MAINTENANCE 47
The longevity and safety of the snow-
mobile can be increased by making
periodic checks of the items in the pre-
ceding checklist.
If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibra-
tions, or improper working conditions
of any component of this snowmobile
are detected, DO NOT OPERATE
THE SNOWMOBILE. Take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer for inspection
and adjustment or repair.
The snowmobile should be taken to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer at the end of each snowmobil-
ing season for general inspection and
for off-season storage servicing. This
inspection and servicing is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
FUEL SYSTEM
In-Line Fuel Filter
(Carbureted Models)
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-
line fuel filter be checked weekly. The
in-line fuel filter is located just in front
of the fuel pump inlet fitting. The filter
must be clean to allow the fuel hose to
transmit the amount of gasoline
required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed,
gasoline flow will be restricted; there-
fore, the filter must be replaced. To
remove and install the in-line fuel fil-
ter, use the following procedure:

NOTE: Determine which style
in-line fuel filter is being replaced
and remove and install accord-
ingly.
1. On models with a gas tank shut-off
valve, turn the gas tank shut-off
valve to the CLOSED position.
2. Using a screwdriver, pry the fuel
hoses off the in-line fuel filter and
remove the filter.

728-272B

NOTE: The in-line fuel filter must
be replaced if obstructed. Filters
are available from an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
3. Install the in-line fuel filter in the
fuel hose so the arrow on the filter
points toward the fuel pump.
Make sure the fuel hoses fit
tightly on the filter. If a fuel hose
does not fit tightly, cut 6 mm (1/4
in.) from the end of the fuel hose;
then install on the filter.
! WARNING
Whenever any maintenance or
inspection is made on the fuel
system in which there may be fuel
leakage, there should be no weld-
ing, smoking, open flames, etc., in
the area.
