MAINTENANCE 75
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. With the gas tank nearly empty
(less than 1/4 full), lay the
snowmobile on its left side. A
piece of cardboard should be
used to protect the finish on the
hood and belly pan.
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.
! CAUTION
The “Laydown” engine models
should not be tipped on their
right sides for any extended
period of time, as air bubbles
may form in the oil hose. If air
bubbles form in the oil hose, the
oil injection system must be
bled. Take the snowmobile to
an authorized Arctic Cat snow-
mobile dealer for this service.
This service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
! CAUTION
The 660 cc models should not
b e t i p p e d o n t h e i r s i d e s i n
excess of a 70° angle for any
reason, as the engine oil may
s e e p i n t o t h e u p p e r e n g i n e
through the air-intake system.
Severe engine damage could
result if the engine is run with
oil in the upper engine.
