Air-Intake Silencer
Used in conjunction with the fuel intake
system is a specially designed air-intake
silencer. The purpose of the silencer is to
quiet the intake of fresh air. Since the fuel
intake system is calibrated with the air-
intake silencer in place, the engine must
never be run with the silencer removed.
Performance will not be improved if the
air-intake silencer is removed. In con-
trast, severe engine damage will occur.
Cooling System
(Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
Models)
These snowmobiles are equipped with a
closed liquid cooling system for engine
cooling. The cooling system should be
inspected daily for leakage and damage.
Also, the coolant level should be checked
daily. If leakage or damage is detected,
take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for ser-
vice. If not under warranty, this service is
at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
Battery (Electric
Start)
It is extremely important that the battery
be maintained at full charge at all times
and that the battery connections be clean
and tight. If charging the battery becomes
necessary, refer to Battery sub-section in
the Maintenance section.
Jump-Starting
(Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
Models)

NOTE: Arctic Cat does not recom-
mend jump-starting a snowmobile
with a dead battery but rather to
remove the battery, service it, and
correctly charge it; however, in an
emergency, it may be necessary to
jump-start a snowmobile. If so, use
the following procedure to carefully
and safely complete this procedure.
1. On the snowmobile to be jump-started,
slide any terminal boots away.
2. Inspect the battery for any signs of
electrolyte leaks, loose terminals, or
bulging sides. Leaking or bulging
battery cases may indicate a frozen
or shorted battery.
3. Inspect the vehicle to be used for
jump-starting to determine if voltage
and ground polarity are compatible.
The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC,
negative ground electrical system.
CAUTION
These snowmobiles are not
designed to be operated in dusty
conditions. Operating the snowmo-
bile in dusty conditions will result in
severe engine damage.
CAUTION
On the Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1 models,
always turn the ignition switch key
to the OFF position when the snow-
mobile is not being used. Leaving
the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion will result in discharging the
battery and possible damage to the
battery.
! WARNING
Improper handling or connecting of
a battery may result in severe injury
including acid burns, electrical
burns, or blindness as a result of an
explosion. Always remove rings and
watches.
! WARNING
Any time service is performed on a
battery, the following must be
observed: keep sparks, open flame,
cigarettes, or any other flame away.
Always wear safety glasses. Protect
skin and clothing when handling a
battery. When servicing a battery in
an enclosed space, keep the area
well-ventilated.
! WARNING
If any of these conditions exist, DO
NOT attempt to jump-start, boost, or
charge the battery. An explosion
could occur causing serious injury.
