86 MAINTENANCE
RAIL WEAR STRIPS
Arctic Cat recommends that the wear
strips be checked weekly and replaced
as necessary. Measure the wear strips
at 25.4 cm (10 in.) intervals. Wear
strips must be 10.7 mm (0.42 in.) thick
or thicker.
If wear strip measurements are less
than specified, replacement of both
wear strips is necessary to prevent pre-
mature track clip wear and possible
track damage. Take the snowmobile to
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for this service. This service is
at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered.
Temper the wear strips by driving the
snowmobile for approximately a mile
on a hard pack trail; then immediately
drive into deep snow and allow the
wear strips to cool. Repeat the proce-
dure (warming up the wear strips; then
cooling them down) two or three
times.

NOTE: The rail wear strips will
wear rapidly if the snowmobile is
operated on terrain on which the
snow cover is minimal. Loose
snow is required to cool and lubri-
cate the wear strips and prevent
accelerated wear.

AXIAL FAN BELT
(370 cc Model)
Arctic Cat recommends that the condi-
tion of the axial fan belt be inspected
monthly.
1. Be sure ignition key is in the OFF

screws securing the fan cover;
then remove the fan cover.
3. Inspect axial fan belt for cracks,
wear, and proper tension.

4. Using the thumb and forefinger,
check the tension (tightness) of
the fan belt by squeezing the belt
together near mid-span. The max-
imum belt deflection must not
exceed 6 mm (1/4 in.).

NOTE: If the axial fan belt is
damaged or if the belt deflection
exceeds the specification, take
the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
repair or adjustment. This service
is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
5. Install the fan cover.
! WARNING
DO NOT inspect the axial fan belt
while the engine is running. Con-
tact with the axial fan belt, fan
blades, or other moving parts may
cause personal injury.
