LUBRICATION
STANDARD CHAIN
CASE (Every 40
Operating Hours)
The recommended amount of trans-
mission lube in the chain case is 354
ml (12 fl oz). Adding more transmis-
sion lube to the chain case (above the
recommended amount) may result in
leakage. To check the transmission
lube level, use the following proce-
dure:
1. With the snowmobile level, shut
engine off and wait for all moving
parts to stop; then open the hood.
2. Remove the oil level stick from
the chain case cover. Wipe the oil
level stick clean; then install the
oil level stick completely back
into the chain case. Remove the
oil level stick again and check the
lubricant level.
0737-715
3. If the lubricant level is above the
LOW mark, the lubricant level is
satisfactory. If the lubricant level
is at or below the mark, proceed
to step 4.
4. If oil is low, remove the filler plug
and add transmission lube
through the filler plug hole. When
the oil level is correct, install both
the filler plug and the oil level
stick.

NOTE: If excessive oil deposits
are noticed, take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for service. If not
under warranty, this service is at
the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner
.
ACT DRIVE GEAR
CASE (Each Season
Prior to Storage)

NOTE: Flushing the gear case
and replacing the lubricant can be
done by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat dealer for this service. If
not under warranty, this service is
at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner
.
It is very important that the gear case
be flushed and the lubricant be
replaced after each season of use. Arc-
tic Cat recommends that the flushing
and replacing be done prior to off-sea-
son storage.
To flush the gear case and replace the
lubricant, use the following procedure:
1. Open the left-side access panel;
then remove the panel and the belt
guard.
2. Remove the drive belt (see Drive
Belt sub-section); then remove
the driven pulley.
! CAUTION
The correct lubricant to use in the
chain case is Arctic Cat Transmis-
sion Lube (p/n 0636-817). Any
substitute may cause premature
chain failure or serious damage to
the chain drive system.
