OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: On F-Series/Jaguar Z1/T-
Series/TZ1 models if disconnec-
tion of the throttle monitor switch
is needed to start the engine, take
the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
service as soon as possible. If not
under warranty, this service is at
the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner
.
NOTE: The monitor switch is
now bypassed. With exception of
the monitor switch and the emer-
gency stop switch, all other igni-
tion/electrical features (ignition
switch, headlight, taillight, and
brakelight) will operate properly.
VARYING ALTITUDE
OPERATION
Operating a snowmobile at varying
altitudes requires changes in perfor-
mance components. These changes
affect drive train components (on all
models) and carburetion components
(on carbureted models).
The altitude information decal is
located beneath the hood of the snow-
mobile. On carbureted models, the
information is incorporated into the
Carburetor Main Jet Chart decal.
NOTE: Just as important as cali-
brating the snowmobile for higher
altitudes is recalibrating the
snowmobile when going to lower
altitudes. Always consult the alti-
tude decal beneath the hood of
the snowmobile.
M-Series models are initially set up at
the factory for operation between
6000-9000 feet.
NOTE: Carburetion and drive
train changes can be made by the
snowmobile owner if qualified to
do so. If the owner does not feel
qualified, take the snowmobile to
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner
.
! WARNING
Under no circumstances should
disconnection of the throttle con-
trol wiring harness be used as a
substitute for the monitor switch
during normal operation of the
snowmobile. Personal injury and
damage could occur if the throttle
system malfunctions or if the
operator is unable to stop the
engine in an emergency. If the
snowmobile must be operated
with a disconnected throttle con-
trol wiring harness, EXTREME
CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN.
NEVER EXCEED 10 MPH WITH
THE THROTTLE CONTROL WIR-
ING HARNESS DISCONNECTED.
! CAUTION
On carbureted models, carefully
follow the Main Jet Chart recom-
mendations for proper main jet
selection for altitude, tempera-
ture, and gasoline being used.
