Rail Wear Strips
Arctic Cat recommends that the wear strips
be checked weekly and replaced as neces-
sary. Measure the wear strips at 25.4 cm
(10 in.) intervals. Wear strips must be 10.7
mm (0.42 in.) thick or thicker.
If wear strip measurements are less than
specified, replacement of both wear strips
is necessary to prevent premature track
clip wear and possible track damage.
Take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered. Temper
the wear strips by driving the snowmobile
for approximately a mile on a hard pack
trail; then immediately drive into deep snow
and allow the wear strips to cool. Repeat the
procedure (warming up the wear strips; then
cooling them down) two or three times.
NOTE: The rail wear strips will wear
rapidly if the snowmobile is operated
on terrain on which the snow cover is
minimal. Loose snow is required to
cool and lubricate the wear strips and
prevent accelerated wear.
