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.
When operating the snowmobile at high
altitudes, it may be necessary to change
certain component parts of the drive
clutch and/or the driven clutch. See an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for further information.
Drive Clutch/Driven
Clutch Alignment
The parallelism and the offset between the
drive clutch and driven clutch are set at the
factory. Normally, no adjustment is neces-
sary as long as neither the drive clutch nor
the driven clutch is removed or disassem-
bled. However, if premature drive belt wear
is experienced or if the drive belt turns over,
the drive clutch/driven clutch alignment
must be checked. Take the snowmobile to
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for this service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is designed to provide ade-
quate amount of gas to the carburetors (570
cc) or to the injectors (F5/1100 cc) at all
throttle settings. If a fuel delivery problem is
suspected, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. If not
under warranty, this service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a
battery as a spark could ignite hydro-
gen gases causing an explosion of
the battery resulting in acid burns or
blindness.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to service the drive
clutch and driven clutch. The drive
clutch and driven clutch must be ser-
viced by an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer only.
