Preparation after Storage
Taking the snowmobile out of storage
and correctly preparing it for another sea-
son will assure many miles and hours of
trouble-free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat
recommends 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-intake
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 rotating parts.
4. Inspect the drive belt for cracks and
tears. Check belt specifications.
Replace if damaged or worn. Install
the drive belt.
NOTE: If the old belt is worn but in
reasonable condition, retain it with
the snowmobile as a spare in case of
emergency.
NOTE: On the 570 cc models,
inspect the in-line fuel filter and
replace if necessary.
5. Inspect all fuel hoses and oil hoses
for deterioration or cracks; replace if
necessary. Make sure all connections
are tight; then on the
F5 LXR/570 cc
models
, fill the oil-injection reser-
voir with the recommended 2-cycle
oil (see Gasoline-Oil - Recom-
mended Injection Oil sub-section in
the General Information section).
NOTE: After prolonged storage of
the F5 LXR/570 cc models, Arctic Cat
recommends one tankful of 100:1 gas/
oil mixture be used in conjunction with
the oil-injection system to ensure
proper lubrication.
6. On the F5 LXR/570 cc models,
inspect the spark plugs. Replace,
gap, or clean as necessary.
7. Verify the condition of and the
adjustment of the carburetors and
choke cable (on
the 570 cc models)
and throttle cable (on all models).
8. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap
screws making sure all nuts, bolts,
and cap screws are tightened
securely.
9. If not done during preparation for
storage, lubricate the rear suspen-
sion, spindles, and steering arms
with all-temperature grease.
10. On the 1100 cc models, check the
coolant level and all coolant hoses
and connections for deterioration or
cracks. Add properly mixed coolant
as necessary.
11. On the 570 cc models, clean the
engine cooling fins and vents.
12. On electric start models, charge the
battery until fully charged (see Bat-
tery sub-section in the Maintenance
section); then connect the battery
cables making sure to connect the
positive cable first. Test the electric
start system.
13. Inspect the entire brake system, all
controls, headlight, taillight, brake-
light, ski wear bars, and headlight
aim; adjust or replace as necessary.
14. Adjust the track to the proper tension
and alignment (see Track Tension
and Track Alignment sub-sections in
the Maintenance section).
CAUTION
On the 570 cc models if the gas in
each carburetor float chamber was
not drained prior to storage, the car-
buretors must be cleaned before
starting the engine.
! WARNING
On the 570 cc models, be sure to
tighten the swivel adapter jam nuts
securely. If a jam nut isn’t tightened,
the adjuster can rotate out of the carbu-
retor cap causing the throttle valve not
to return to the full-closed position.
