Ski Wear Bar
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 minimize ski
wear, and to maintain good steering con-
trol. If the snowmobile is operated pri-
marily in deep snow, ski wear bar wear
will be minimal; however, if the snow-
mobile is operated on terrain where the
snow cover is minimal, the ski wear bar
will wear faster.
To maintain positive steering characteris-
tics, Arctic Cat recommends that the ski
wear bars be checked once a week and
replaced if worn to 1/2 of original diame-
ter. Ski wear bars are available from an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
Removing Ski Wear Bar
1. Raise the front of the snowmobile.
2. Remove the lock nuts securing the
wear bar to the ski.

holes in the ski.
2. Center the wear bar studs in the
holes and install the lock nuts.
3. Tighten lock nuts securely.
Recoil Starter Air Vents
It is important for proper engine cooling
that the air vents located on the recoil
starter are kept clean. These air vents
should be checked periodically and
cleaned if necessary.
