Drive Clutch And Driven Clutch
The drive clutch and driven clutch do not require lubri-
cation; therefore, no special maintenance is required
by the snowmobile owner. However, the drive clutch
and driven clutch should be disassembled, cleaned,
and inspected before each race.

NOTE: A small amount of grease should be
applied to the driven shaft before installing the
driven clutch.
When operating the snowmobile at high altitudes, it
may be necessary to change certain component parts
of the drive clutch. If the operator does not feel quali-
fied to change clutch components, see an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this service.
Drive Clutch/Driven Clutch
Alignment
The parallelism and the offset between the drive clutch
and driven clutch are set at the factory. Normally, no
adjustment is necessary as long as neither the drive
clutch nor the driven clutch is removed or disassem-
bled. However, if premature drive belt wear is experi-
enced or if the drive belt turns over, the drive clutch/
driven clutch alignment must be checked. If the opera-
tor does not feel qualified to align the clutch/clutch,
see an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
this service.
Shock Absorbers
Each shock absorber should be visibly checked daily for
excessive fluid leakage, cracks or breaks in the lower
case, a bent plunger, and wear or leakage in the hoses. If
any one of these conditions is detected, replacement is
necessary. If the operator does not feel qualified to ser-
vice or replace shock absorbers, see an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this service.
Track Studs

NOTE: The track on this snowmobile is not
equipped with studs. For additional information,
see the 2015 POGA Reference Guide.
The decision to install studs should be made only after
reviewing the International Snowmobile Racing, Inc.
regulations as they pertain to the type of racing you
participate in. Arctic Cat has a variety of studding
products available from your authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer.
Towing
If this snowmobile is to be towed by another snowmo-
bile, do not tow using the loops in the skis. The tow
rope should be attached to the lower A-arms.
CAUTION
Use Clutch Puller (p/n 0744-062). Never substitute a
different puller or drive clutch damage will occur.
