See an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for further information.
Drive Clutch/Driven
Clutch Alignment
The alignment between the drive clutch and
driven clutch is set at the factory. Normally,
no adjustment is necessary as long as neither
the drive clutch nor the driven clutch is
removed or disassembled. However, if pre-
mature drive belt wear is experienced or if
the drive belt turns over, the drive clutch/
driven clutch 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 discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
CAUTION
Failure to disconnect electronic
accessories during jump-starting
may cause system damage due to
power spikes.
! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a
battery as a spark could ignite hydro-
gen gases causing an explosion of
the battery resulting in acid burns or
blindness.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to service the drive
clutch and driven clutch. The drive
clutch and driven clutch must be ser-
viced by an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer only.
