Foreword
The ZR 120 Snowmobile is intended to be a learning/recreational snowmobile for a
responsible child at least 6 years of age and under adult supervision. This snowmobile
is intended to be ridden by the operator only; there should be no passenger. Also, this
snowmobile is intended for daylight use in restricted off-road areas, primarily on
snow. Use of this snowmobile on public streets, roads, and highways can be hazard-
ous and is prohibited by law in most cases. As a parent or guardian, one must accept
the responsibility of training the child in the safe operation of the snowmobile. Teach
all operators the basic principles of operation, snowmobile rules and regulations, and
especially how to stop the snowmobile in case of an emergency. Impress upon the
child a sense of snowmobile courtesy and responsibility.
This snowmobile is a quality Arctic Cat product designed, engineered, and assembled
to give dependable service. Be sure, as the owner, to become thoroughly familiar with
its basic operation, maintenance, and storage procedures. Read this manual and the
accompanying Snowmobile Safety Handbook to ensure safe and proper use of the
snowmobile.
This manual is divided into sections. The sections “Getting Ready to Operate the ZR
120 Safely” and “Operating the ZR 120” must be read and explained to the child/
operator. The other sections are for the owner/parent/guardian and contain informa-
tion on snowmobile identification, safe operating instructions, lubrication, mainte-
nance, storage, and after-storage preparation. If repair or service is ever required,
contact an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for professional service.
