9. Start the snowmobile with the dead
battery and allow it to run for several
minutes before disconnecting the
jumper cables.
10. Remove the jumper cables in oppo-
site order of hook-up (4, 3, 2, 1). Be
careful not to short cables against
bare metal.
NOTE: Have the battery and elec-
trical system checked prior to oper-
ating the snowmobile again.
Drive Clutch and Driven
Clutch
The drive clutch and driven clutch do not
require lubrication; therefore, no special
maintenance is required by the snowmo-
bile owner except for periodical cleaning
(see the Periodic Maintenance Checklist
in the Maintenance section).
However, the drive clutch and driven
clutch should be disassembled, cleaned,
and inspected by an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer after every 800
miles of operation or at the end of the
snowmobiling season whichever occurs
first. This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
When operating the snowmobile at high
altitudes, it may be necessary to change
certain component parts of the drive
clutch and/or the driven clutch. See an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for further information.
Drive Clutch/Driven
Clutch Alignment
The offset between the drive clutch and
driven clutch are set at the factory. Nor-
mally, no adjustment is necessary as long as
neither the drive clutch nor the driven clutch
is removed or disassembled. However, if
premature drive belt wear is experienced or
if the drive belt turns over, the drive clutch/
driven clutch alignment must be checked.
Take the snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this service.
If not under warranty, this service is at the
discretion and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is designed to provide ade-
quate amount of gas to the injectors at all
throttle settings. If a fuel delivery problem is
suspected, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. If not
under warranty, this service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
Shock Absorbers
Each shock absorber should be visibly
checked weekly for fluid leakage, cracks or
breaks in the lower case, or a bent plunger.
If any one of these conditions is detected,
replacement is necessary. Take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. If not under
warranty, this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
Standard-Lug Track
Accelerated wear strip wear caused by
operating on ice or hard-packed snow
conditions is NOT covered under Arctic
Cat Inc. warranty policy.
Track Studs
NOTE: Stud or hooker plate installa-
tion will void track and tunnel warranty.
NOTE: Arctic Cat does not recom-
mend studding a track with a 1.5
inch lug or greater.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to service the drive
clutch and driven clutch. The drive
clutch and driven clutch must be ser-
viced by an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer only.
