
NOTE: On the non-turbo models,
the fuel filter is located below the
steering support. To access the filter,
the hood must be removed (see
Access Panel/Hood (Removing/
Installing) in the General Information
section of this manual).

NOTE: On the turbo models, the
fuel filter is located between the gas
tank and the rear belt guard and is
secured to the tunnel with a filter
bracket. To access the filter, the left-
side access panel must be opened
and the lower console must be
unlatched and opened.
1. 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.
2. Inspect the fuel hoses thoroughly for
any signs of cracking, cuts, or wear
points.
3. 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.

NOTE: After completing the
changing of the fuel filter and the
engine is started for the first time,
inspect the filter area for any signs
of leaks.
Gasoline Additives
Fuel de-icer can be used for all models.
Also, periodic use of an injector cleaner
for 800 cc models is recommended espe-
cially in the last tank of gasoline before
storage. Arctic Cat Fuel Stabilizer (p/n
0436-907) should also be added to the
last tank of gasoline before storage.
Fuel Pickup Valves
If ever there is a restricted fuel flow and a
pickup valve is suspected, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. If not
under warranty, this service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
