16. If possible, store the snowmobile

indoors. Raise the track off the floor

by blocking up the back end making

sure the snowmobile is secure.

Loosen the track adjusting bolts to

reduce track tension. Cover the

snowmobile with a machine cover or

a heavy tarpaulin to protect it from

dirt and dust.

17. If the snowmobile must be stored out-

doors, position the snowmobile out of

direct sunlight; then block the entire

snowmobile off the ground making

sure the snowmobile is secure. Loosen

the track adjusting bolts to reduce

track tension. Cover with a machine

cover or a heavy tarpaulin to protect it

from dirt, dust, and rain.

Preparation after Storage

Taking the snowmobile out of storage

and correctly preparing it for another sea-

son will ensure many hours of trouble-

free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat recom-

mends the following procedure:

1. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly.

Polish the exterior of the snowmobile.

2. Clean the engine. Remove the steel

wool from the exhaust system.

Check exhaust system and air-intake

silencer for obstructions.

3. Inspect all control wires and cables

for signs of wear or fraying. Replace

if necessary. Use cable ties or tape to

route wires and cables away from

hot or rotating parts.

4. Inspect the drive belt for cracks and

tears. Check belt specifications.

Replace if damaged or worn. Install

the drive belt.

NOTE: If the old belt is worn but in

reasonable condition, retain it with

the snowmobile as a spare in case of

emergency.

5. Inspect all fuel hoses and oil hoses

for deterioration or cracks; replace if

necessary. Make sure all connections

are tight; then fill the oil-injection

reservoir with the recommended

2-cycle oil.

6. Inspect the spark plug. Replace, gap,

or clean as necessary.

7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap

screws making sure all nuts, bolts,

and cap screws are tightened

securely.

8. If not done during preparation for

storage, lubricate the rear suspen-

sion with low-temperature grease.

9. Check the coolant level and all cool-

ant hoses and connections for deteri-

oration or cracks. Add properly

mixed coolant as necessary.

10. On electric start models, charge the

battery until fully charged; then con-

nect the battery cables making sure

to connect the positive cable first.

Test the electric start system.

11. Inspect the entire brake system, all

controls, headlight, taillight, brake

light, ski wear bars, and headlight

aim; adjust or replace as necessary.

12. Adjust the track to the proper tension

and alignment.

CAUTION

Sealed batteries require charging if

left for extended non-start periods.

Arctic Cat recommends trickle

charging once a month using a

CTEK Battery Maintainer (p/n 5639-

418/419). Follow the manufacturer’s

instructions and cautions.

CAUTION

Avoid storing in direct sunlight and

using a plastic cover as moisture

may collect on the snowmobile caus-

ing corrosion.
