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
(Rebuildable Gas)
Each shock absorber should be visibly
checked weekly for fluid leakage, cracks or
breaks in the body/reservoir, or a bent shaft.
If any one of these conditions is detected,
replacement or service is necessary. 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.
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.
NOTE: The frequency of servicing
rebuildable shock absorbers will
vary according to the types of condi-
tions and terrain the snowmobile has
been subjected to. If riding quality
deteriorates (or seems to be deterio-
rating), take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for shock absorber evaluation
and/or servicing. This service is at
the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
Kits are available to either stiffen or
soften gas shock valving.
Standard Track (ZR/XF)
Accelerated wear strip and track clip
wear caused by operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions is NOT covered
under Arctic Cat Inc. warranty policy.
NOTE: If regularly operating on ice
or hard-packed snow conditions,
Performance Wear Strips (p/n 6639-
448) may be installed at the expense
of the snowmobile owner.
Paddle Track (M/XF)
These models are equipped with a Power
Claw style track which is specially
designed for use in powder snow riding
conditions. When the Power Claw track is
operated in hard-packed snow conditions,
it will run slightly slower than a standard
track and it will accelerate wear strip wear.
To decrease the amount of wear strip wear,
slower speeds must be maintained when
operating on hard-packed trails. Acceler-
ated wear strip wear caused by operating a
Power Claw track on hard-packed snow
conditions is NOT covered under Arctic
Cat Inc. warranty policy.
NOTE: If operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions, it is recom-
mended that Ice Scratchers (p/n 5639-
897) be installed to reduce wear strip
wear and engine overheating.
Track Studs
NOTE: Stud or hooker plate installa-
tion will void track and tunnel warranty.
NOTE: Arctic Cat does not recom-
mend studding a track with greater
than a 1.6 inch lug.
NOTE: Stud installation can be per-
formed by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does
not feel qualified, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
For proper installation, use the following
procedure:
! WARNING
When installing studs on a single-ply
track, it is important to use Arctic
Cat-approved studs (proper head
diameter). If approved studs (proper
head diameter) are not used, studs
could tear free of the track causing
possible injury or even death. Con-
sult an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for information.
CAUTION
To prevent tunnel damage from the
studs, install Tunnel Protector Kit (p/
n 6639-075) for the ZR, (p/n 6639-118)
for the XF, or (p/n 6639-207) for HCR.
