2. Install the spindle axle into the spindle; then position the
ski damper into the bottom of the ski making sure the
damper is properly positioned for the desired ski stance.

NOTE: The ski damper must be positioned in the ski
so it is directly under the spindle.
3. With the cap screw hole of the ski centered with the
spindle axle, slide the cap screw with washer through
the outside of the ski and spindle assemblies.

NOTE: Local laws and/or regulations as to maxi-
mum width of the ski stance may be applicable.
Always comply with the maximum width laws and/or
regulations when adjusting ski stance.

NOTE: Install the cap screw so the lock nut will be
located to the inside of the ski and the cotter pin slot
in the cap screw will be horizontal with the ski.
4. Install the remaining washer and lock nut; then
tighten the lock nut to 35 ft-lb.

NOTE: Assure that the cotter pin slot in the cap
screw is still horizontal with the ski (see illustration);
then proceed to step 7.
5. Install the cotter pin from the back side of the ski cap
screw and spread the pin.

NOTE: Repeat this sub-section on the opposite side.

tion) of the chassis.
2. Secure the bar with the two mounting brackets,
four machine screws.
3. Tighten machine screws evenly to 8 ft-lb.

Brake System
Checking Brake Fluid
1. With the brake fluid reservoir in a level position,
check the fluid level. The brake fluid level must be
just below the high mark.
SNO-253
2. If the brake fluid level is below the low mark,
remove the reservoir cover and add Arctic Cat
approved brake fluid until the fluid level is just
below the high mark. Install and secure the reser-
voir cover. Do not allow moisture to contaminate
the brake system.
Checking Brake Lever Operation
1. Test the operation of the hydraulic brake system
by compressing the brake lever.
2. The brake lever must feel firm when compressed.
Ski Alignment
Checking

NOTE: Track tension and alignment must be properly
adjusted prior to checking or adjusting ski alignment.
Ski alignment must be performed on a flat, level sur-
face. Ski toe-out must fall within the specified range.
1. Raise the front end of snowmobile just high
enough that the ski shocks are fully extended but
the skis are still resting on the floor.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the brake fluid reservoir. Overfilling the
reservoir may cause the brake system to hydraulically
lock. Use only Arctic Cat approved brake fluid.
Toe-Out Range
0.0 - 12.7 mm (0 - 1/2 in.)
