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 periodic cleaning.
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.
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.
Track
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-
448/864) may be installed at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
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 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:
1. On LT models, use stud template
(p/n 8639-234) and mark the
desired stud pattern to be used. On
ZR models, use stud template (p/n
8639-421) and mark the desired
stud pattern to be used.
2. Using the proper-sized stud hole
drill bit, drill out the stud holes.
! WARNING
If you become aware of higher than
normal clutch engagement or
unusual shift patterns, see your
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer immediately. Do not operate
the snowmobile until the clutches
have been serviced and/or repaired.
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.
! 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.
