5. Check headlight aim.
Adjusting Headlight Aim
The headlight can be adjusted for vertical
aim of the HIGH/LOW beam. The geo-
metric center of HIGH beam zone is to be
used for vertical aiming.
1. Position the snowmobile on a level
floor so the headlight is approxi-
mately 8 m (25 ft) from an aiming
surface (wall or similar surface).
NOTE: There should be an “aver-
age” operating load on the snowmo-
bile when adjusting headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor
to midpoint of the headlight.
3. Using the measurement obtained in
step 2, make a horizontal mark on
the aiming surface.
4. Make a vertical mark which intersects
the horizontal mark on the aiming sur-
face directly in front of the headlight.
5. Engage the brake lever lock and start
the engine. Move the headlight dimmer
switch to the HIGH beam position. DO
NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe the headlight beam aim.
Proper aim is when the most intense
beam is centered on the vertical mark 5
cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark
on the aiming surface.

7. Adjust the headlight using the adjust-
ing screw on the backside of the head-
light using a 4 mm swivel socket and
long extension until correct aim is
obtained. Shut the engine off; then dis-
engage the brake lever lock.

Ski Wear Bars
The ski wear bar is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of the ski. The
purpose of the wear bar is to assist in
turning the snowmobile, to minimize ski
wear, and to maintain good steering con-
trol. If the snowmobile is operated pri-
marily in deep snow, ski wear bar wear
will be minimal; however, if the snow-
mobile is operated on terrain where the
snow cover is minimal, the ski wear bar
will wear faster. To maintain positive
steering characteristics, Arctic Cat rec-
ommends that the ski wear bars be
checked before each use and replaced if
worn beyond 1/2 of the original diameter.
Ski wear bars are available from an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer.
Removing Ski Wear Bars
1. Using Front End Lift (p/n 5639-
151), elevate the front of the snow-
mobile.
2. Remove the lock nuts securing the
wear bar to the ski.
! WARNING
Do not operate the snowmobile
unless headlight beam is adjusted
properly. An incorrectly adjusted
beam will not provide the operator
the optimum amount of light.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with
excessively worn ski wear bars may
result in a loss of steering control.
