3. If the distance between the bottom of

the wear strip and the inside surface

of the track clip is less than specified,

loosen the adjusting bolts to increase

the slack in the track.

4. Check track alignment.
5. On ZR/LT models, after proper track

tension is obtained, tighten the idler

wheel axle cap screws to 34 ft-lb

(46.2 N-m); then tighten the adjust-

ing bolts securely against the axle.

6. On M models, after proper track ten-

sion is obtained, tighten the idler

wheel axle cap screws to 24 ft-lb

(32.6 N-m); then tighten the adjust-

ing bolt and jam nut securely against

the axle/rail.

NOTE: Since track tension and

track alignment are interrelated,

always check both even if only one

adjustment seems necessary.

Track Alignment

Proper track alignment is obtained when

the rear idler wheels are equal distance

from the inner track drive lugs. Excessive

wear to the idler wheels, drive lugs, and

track will occur if the track is improperly

aligned. Arctic Cat recommends that the

track alignment be checked once a week

or whenever the track tension is adjusted.

Checking Track Alignment

1. Remove excess ice and snow buildup

from the track, track drive sprockets,

and the inside of the skid frame.

2. Position the tips of the skis against a

wall; then using a shielded safety

stand, raise the rear of the snowmo-

bile off the floor making sure the

track is free to rotate.

3. Start the engine and accelerate

slightly. Use only enough throttle to

turn the track several revolutions.

SHUT ENGINE OFF.

NOTE: Allow the track to coast to a

stop. DO NOT apply the brake

because it could produce an inaccu-

rate alignment condition.

4. When the track stops rotating, check

the relationship of the idler wheels

and the outside of the track. If the

idler wheels are an equal length from

the outside of the track, no adjust-

ment is necessary.

0755-003

CAUTION

Always maintain track tension within

recommended specification.

! WARNING

Always make sure the adjusting bolts

are snug against the axle and the

idler wheel cap screws are tightened

to specifications. Failure to do so

could cause the track to become

extremely loose and, under some

operating conditions, allow the idler

wheels to climb over the track lugs

forcing the track against the tunnel

causing the track to “lock.” If a track

“locks” during operation, severe per-

sonal injury could result.

! WARNING

Make sure the ignition key is in the

OFF position and the track is not

rotating before checking or adjusting

track alignment. Personal injury

could result if contact is made with a

rotating track.

! WARNING

The tips of the skis must be posi-

tioned against a wall or similar

object.

! WARNING

DO NOT stand behind the snowmo-

bile or near the rotating track. NEVER

run the track at high speed when the

track is suspended.
