Preparation for Storage
Prior to storing the snowmobile, it must be
properly serviced to prevent corrosion and
component deterioration. An authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer should per-
form this service; however, the owner/
operator can perform this service if
desired. This service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner. To
prepare the snowmobile for storage, Arctic
Cat recommends the following procedure:
1. Clean the seat cushion with a damp
cloth and a 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 snow-
mobile to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get
water into any part of the engine.

NOTE: On the 5000 models,
change the engine oil and replace
the air filter if necessary; then pro-
ceed to step 6.
3. Place the rear of the snowmobile up
on a shielded safety stand.
4. Carefully pry the intake boots partially
over the carburetor/throttle body inlets;
then start the engine and allow to idle.
5. Spray an Engine Storage Preserver
into the intakes until the engine
exhaust starts to smoke heavily or
until the engine starts to drop in
RPM. Turn engine off. Install the
intake boots.
6. Plug the exhaust system outlet with
a clean cloth.
7. With the ignition switch in the OFF
position:
A. Disconnect the high tension
leads from the spark plugs; then
remove the plugs, connect them
to the leads, and ground them on
the cylinder heads.
B. Pour 29.5 ml (1 fl oz) of SAE
#30 petroleum-based oil into
each spark plug hole and pull the
recoil starter handle slowly about
10 times.
C. Install the spark plugs and con-
nect the high tension leads.

NOTE: On the 2000 models, drain
the gas from each carburetor float
chamber.
8. Fill the gas tank to its rated capacity;
then add Arctic Cat Fuel Stabilizer
(p/n 0436-907) to the gas tank fol-
lowing directions on the container
for
the stabilizer/gasoline ratio.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely.
9. Flush the gear case and replace the
lubricant.
10. Remove the drive belt from the drive
clutch/driven clutch. Lay the belt on
a flat surface or slide it into a card-
board sleeve to prevent warping or
distortion during storage.
11. Clean and inspect the drive clutch
and driven clutch.
12. Apply light oil to the upper steering
post bushing and shafts of the shock
absorbers.
13. Lubricate the rear suspension, spin-
dles, and steering arms with all-tem-
perature grease.
14. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap
screws making sure all nuts, bolts,
and
cap screws are tightened
securely. Make sure all rivets hold-
ing the components together are
tight. Replace all loose rivets.
CAUTION
Do not do steps 3-5 on the 5000 mod-
els; severe engine damage could
result.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine without the belt
guard in place and secured.
CAUTION
Do not do step 7 on the 5000 models;
severe engine damage could result.
CAUTION
Never crank the engine over without
grounding the spark plugs. Damage
to coils and/or CDI/ECM may result.
