the snowmobile to be jump-started
are turned OFF.

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 periodical cleaning
(see the Periodic Maintenance Checklist
in the Maintenance section).
However, the drive clutch and driven
clutch should be disassembled, cleaned,
and inspected by an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer after every 800
miles of operation or at the end of the
snowmobiling season whichever occurs
first. This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
CAUTION
Failure
to
disconnect
electronic
accessories
during
jump-starting
may cause system damage due to
power spikes.
! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a bat-
tery as a spark could ignite hydrogen
gases causing an explosion of the bat-
tery resulting in acid burns or blindness.
