16. If possible, store the snowmobile indoors. Raise the
track off the floor by blocking up the back end mak-
ing sure the snowmobile is secure. Loosen the track
adjusting bolts to reduce track tension. Cover the
snowmobile with a machine cover or a heavy, venti-
lated tarpaulin to protect it from dirt and dust.
17. If the snowmobile must be stored outdoors, position the
snowmobile out of direct sunlight; then block the entire
snowmobile off the ground making sure the snowmobile
is secure. Loosen the track adjusting bolts to reduce
track tension. Cover with a machine cover or a heavy,
ventilated tarpaulin to protect it from dirt, dust, and rain.
Preparation After
Storage
Taking the snowmobile out of storage and correctly pre-
paring it for another season will assure many miles and
hours of trouble-free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat recom-
mends the following procedure:
1. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly. Polish the exte-
rior of the snowmobile.
2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the exhaust
system. Check exhaust system and air silencer for
obstructions.
3. Inspect all control wires and cables for signs of wear or
fraying. Replace if necessary. Use cable ties or tape to
route wires and cables away from hot or rotating parts.
4. Inspect the drive belt for cracks and tears. Check belt
specifications. Replace if damaged or worn. Install
the drive belt (see Section 6).
NOTE: If the old belt is worn but in reasonable con-
dition, retain it with the snowmobile as a spare in
case of emergency.
5. On the 570 cc, inspect the in-line fuel filter and replace if
necessary; then adjust the carburetors and choke cable.
6. Adjust the throttle cable. Inspect all fuel hoses and
oil hoses for deterioration or cracks; replace if neces-
sary. Make sure all connections are tight.
7. On the 2-stroke, fill the oil-injection reservoir with the
recommended 2-cycle oil; then inspect each spark
plug. Replace, gap, or clean as necessary.
NOTE: On the 2-stroke models after prolonged stor-
age, Arctic Cat recommends one tankful of 100:1 gas/
oil mixture be used in conjunction with the oil-injec-
tion system to ensure proper lubrication.
8. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap screws making sure
all calibrated nuts, bolts, and cap screws are tight-
ened to specifications.
9. If not done during preparation for storage, lubricate
the rear suspension with an all-temperature grease.
On the Bearcat/F-Series/T-Series, lubricate the spin-
dles and steering arm with an all-temperature grease.
10. On liquid cooled models, check the coolant level and
all coolant hoses and connections for deterioration or
cracks. Add properly mixed coolant as necessary.
11. On the 570 cc, clean the engine cooling fins and
vents.
12. On electric start models, charge the battery; then
connect the battery cables making sure to connect the
positive cable first. Test the electric start system.
13. Inspect the entire brake system, all controls, head-
light, taillight, brakelight, ski wear bars, and head-
light aim; adjust or replace as necessary.
14. Adjust the track to the proper tension and alignment.
After Break-In Checkup/
Checklist
Certain areas require adjustment after the break-in period
in order to obtain peak performance. These areas are the
following.
CARBURETOR JETTING (570 cc)
— Altitude, tem-
perature, and the use of oxygenated gasoline affect the
carburetion needed for optimum engine performance.
The carburetor main jets must be changed in conjunction
with changes in operating altitude, oxygenated gasoline
usage, and temperature.
DRIVE BELT DEFLECTION
— Drive belt deflection is
very important to the snowmobile. Even if it is checked and is
correct when the snowmobile is set up, it does change (more
so during the break-in period). This is because the rubber
engine mounts and the rubber snubber on the torque link will
all take a “set” during the first 100 miles allowing the distance
between the drive clutch and driven pulley to shorten. When
this happens, the snowmobile will appear to have a too long
drive belt. To add to this, the drive belt itself wears and
stretches somewhat leading to a low-end performance problem
and, if not corrected, causes premature drive belt wear.
After the break-in period, drive belt deflection should be
checked according to the instructions given in Section 6
of this manual.
DRIVE CLUTCH/DRIVEN PULLEY
ALIGNMENT
— The alignment between the drive
clutch and driven pulley are set at the factory. Normally,
no adjustment is necessary; however, if premature drive
belt wear or poor performance is experienced, the drive
clutch/driven pulley alignment must be checked.
CAUTION
Avoid storing in direct sunlight and using a plastic cover as
moisture may collect on the snowmobile causing corrosion.
CAUTION
On the 570 cc if the gas in each carburetor float cham-
ber was not drained prior to storage, the carburetors
must be cleaned before starting the engine.
! WARNING
Be sure to tighten the swivel adapter jam nuts securely. If a
jam nut isn’t tightened, the adjuster can rotate out of the
carburetor cap causing the piston valve not to return to the
full-closed position.
