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 control. If the snowmobile
is operated primarily in deep snow, ski wear bar wear will
be minimal; however, if the snowmobile is operated on
terrain where the snow cover is minimal, the ski wear bar
will wear faster. Arctic Cat recommends that the ski wear
bars be checked once a week and replaced if worn to 1/2
of original diameter.
REMOVING
1. Using a suitable stand or lift, raise the front of the
snowmobile off the floor; then remove the lock nuts
securing the wear bar to the ski.
2. Pry the rear of the wear bar down until the wear bar
studs are clear of the ski; then slide the wear bar rear-
ward until the front of the wear bar is free from the
ski.
3. Remove the wear bar.
INSTALLING
1. Insert the front of the wear bar into the hole at the
front of the ski and swing the wear bar upward; then
insert the wear bar studs into the holes in the ski.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the ski lock nut or binding will
occur.
! WARNING
DO NOT bend the ski wear bar excessively when install-
ing. Excessive bending of the ski wear bar may cause
premature wear, breakage, and possible injury.
