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 mini-
mize ski wear, and to maintain good
steering control. If the snowmobile is
operated primarily in deep snow, ski
wear bar wear will be minimal; how-
ever, if the snowmobile is operated on
terrain where the snow cover is mini-
mal, the ski wear bar will wear faster.
To maintain positive steering charac-
teristics, Arctic Cat recommends 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
NOTE: Determine which type of
wear bar is being replaced and
remove and install accordingly.
1. Remove ice and snow buildup
from the ski.
2. Using a suitable safety stand or
lift, elevate the front of the snow-
mobile.
3. Remove the lock nuts and wash-
ers (if applicable) securing the
wear bar to the ski.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with
excessively worn ski wear bars
may result in a loss of steering
control.
