NOTE: Adding lubricant can be
done 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
Snowmobile dealer for this service.
This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner
.
NOTE: Make sure the snowmobile
is fully shifted into forward.
1. If the lube level is low, remove the
three screws securing the shift actua-
tor to the chain case, disconnect the
actuator wiring harness, and remove
the actuator extension, shift detent,
and spring; then add appropriate
amount of Arctic Cat Synthetic
Chain Lube (p/n 6639-539) through
the shift actuator opening until the
lube is halfway up the sight glass.
2. Install the actuator extension and
gently rotate counter clockwise to
make sure the shift fork is in the for-
ward position.
CAUTION
It is critical that all of the flush fluid
be drained from the gear case prior to
filling with new lubricant.
CAUTION
The correct lubricant to use in the
gear case is Arctic Cat Synthetic ACT
Gear Case Fluid (see chart). Any sub-
stitute may cause serious damage to
the drive system.
CAUTION
Do not add more or less than the rec-
ommended amount of lubricant to the
gear case or damage to the gear case
will occur. Oil level should be at the
Oil Fill Level on the gear case cover.
