3. Install the new in-line fuel filter (if
necessary) in the fuel hose so the
arrow on the filter points toward the
fuel pump. Make sure the fuel hoses
fit tightly on the filter. If the existing
fuel hose does not fit tightly on the
filter, cut 6 mm (1/4 in.) from the end
of the fuel hose; then install on the
filter and secure with new clamps.

In-Line Fuel Filter (Bearcat
Z1 XT/TZ1 Models)
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-line
fuel filter be replaced every 5000 miles.
The in-line fuel filter is located just
inside the left-side access panel. The fil-
ter must be clean to allow the fuel hose to
transmit the amount of gasoline required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed, gas-
oline flow will be restricted; therefore,
the filter must be replaced. To remove
and install the in-line fuel filter, use the
following procedure:

NOTE: Before removing the fuel fil-
ter, take note of the filter inlet and
outlet for installing purposes.
1. Open the left-side access panel; then
remove the fuel filter from the
bracket.

NOTE: On the TZ1 Turbo models to
access the fuel filter, remove the
screw (A) securing the left-side rear
spar to the gas tank; then remove
the screws (B) securing the left-side
knee pad.

2. Remove the hose clamps and dis-
card; then slowly remove the fuel
hoses from the fuel filter. Dispose of
the excess fuel from the filter prop-
erly.
3. Inspect the fuel hoses thoroughly for
any signs of cracking, cuts, or wear
points.
4. Place the new hose clamps on the
fuel hoses; then with the fuel pump
inlet and outlet noted, connect the
fuel hoses to the fuel filter. Secure
with the hose clamps.
5. Secure the new fuel filter to the fuel
filter bracket; then start the engine
and inspect the fuel hoses and filter
for any signs of leaks.
Gasoline Additives
Fuel de-icer can be used for all models.
Also, periodic use of an injector cleaner
for Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1 models is recom-
mended especially in the last tank of gas-
oline before storage. Arctic Cat Fuel
Stabilizer (p/n 0436-907) should also be
added to the last tank of gasoline before
storage.
! WARNING
The fuel hoses must fit tightly on the
fuel filter. If the fuel hose length
doesn’t permit this procedure,
replace the fuel hose. Also, after
installing the fuel hoses on the filter,
check to be sure that the fuel hoses
do not contact any hot or rotating
components.
! WARNING
Since the fuel supply hose may be
under pressure, always wear safety
glasses; then remove the hose
slowly to release the pressure. Place
an absorbent towel around the con-
nection to absorb the fuel.
