Lubrication
Chain Case
The recommended amount of synthetic chain lube in
the chain case is 15 fl oz. Adding more transmission
lube to the chain case (above the recommended
amount) may result in leakage. To check the transmis-
sion lube level, use the following procedure:

NOTE: The snowmobile must be on a level surface
for this procedure.
Check chain case lube level using the chain case sight
glass at the right-side footrest. If the lube is at least
halfway up the sight glass, the level is correct.

3. If the lubricant level is above the add mark, the
lubricant level is satisfactory. If the lubricant level
is below the add mark, proceed to step 4.
4. If oil is low, add transmission lube by removing the
oil fill plug.


NOTE: If excessive oil deposits are observed, the
chain case must be serviced. Also, when the oil level
is at the add mark, approximately 2 fl oz of transmis-
sion lube must be added to the chain case.
Rear Suspension
1. With the gas tank nearly empty (less than 1/4 full),
lay the snowmobile on its side. A piece of card-
board should be used to protect the finish on the
hood and belly pan.

NOTE: Prior to tipping the snowmobile on its
side, apply the brake and set the brake lever lock.
2. Lubricate the grease fittings with an all-tempera-
ture grease.

CAUTION
The correct lubricant to use in the chain case is Arctic
Cat Synthetic Chain Lube (p/n 5639-038). Any substi-
tute may cause premature chain failure or serious
damage to the chain drive system.
