TRACK
Carefully matching the riding requirements to the type of
track will ensure the maximum use of all available engine
power. Lug height and track durometer are the two main
concerns when selecting a track for various riding styles.
Tracks exist with lug heights from 0.750” up to 2.6” to
accommodate various snow conditions. Generally, the
deeper the snow, the taller the lug. It must be noted that
the installation of any deep-lug track may reduce top end
speed and promote premature wear strip wear in marginal
snow conditions.
Durometer is a measurement of how hard a rubber is. The
lugs on most tracks range between 60 and 85 durometer.
On the durometer scale, the higher the number, the harder
the lugs. For riding in deep powder snow, a softer durome-
ter track works best. The softer rubber allows the track to
“give” a little and pack the snow creating lift rather than
digging its way straight down. When hill-climbing, the
harder lug of an 80 durometer track works the best due to
penetrating the hard snow creating more bite.
Some tracks come with a dual durometer rating, such as a
track with a 80/60 durometer rating. The lugs on this track
are 80% 80 durometer rubber, and the top 20% is made of
the softer 60 durometer rubber. This track is designed to be
a good all-around track for riding mostly in deep powder
snow but can climb the occasional hard snow hill.
Preparation For Storage
Prior to storing the snowmobile, it must be properly ser-
viced to prevent corrosion and component deterioration.
1. Clean the seat cushion with a damp cloth and Arctic
Cat Vinyl Protectant.
2. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly by hosing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter from the skid frame,
tunnel, hood, and belly pan. Allow the snowmobile
to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part
of the engine.
3. Change the engine oil and replace the air filter on the
9000 if necessary.
4. Fill the gas tank to its rated capacity; then add Arctic
Cat Fuel Stabilizer to the gas tank following direc-
tions on the container for the stabilizer/gasoline
ratio. Tighten the gas tank cap securely.
5. With the snowmobile level, check the lubricant level
in the chain case. If low, add chain lube through the
fill plug hole.
6. Remove the drive belt from the drive clutch/driven
clutch. Lay the belt on a flat surface or slide it into a
cardboard sleeve to prevent warping or distortion
during storage; then clean and inspect the drive
clutch and driven clutch.
7. Apply light oil to the upper steering post bushings
and to the shafts of the shock absorbers; then lubri-
cate the rear suspension with an all-temperature
grease.
8. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap screws making sure
all calibrated nuts, bolts, and cap screws are tight-
ened to specifications. Make sure all rivets holding
the components together are tight. Replace all loose
rivets.
9. Clean and polish the hood, console, and chassis with
Cat Cleaner. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS. THE PRO-
PELLENT WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.
10. On electric start models, disconnect the battery
cables making sure to disconnect the negative cable
first; then clean the battery posts and cables.
11. If possible, store the snowmobile indoors. Raise the
track off the floor by blocking up the back end mak-
ing sure the snowmobile is secure. Loosen the track
adjusting bolts to reduce track tension. Cover the
snowmobile with a machine cover or a heavy, venti-
lated tarpaulin to protect it from dirt and dust.
12. If the snowmobile must be stored outdoors, position
the snowmobile out of direct sunlight; then block the
entire snowmobile off the ground making sure the
snowmobile is secure. Loosen the track adjusting
bolts to reduce track tension. Cover with a machine
cover or a heavy, ventilated tarpaulin to protect it
from dirt, dust, and rain.
Preparation After Storage
Taking the snowmobile out of storage and correctly pre-
paring it for another season will assure many miles and
hours of trouble-free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat recom-
mends the following procedure:
1. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly. Polish the exterior
of the snowmobile.
2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the exhaust
system. Check exhaust system and air silencer for
obstructions.
3. Inspect all control wires and cables for signs of wear
or fraying. Replace if necessary. Use cable ties or
tape to route wires and cables away from hot or rotat-
ing parts.
4. Inspect the drive belt for cracks and tears. Check belt
specifications. Replace if damaged or worn. Install
the drive belt (see the Drive Train/Track/Brake Sys-
tems section).
CAUTION
Sealed batteries require charging if left for extended
non-start periods. Arctic Cat recommends trickle charg-
ing once a month. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and cautions.
CAUTION
On models with remote start, make sure to leave the
battery cables disconnected. Failure to disconnect the
battery cables when storing the snowmobile for a pro-
longed period of time (six weeks or more) will result in a
discharged or damaged battery.
CAUTION
Avoid storing in direct sunlight and using a plastic cover as
moisture may collect on the snowmobile causing corrosion.
