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. To main-
tain positive steering characteristics,
Arctic Cat recommends that the ski
wear bars be checked once a week and
replaced if worn to 1/2 of original diam-
eter. Ski wear bars are available from an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer.
Removing Ski Wear Bar
1. Remove ice and snow buildup from
the ski.
2. With the gas tank nearly empty
(less than 1/4 full), lay the snow-
mobile on its side. A piece of card-
board should be used to protect the
finish on the hood.
3. Remove the lock nuts and washers
securing the wear bar to the ski.

4. Pry the rear of the wear bar down
until both of the wear bar studs are
clear of the ski; then slide the wear
bar rearward until the front of the
wear bar is free from the ski.
5. Remove the wear bar.
Installing Ski Wear Bar
1. Insert the front of the wear bar into
the hole at the front of the ski and
swing the rear of the wear bar
upward.
2. Insert the wear bar studs into the
holes in the ski.
3. Center the wear bar studs in the
holes and install the washers and
lock nuts.
4. Tighten lock nuts securely.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with
excessively worn ski wear bars
may result in a loss of steering
control.
! WARNING
DO NOT bend the ski wear bar
excessively when installing.
Excessive bending of the ski
wear bar may cause premature
wear, breakage, and possible
injury.
